Mmm, I must have just missed out then somehow :?

Mrs Welly once forgot to do the address change on her license (which was my fault apparently) and following the worlds most minor accident she got a producer and later a letter from the Chief %$&? [spelling?] saying he'd decided not to prosecute her for the licence 'offence' :o (this, close-to but not actual problem was, again, my fault).

My other half had something similar here, she'd forgot to change here when she moved 3 years before. The jumped-up arsehole in the cop shop (just there, not a real copper (he was once but got sacked)) threatened to have her arrested. She hasn't driven a car on the road in 25 years. He likes doing things like that though, he has a reputation for being a tin-pot Hitler jobsworth so I'm surprised no-one's waited for him to go home and given him a talking-to.

I nearly rear-ended someone on the M6 about 5am this morning... Following someone at indicated 80 (so about 72-73mph), spotted a copper parked in a lay-by, pointed it out to a passenger, and didn't realise the muppet in front had done an ABS anchors-on :roll:

Thankfully we were in lane 2 so I just swerved into lane 3, but christ... Woke me up enough to get back home safely :oops: :lol:

This morning, I had some old bag in a 307cc following me about 5 inches away from my back bumper. I braked gently and waved her to fall back a bit - she didn't even seem to notice. So I braked harder this time and waved at her again, with a slightly less appropriate hand gesture, but still she was sitting on my arse. I soooo wanted to step on the brakes so that she'd smash her head on the windscreen but my head took over here.

As she was turning onto the motorway roundabout (going M5 south, me - north), she got within cm's and nearly clipped the back bumper. So, I swerved away from her and went horns all blaring with more rude finger gestures and she just didn't seem to notice me!!

Is she deaf, blind, stupid, reckless or what?? :evil: :evil: :evil:

You know last week on my way home from work I was still in 'chilled out holiday mode' and decided I'd waft home nice and steady.......there was an old boy with his old wife behind me in a P reg escort and I thought it would be kinda fun to turn tables on them and drive more slowly myself (I was doing about 43 in a 60) anyhoo the first stretch of straight road comes up and the old guy whips past me :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :oops:

A couple of nights ago I was with my bro who was driving his UK registered Zafira down the high road here. As he doesn't know the roads too well he was keeping to the speed limit and there was some pillock behind him getting closer and closer and revving his engine and I could hear his turbo spinning up. Eventually we turned off and the retard screamed past behind us. It was a 406 :shock: :roll:
