I wasn't on the A14 today going west so I don't care
It's odd though, whenever I attempt to do something helpful or kind on the road I almost always end up feeling stupid and used and wondering why I bother. Sometimes I think it might be easier to just drive like a complete arsehole like (almost) everyone else here.
As an aside, I've pretty much got used to every other car coming around the bend with their wheels on my side of the road but I'm seeing a new trend now: drivers who just seem to take their foot off the gas and go into a daze for a few seconds. I was behind one today, I think it was a Vectra or something equally dull, in front of that was a Volvo (they get about) and coming back from Zagreb they did it 4 or 5 times. One moment they were right up the Volvo's derrière with their brake lights flashing on and off as they repeatedly approached within a few meters and backed off in an attempt to make the Volvo driver go faster/pull out of the way/drive off a bridge/into a tree, the next moment they slowed right down, no brake lights evident, so I had to slow down too. Then after a few moments they were racing up to pester the Volvo driver again. I couldn't see any reason for this behaviour, no straights coming up that they could have taken advantage of using their extra speed, no police about, no people threatening to use pedestrian crossings. Using a mobile phone? Pointlessly trying to find a radio station not playing mindless garbage? Trying to extract an especially large bogey from their left nostril? Loosing consciousness seems about the most likely. As I say, it's not the first time I have observed this particular behavioural aberration recently but it's definitely a new one.
a slight incline requesting a tiny squeeze of throttle......oh dear......inch by inch we dribbled past TWO lorries.....many cars were behind me in what looked like a train for the road. Time seemed to stand still.
