I always get a little jumpy when we're driving and I can see cars changing lanes and they look as though they're going to crash into my side... imagine what I was like when I saw a great big huge lorry heading towards my door  I screamed very loudly and for once it was for a good reason

It's crappy there isn't it
 And getting onto the M2 from the M25 is a bit of a mission now too.

Anyway, even as a non-driver I've observed more than a few pillocks out on the roads recently. Dunno if it's a seasonal thing but I suspect that might be partly responsible. We get them going up and down the road outside the office playing like it's a race track. We also get drunks walking up and down the middle of that road in the early hours (I've seen them). It doesn't take a lot of intelligence to work out that these two situations will eventually prove to be incompatible. |

They did a similar trick on the A42/A511 roundabout up by us recently.
As you come on to the roundabout, all is dandy, next thing you know the inside lane is coned off - no warning, nothing - and people start darting to the outside lane or grinding to a halt in the middle of the roundabout. Bit daft as it's used by loads of HGV's who need to swing wide there as it is.

I went to pick some goods up for work yesterday and was heading towards the M6 roundabout in Nuneaton when I noticed a metro just ahead of me start to move into the next lane, it then moves back suddenly and keeps driving in both of them. There's me hitting the brakes as fast as I can thinking the metro will be written if I'm not careful. Bloody useless drivers, seeing more and more of them lately. I swear they are giving driving licences away on the back of cereal boxes these days
