Speeders and lunatics

M6.. Two motorbike drvers decide that slow traffic isn't for them and travel down the hard shoulders at speeds exceeding 100mph.

However, something that was known to us and not them was that a Police car had done that same route not more than 5 minutes early and here is that result.

I sat next to there booking for about 10 minutes due to the accident. Long enough to see a recovery vehicle come to collect their motorbikes.

Basically, they'd either already got points on their licence and now hadn't got a valid one OR the police officers had decided to go for broke and give them the whole 9 yards.

Result, two motorbike riders without a ride, just north of Birmingham on a Friday afternoon.

Incidentally, picture was taken not by onboard camera (on sat nav) but by camera phone as we were totally stationary for 10 minutes+. So much so that some people were getting out of their cars to stretch their legs.

Diesel Black Vauxhall Vectra MY57 WJY. Joined the M1 Northbound around Leicester and swerved his way into the far right overtaking lane. Then proceeded to tailgate and force everybody out of his way. The driver was a white male, in his mid-thirties.

The picture was taken by the Sat Nav, incidentally. So I wasn't driving HANDS FREE

Speeds exceeded 100mph (easily) and he changed lanes regardless of who was in his way.

This enraged me so much that I reported him to the Police, only to be informed that an unmarked Police car was in behind him and could I please move over. The red BMW M5 slipped past with a nod from the passenger.

I presume he got multiple points or perhaps a ban for travelling over 100mph, dangerous driving and driving without due car or attention (he had a paper on his wheel at one point!).

UNDERTAKERS!

M1 Northbound, BMW X5 SKY 480. Swerved in front of me on at least three occasions before stationary traffic meant I could get this shot. Clearly this is an individual who just doesn't like to be overtaken. They would slow down to a crawl, I would overtake at 70mph and then just as I started to pass they would either speed up or just swerve out in front of me to overtake the invisible car in his lane.

I don't know what annoys me most. People who undertake, therefore not allowing you to move into the lane and let them pass! Or people who speed up when you try to pass them.

It's a tricky one.

I'm going for people who speed up. Because it's PATHETIC!
