I've covered best part of 800 miles the last 2 weekends, following Rangers to Workington and South Shields so have witnessed numerous incidents of stupidity and downright dangerous driving. I try to steer clear of generalising on car makes and types but what was apparent on these trips, was drivers of small cars, and their behaviour. 107 and the like, seem to have a lot of space room around them, as they don't fit a motorway line, so they seem to weave side to side while looking ahead. Also the choice of younger drivers who seemed to be having animated chats with friends and taking their eyes off the road!
I'm also really not surprised at the number of accidents that shut the motorway, in our locality, when people have so little discipline, or judgement of distance, in narrow lanes while work goes on. We really don't value life and would rather do somebody out of being there two cars earlier!
The m6 yesterday. First a women in a BMW estate literally weaving across the lanes from the inside to the outside to the middle to the outside and back to the inside purely based on the lane she could go fastest in. Flew up the inside lane undercutting the middle lane morons who should have been in that lane, only to carve straight across to the outside lane as that became the one moving fastest, then to the middle lane to undercut the outside lane traffic and this all with a kid in the car. Madness!!
Few miles further north and I moved from the outside lane in to the middle lane. As I looked to move to the inside lane I checked my wing mirror only to be met by a blue car doing at least 100 mph judging by how fast he undercut everyone else on the motorway. He then also proceeded to weave through the traffic still at stupidly fast speeds and with absolutely no lane discipline whatsoever. At those speeds him own and the death of others is quite imminent I fear. Scary stuff and its this that the police should be focusing on imo, not people driving well but afew mph over the limit.
