This week it’s the British traffic edition (the French get their turn next week ;o) )
1. I know that personalised number plates are the sign, perhaps, that one has too much money on one’s hands, but really, you’d think someone might have mentioned to the bloke that had one that, to all intents and purposes, read ‘Perv’, that perhaps he ought to choose a slightly different layout. Of course maybe he was one…
2. I saw a beautiful parking job on the M1, where the car had come neatly to rest in the hard shoulder, perfectly lined up to the carriageway, facing completely the wrong direction. By the looks of the dents on the side, I presume the central reservation had contributed partly to this achievement, although I suspect that the insurance company would have been less impressed all round, what with this being a very high end Bentley…
3. This week’s mysterious instruction sign was ‘Understand your highway code’. I think it must be closely related to the ‘Observe the speed limit’ sign.
4. So you’ve come across MLDA, right? The Middle Lane Drivers’ Association. Well the M1 was suffering from a distinct touch of the OLDAs too, which was more than a tad frustrating, especially when those behind me, who were obviously even more vexed than me, passed them on the inside and they *still* didn’t move over!
5. So, does anyone else ever see those ‘variable speed limit’ signs and instantly think ‘variable traffic jam’? That certainly seemed to be the case on the M25, where you find yourself glaring at the 40 sign, thinking, ‘If only!’
Point 4 and 5, I'm with ya sister.
Our neighbour has a SXY number plate and he is the least attractive man I know (think Frank Spencer and double it!) There should be some system to stop ageing, bald blokes buying misleading car registrations!
Following on (sort of)from what CT says above I have a theory about men's cars and their appendages. The bigger one is the smaller the other!
I would have undertook!!
Don't know about understanding the highway code, I can't remember most of it! Did anyone really remember all those braking distances?!?
Hahahaha! That about sums it up!
Personalised plates are vetted here before they're issued in case they are naughty or suggestive. Lots of them get rejected. It makes for very boring driving …
People who sit in the far right lane doing 20 kmph drive me insane !
I didn't understand half of this one but I did get a good giggle. And believe me, after the last week I need a giggle in the worst way 🙂
My surname is Hussey…. just saying is all 🙂
You need to get out of the car more!
