Benjamin_Nevis Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 One of my favourite pastimes on a long motorway journey is to time a nice slow overtake, preferably a double truck deal at exactly 70, for when i see a German car closing the distance in the right hand mirror way too fast. I've shared enough lifts with beamer driving colleagues to know that the level of seethe in the cockpit behind more than justifies any risk. I like to remember what my driving instructor told me about being able to see the whole front of the overtaken vehicle before pulling back in. Sometimes you can see them raging and shouting. I like that. So, not just me who loves doing this 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can mind my old tomtom going haywire around the Govan underground stop because it was outdated, kept telling me to take exits at roundabouts etc. that weren't there! Think there's all the bus lanes that are strictly for buses only in that area which might have been a recentish change to the road layout. Yes, the area around Govan Subway confuses many people nowadays due to the bus only lanes. There were some bad accidents when it opened at first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a woman in an SLK just a few weeks ago get about ten feet into the lane, realise her mistake, and drive over the pavement to get back to the road. Great entertainment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great entertainment. Indeed. A ten minute stroll around Govan Cross and shopping centre, with its "unique ambience", will always provide something interesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the car behind was on its way to an accident and emergency department as a matter of urgency, would you still love it? Really can’t get my head around that sort of behaviour. What exactly is it about a car travelling faster that would make you want to do that. Let them pass, 5 seconds later they will be out your sight and you will never need to worry yourself about them again. Going out your way to antagonise another person, wether they are breaking the speed limit or not, is strange behaviour. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a fun journey, given my sat nav would say “Off Road” and show me driving through the river, as the Clackmannanshire Bridge was not yet on the map, on the way to a house that the Sat Nav claimed didn’t exist, despite being over 100 years old. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s some talent you have to be able to tell the purpose of any given cars journey just by the model. And the ‘BMW drivers have small penis’ patter is inaccurate.
