I joined the by-pass at the Tesco Yeading roundabout this morning and stuck to 50mph. No-one overtook/undertook me, no speeding multiple lane changing idiots and it was a very pleasant experience. When I got to the 40mph section everyone slowed down and held their lanes correctly. No jostling for position going under the M4. Wonder if the Plod BMW I was following had any influence?

I don't understand the usual 'racers'. Especially as they are more than likely going to work = what's the rush ? I usually have a play and if I see one zooming up the inside lane, and the conditions are right, I speed up a little so they end up behind the inside lane slower moving vehicle. Under these circumstances the ones behind usually bunch up and prevent these idiots pulling out  It's been quite a while now since anything comical happened. The last one was on the M4, westbound. I tend to stick at 60mph going to work as it's very fuel efficient and relaxing. I was sat in the inside lane in a sort of convoy doing 60 and Mr Mondeo must have thought I was about to peel off down the Heathrow spur. I assume his intention was to do the same but whilst I take the sliproad inside lane he would take the outside lane and speed down to the roundabout - - - wrong, I am going straight on to the M25. he had nowhere to go and couldn't brake as he had a few quite close behind him so I took him down to the M25 as well All he had to do was get into the inside lane a bit earlier where there was a suitable gap but as quite a few do, they speed all the way down to the front of the convoy and then cut in (or try to).

... or me I've been doing the same journey for about 15 years now and it helps to know your 'road'. There are a few pinch points where I scan the mirrors repeatedly for these muppets. When I approach the Yeading roundabout, Northbound, where I turn right towards Tesco and I'm in the correct outside lane, I'm always on the lookout for those who think they can turn right from the centre lane. I reckon I've got a 99% success rate in keeping them on the inside, just behind, so they have to brake and pull in behind or drive up the kerb. I reckon at least once a week. |
