Drunken Bungle Whore

I have a long commute - and most days I have a reasonable enough time - no major incidents - but on some days (today!) it's as if everyone else has had crazy juice on thier cornflakes.

It's not related to the weather, or the day of the week, but some days there are just so many more wnakers on the roads than others.

Any suggestions.....?

It's no excuse but...they're late for something...work most likely

But all on the same day....? And if that is the reason - then I'm very impressed by the Great British Work etihic!

I've noticed it on extremes of weather - when it's raining like today people seem to have tunnel vision, and when it's hot and sunny people see in a mad rusk to get everywhere.
Just set of earlier and chill people!

maybe most days you ignore the madness that is always going on about you

As in, most days you have tunnel vision

If your running late, say you have to be at work at 9am and your on the road at 8:30 the chances are alot of others on the road are late. If your on the road early everyone has bags of time and are a little more considerate

Fair enough, but I commute between 6:45am and 7:45am.....

I generally do pretty well and ignore the nutters - but I get fed up with idiots driving 4 ft from my back bumper - or diving in front of me for no good reason, when it's steaming down with rain.

If you want to kill youself, please be my guest, just don't take me with you!

go a bit quicker then

I don't care if they overtake me - I wish they would - but driving as if they have an imaginary snow-plough on the front which is somehow going to make me go faster.....

The fun part is watching them getting more & more p1ssed off with me going at the speed the variable speed limit advise - especially when their patience gives out and they go steaming past, right under the gantry that actually has the cameras on it.

try to practice left foot braking and see how quickly they give you plenty of room DBW

Works everytime 100% never fails, you cant bend it.

Driving like you're pissed is just as effective at getting tail-gaters to back off .
