Todays lesson, the car in front doesn't use mirrors or indication it just pulls into the safe gap you have left, the car in front will drive so close to the other cars bumper the drivers brake light will flash every second. When looking ahead you notice a car braking quite a way in the distance, all the other cars behind following are doing the same, this is a sign you need to slow down, don't worry about those whizzing past you on the inside, they're looking at the car in front of themselves or they may winning the imaginary race between them and other drivers.
When looking in your rear view mirror you may notice a car behind you weaving in and out of traffic trying to win the race, this car may stop behind you and travel extremely close, upon overtaking you may notice their massive muscle structure (Not)! and sleeve tattoo, just ignore the terrified woman and child travelling with this fine example of alpha male-dom.
You may notice the variable message boards to your left or maybe not when driving in a group of high sided vehicles, yes the board does say slow down animals in the road but that was yesterday, the person controlling this particular board is currently eating a sausage roll whilst posting how hard working they are on social media.
Finally last but not least, try not to be confused by the miles and miles of cones, with signs telling you of improvements, yes these improvement to this same stretch of road have been ongoing since 1912. Yes there are very few men, yes those yellow things are cameras that track your speed, no don't presume they're not working because daves brothers mums uncle spoke to an-other over a pint "Not on them mate".
PS, don't become angry at the fact highways will allow you and tens of thousands of other drivers to join the massive q for hrs on end, despite learning of an incident at 10am this morning, yes it is 4pm and no they haven't figured out any other strategy other than turning the 4 lane smart (Snigger) road into a giant carpark.
PPS, when using the many service stations you must place your feet in a ten to two positon and walk like you own the path, don't hold any doors open and barge past as many women, children and patrons as you can, the race to the toilet is important.
Just some observations/tips for new learners from my experience of the mway network. |
