blue ass fly Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Monday morning - M40 approaching stokenchurch cut out, irritated by the mayhem a drop of rain is causing when we all start to brake hard The cause On the other carriageway - in the outside lane - is a foreign plated focus changing his rear wheel Worse still - our wonderful police are behind him with a couple of cones out,helping him On coming cars are swerving into the middle lane and the road is soaking wet As we crept passed in the outer lane i asked a copper if it was ok for me to pull up to check my oil and was told to move on as i was holding up the traffic Is it just me or is it getting worse Why didnt they pull up behind him and tell him to move it - or move it for them Seems to me these foreign drivers do what they like with no consequences Driverless cars - bring it on !

XTR2Turbo Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I have also started to notice an increase in foreign lorries using the hard shoulder as a parking space at busy times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John K Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Hang on... He was stopped in the fast lane..? Isn't that a penalty ticket job. Was it the police or the Wombles that had coned it off. Wombles would be no surprise, but I would have thought the traffic boys would have had the sense to do a temporary stop, push it to the hard shoulder and then let everybody crack on. And then fine the (desperately looking for a word that won't get censored) silly chap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Everall Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Are you sure the car could move??? A flat or blown tyre on the diving wheels makes it almost impossible to move 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
