Re: Tractors and Caravans
Most days, someone or other will overtake at the most ridiculous and dangerous places to move up a slow-moving queue by no more than 20 or 30 yards and ultimately end up in the same place in the queue as they started once people turn off !

Re: Tractors and Caravans
Several years ago there was very heavy snow in Lincolnshire and a long queue of traffic down a country road. Some bright spark decided that he was exempt queuing, pulled out and shot off, losing control and side-swiping several cars before coming to a halt in the middle of the group of policemen who were controlling the traffic....

Justice - I often think I'd love to see something like that happen to them - so long as no one else gets hurt, of course

Justice - like on Eastenders in the early years when Pete Beale was beating seven shades out of Nick Cotton and a watching copper looked down at Cotton and said "you've had a nasty fall, son"....

Re: Tractors and Caravans
It was my favourite moment from the soap, in the days when I used to watch it.
To get slightly back on-topic, I was walking down a dual carriageway a couple of years back and there was a woman driver pootling along the outer lane, overtaking fresh air at around 30mph, with a cop car with sirens and blue lights speeding up behind her. Would she move? No.

I did wonder why he was walking down a dual carriageway, but didn't like to ask .....!

She was probably trying to avoid a swerving Shiney!! Are you sure the blue lights were not for you Shiney?

Re: Tractors and Caravans
Talking of dual carriageways - I witnessed a man relieving himself on the side of one last week - there was no obvious vehicle. He had probably stopped the other side of the verge and ran into the bushes not realising it was a dual carriageway - everyone was beeping him!!!!

Was that why you ran into the back of the car in front ?!
