On the M62/M60 today
« on: 20 December 2014, 18:02:31 »

I saw:
A bloke undertake, using the hard shoulder, in a 50mph roadworks section of the motorway.
Trucks being blown into the middle lane by the wind.
Lots and lots of dangerous tailgating.
A big merc (450?) fly past me at easily a ton.
Just loads of general very poor driving.


My missus is going to Stoke for a wedding tomorrow in her little megane coupe. I do worry about her.  :(

EDIT: driving on the motorway, not going to Stoke  ;D

The hard shoulder in that section of roadworks is a live lane.

But then anybody going past your  ;Dgaywoo at 45mph would seem like a100mph to you.

The hard shoulder in the part we were on is not live at all, and my daewoo went nearly 60mph today.  :P

I wish  ;) I empty the tank & then fill it ..... usually around the £100 mark, though it's a been a bit less lately.


Digressing ....... I found out just the other day (I've had the car 18 months or so now) that it has two batteries .... thought it had just one!  :-[
