Speaking of worrying about visits from the police......


Earlier on, driving to work, it started drizzling. Going along the A48 m towards the M4, the car in front of me, in the outside lane of the A48M, put his foglights on. There was nothing in the inside lane, but he wouldn't move over, He was another one of these "I'm doing 69mph, so why would you want to pass me" idiots.

Anyhow, kepy back, but gave him a couple of light flashes.. to which he wound down his window, and wagged his finger at me. Twit.

I moved into the inside lane, with a view to a cheeky undertake. However, he also moved to the inside lane. He was basically trying to "police" me, from doing over 70mph. I could have had real road rage at him, had I not been so laid back about it!

When we hit the M4, we came across some roadworks.

When the cars were at a standstill, he got out of his car, and took photo's of my licence plate, and my face... saying the police will be interested in talking to you.

Needless to say, I gave a big cheesy smile for the camera

There are some strange people out there...

When the M4 got quieter, He then proceeded to do 65mph in lane three, causing havoc with all the traffic!

A white van that got behind him, didn't take such a kind approach as me though.... !

There the kind of drivers you just love, stuck in that lane and they will not move.

 

You have passed right by me, I live just off the coldra roundabout by the celtic manor.

 

:)Is that the one on the M4 built right up on the hill? I think they hold golf & sports events there.

Interesting. This thread demonstrates 'Tribalism', in microcosm, where 'OOF' is the 'Tribe.'

Please note that I'm not commenting on the rights or wrongs on what happened,
just the observable effects.

To explain what I mean, let's tell the story again, with a different cast of players.

One day, in a local supermarket car park, Grumpy and TheBoy, were demonstrating
their Tech2 business.
A shopper rolled up in his Omega and asked if they could do anything for his car.
Grumpy said sure, bring it in here and we'll have a look at it.
Grumpy was a bit keen to show what they could do and leapt into action too soon.
He bent the cars windscreen wiper and his overall zips were scratching the car.

The shopper saw red at clodhopper Grumpy damaging his car. He leapt out, grabbed
him by his overalls and dragged him off his car.

TheBoy looked over and saw the shopper grabbing Grumpy and dragging him about
whilst shouting at him. Anxious and fearful for his mate, he leapt over and dragged
the shopper away from Grumpy and pushed him against their work van.
The shopper looked very angry and TheBoy raised his fist, fearing the worst.
The shopper saw this other bloke who had manhandled him and looked like
he was about to hit him, so he lashed out, smacking TheBoy several times
in the face. Splitting his lip and blackening his eye.

Now then. After the original telling, a lot of the 'OOF' tribe were saying that the
Shopper was correct, and the two workman deserved all they got.
Soooooo.... that would mean that they believe that Grumpy and TheBoy
deserved all they got, and, in fact, the shopper should have smashed
them up real good.

Judging by what I read on this forum, I don't believe that 'OOF' members would say that.
What we have here is 'Tribalism'. They will stand by a member of their Tribe.

The above is a microcosm of what occurs in macrocosm.
The military foster this attitude, they call it 'Esprit de Corps'. It knits their units
together and makes them a formidable fighting unit.

Politicians and Religious leaders, use this effect to start wars and strengthen
their power base. Just look throughout history. We're pretty stupid for getting
taken in time after time, aren't we?

As said above, I'm not judging or passing comment on anyone here at all.
I just found it interesting that you could find a microcosm in action, at an
'Internet Tribe' (OOF), that perfectly encapsulated the effects normally
seen in macrocosm.

Please take this post in the spirit that it was intended.
It's not a dig at anyone.
