At the moment, I have for the pleasure of my wifes 306 to drive every day. The problem with small cars is that I tend to drive them like a tit because they fly around corners. The only points that I've ever had from driving a car was because I was in a Ford Ka

.
Anyway, last night, I had to get home for 7pm to look after the kids as the wife was going out, but I had to fill up with Diesel first, so I popped in to Tesco by the Richo Stadium in Coventry and zipped back out again.
On the way to the M6, which isn't far, I was doing about 60mph in a 50 zone

and I thought that I was being raced by a hot hatch, so I didn't slow much for the approaching island. The car next to me turned out to be an unmarked plod-car. I was very embarrased because I really don't drive like that in the Meega. I was let off with a warning to slow down...thankfully.
Then this morning, on the M42, a car had crashed due to aquaplaning (I am guessing) in EXACTLY the same place where I nearly crashed because of aquaplaning 6 months ago...I was lucky and didn't crash. When I passed the crashed car at about 30mph, I was virtually floating down the motorway. Lots of surface water.
Finally, after leaving the gym, on the way to work, I was going down the sliproad from the A45 on to the A46 at about 60mph (70mph zone) when the car I was slipping-in behind decided that he wanted to slow down in a hurry. But guess what...no brake lights. I nearly ploughed in to the back of him at 60mph. To be honest, I still don't know how I missed him.
So, after these three incidents, I have decided to go home tonight at a VERY sedate pace.
Keep safe everyone
