Driving!

Just literally got home from the 10 hour round trip to Ellesmere Port & back, in order to drop my kids back home to their mums which is always a joy of a journey (not that I'm bitter she moved them that far away meaning I get less time with them)

But because of the length of time I'm on the road it never ceases to amaze me some of the things I see along the varying parts of the drive.

Today's sights included a lorry totalling 2 cars on the M1 one fortunately that was on the other side of carriageway and was already in hand by police. There was a guy on the M6 with his steering wheel resting on his knees whilst adjusting his stereo with one hand and texting with the other, on the M56 there was a van that had about 12 people crammed in it on the way to the Chester City match.

Not enough of a site those things on the way up so what happens when coming home on the M6 2 guys literally having a punch up on hard shoulder where one had rear ended the other, shortly after that appears on the overhead signs saying animals in road take caution, half a mile further along the cause of sign is clear a black Chihuaha is darting between hard should and inside lane whilst being chased by its pink haired lady owner who can't decide whether to chase the little rat that should be on a lead of fan the smoke billowing from her antique ford fiesta.


Other than that a perfectly normal journey!
 
I was going to work a few years ago down the m1, and the dual cab pick up over taking me, doing 80 plus had a driver who had both feet on the dash board, and was reading a book. I thought then that it would never be topped. Still waiting.
 
Not whilst driving but about 10 years ago a few of us were on the way to london and stopped at a services.

There was a quite a flash 4wd parked up in the middle of the car park by itself with a bloke sat in the drivers seat, feet on the dashboard looking very "happy" we all thought something dodgy was going on so we started beeping the car horn.

Next thing a blonde bird pops her head up looking rather flustered gives us a wave while the bloke gives us the thumbs up, then she get's back to her buisness!

This was is in the middle of the day as well.
 
I was on the motorway a few weeks ago and saw someone who looks like Justone being flashed by a gantry camera for speeding like an eejit! :whistle:
 
The most disgusting thing I've seen, whilst travelling on a double decker as a teenager was:

Looking down on a summers evening whilst at traffic lights to see the man driving the open top MX5 with his little soldier out giving it a quick tug! Very very strange why anyone would do that, in a convertible as well!

That's all different kinds of wrong.
 
I have done far too many motorway miles.

I have seen women going down on men whilst the man is driving, women giving men handjobs whilst the man is driving or sometimes whilst the woman is driving.

I have seen a naked man run across the M1.

I wached with humor a policeman running down the M5 chasing a sheep that had escaped from an overturned trailer.

I have seen my fair share of serious accidents as well though (which I wil not get into here).

Oh and I saw someone asleep on the side of the A303 near an army barracks, he was resting against the sign (ok that was me many years ago)
 
Was following a car with lady driver last year, on the A30, so not the most busy road, but she started to wave her hands about all over the place, I thought she was either going mad or giving me a few hand signs.

Anyway as she was all over the road I thought I better pass her and on doing so I saw she was drying her hair with a hair dryer and using her elbows to steer the car.
 
Many years ago when herself was involved with scouting she was taking a group of lads to an event on the south coast in the groups mini-bus... Whilst skirting Heathrow, on the Stanwell Moor Road, she drew alongside a stretch limo with the roof wound back... In the rear compartment were two young ladies in a state of semi undress pleasuring a couple of chaps on the rear seat... Herself thought the mini-bus was going to tipover with the rush of the lads sitting in the nearside seats joining those in the offside to enjoy the display... They then proceeded to cheer the couples on whilst imploring herself to keep alongside so they could continue to take in the view... As herself said part of scouting was teaching the lads about nature!

Aah so it was you tooting at me that day?
 
I've seen quiet a few things while driving long distance around the country.

Saw a chap stop on the inside lane not the hard shoulder to clear the snow from his rear window on the M25.

Following a wagon on the M25 near the M1 junction and I noticed he had a pretty bad brake fire. Called him up on the CB to be told he knew it and he was trying to put it out by not stopping!

Sitting in traffic on the M40 and looked down to see a woman plearuring herself with a battery operated friend while taking her driver in hand.

Parked up near Stoke one evening when I hear a lot of noise outside the cab. I open the curtain to see a young lady being "decorated" by several men. All the noise was coming from her and it certainly wasn't in protest at what was happening!
