So, if anyone remembers, back when that guy borrowed a 911 Turbo and got nicked for doing 170mph+ the Brake spokesmoron referred to "his deadly crime" - odd, considering nobody was injured, let alone killed, how was his crime "deadly":confused:

every since, i've longed to here those words "We have with us tonight ******** from the road safety charity Brake..." because i know they're going to say something monumentally stupid, but i think this time "Lorna Jackson" really has surpassed all previous efforts...

Regarding the woman banned for driving at less than 10mph on the motorway:
Brake's spokesman, Lorna Jackson said, “This case sends out a very strange message to drivers. Mrs Cole was not breaking the speed limit or endangering anyone with her actions, yet she received a seven day ban, when we commonly see drivers caught travelling at 80 or 90mph get away with a fine and three points. While it is not common to encounter someone travelling at 10mph on a motorway, a competent driver should always be looking well ahead and predicting when they need to overtake a slower vehicle."

Stuff wot that wummen sed

This is really idiotic! On the motorway, if you have traffic in front of you you cannot see too far up the road; if you have a truck in front of you, you cant see anything up the road

Then all of a sudden, everyone brakes and swerves to avoid some loony who is scared of driving and even more scared of motorways!!!

Why is she allowed to drive if she is scared of driving?!?!

WHY DID SHE GO ON THE MOTORWAY IF SHE IS SCARED OF THE MOTORWAY?!?!?!?!?!

The other week when I was coming up the M23, there was a guy going slow in the middle lane...40-50 mph in a 70 limit, people didnt see him until the last moment so there where some dodgy under and over taking manouvers; I left a gap for people to pull out. Why was this guy going so slow in the MIDDLE LANE?!

As i checked my mirrors about 20 meters ahead of this car, there was another driver up behind flashing his lights at said car, presumibly to 1) vent his/her anger and 2) tell the bugger to get a move on before he causes a huge accident!
