Drove to Peterborough and back today...saw a whole load of stupid stuff, dont get me wrong I make mistakes, but they are errors, not stupid driving.
Hit a sudden downpour around 7pm on the way back, everyone slows down on the motorway, sensible, as soon as the rain passes people speed right back up again to 90 odd mph...rain landing on your car doesn't cause accidents, water on the road does and it doesn't just vanish the second the rain stops
Its also strongly advised in the highway code that if you are driving a lorry, which is speed limited, that if you wish to overtake another lorry that is going 0.00001mph slower than you, that you do it just as you approach a steep incline so that you occupy two out of three lanes for as long as possible and in some cases appear to go backwards.
BMWs have right of way on the outside lane of any motorway.
Driving three feet away from the car in front at 70mph in the rain is perfectly fine if you are in a van or people carrier because 'you are seated higher up and can see more' as your vehicle at 70mph has a stopping distance of just under three feet.
When motorbikes overtake on normal roads, its up to the car on the opposite side to move out of the way of the motorbike driving at it on the wrong side of the road.
