I live in South Manchester and drive on the M56/M60 quite regularly

In the past I have seen a Black Merc CLK 320 being driven really badly and agresively, It has a registration that pertains to the owners name which is [H4LL L]. I have posted on here ages ago about this bloke and have seen him loads of times since, wouldnt really warrant a mention but I have seen him driving down the Hard Shoulder to avoid traffic !

Funny thing is, other people have told me about this without me mentioning it so he's doing it all the time, one guy has reported him three times to the Police.

Anybody else seen this guy driving on the hard shoulder ?, five people I know have seen him cos it generated a thread on our work intranet.

I remember once being in a traffic jam and a Merc came hurtling down the hard shoulder, one of the trucks in the inside lane pulled over and blocked his way, so he went up the grass embankment. The truck driver just stayed alongside him, so he couldn't get back down again, eventually the Merc driver had to stop when he reached a bridge stantion. I don't know what happened after that, but damn it was fun to watch

Didn't this thread happen about a year ago???

Some people just do not deserve a license, and I seem to come across them every day !!

W***kers the lot of them, and yes i hate the people that use the wrong lane, Grass, or whatever takes there fancy to shave 10 min's of there journey (saxo boy ,

I think i agree normally i would say live and let live, but the merc chap sounds like that is 50/50 if you have the evidence or enough people, get the **** of our roads !!

Yep, Ill put up with quite a lot, he always goes up the outside of the queue in the airport tunnel when most cars (apart from BM's and Mercs that is) are stood waiting, he then pushes in further up.

I see this guy on a reylar basis and he is ALWAYS doing something wrong, the hard shoulder trick is a new one on me though.

Keep your eyes open for him
