Did anybody else see this tonight??

congo_90 · 13-12-2007 12:36am #1

Coming home on the M50 tonight about 10.20 pm going north bound... just before the blanch exit a nissan micra started to swerve all over the road swinging violently in the fast lane. at one point the back of the car nearly hit the wall!! and a truck in the slow lane!
All motorists copped on to this crazy somewhat idiot driver and backed off.

I was taking the blanch exit but when i last looked the car shot into a space in the slow lane in front of a truck and behind a car. space didn't look too big and the truck had to slow down. I was so shocked at this site i nearly missed my exit.

Anbody else see this idiot? it wouldn't surprise me if they were on the news tomorrow
-another statistic. I'm no brill driver but come on now.

joyriders perhaps?

ArphaRima · 13-12-2007 12:47am

Somebody on drugs. Or having a heart attack. Or both.

Hanson · 13-12-2007 12:49am

Just a plain old idiot.

congo_90 · 13-12-2007 12:51am

i have no idea what to make of them. they passed by me just fine. then when about 50metres or so away they started swerving like crazy. My friend and i didn't know what to make of the car!
the fast lane was clear ahead so not as if there was any hazards ahead

RAFC · 13-12-2007 12:51am

Maybe it was some poor sod who blew out a tyre, had to pull in and is now still sitting there waiting for help...........:D

congo_90 · 13-12-2007 12:53am

well from what i could see they were indicating left... didn't appear a blow out. i though about that but when the car pulled into the left lane it continued to drive normally. some very strange drivers on these roads...

only a matter of time before they crash if they haven't already

Stark · 13-12-2007 12:55am

Nissan Micra? Probably crosswinds

congo_90 · 13-12-2007 12:57am

i would love if the driver was on this and online.. to own up to what would probably have to be the worst drving i have seen in the 7months i have been on the road and i've seen some terrible driving!

Probably at home now laughing at what happened - they don't even realise the damage they could have caused :mad: it drives me crazy

mikemac · 13-12-2007 1:01am

Could be anything tbh.
My first thought was they spilled coffee on their lap.
Hey, it's as likely as any other theory I've seen here

tossy · 13-12-2007 1:02am

it was me - i was driving home in the zone listening to adrian kennedy,in N'anyways i wasn't really paying attention to what i was doing when suddenly i realised i wa in the outside lane and me in a nissan micra-the resulting panic attack caused me to lose control of the car!

Luckily adrian went ot a break and i got it under control - see you on the internet posting up my business???? you need to mind yizzer own business

congo_90 · 13-12-2007 1:04am

haha, can the real driver please own up? lol @ tossy

ciarsd · 13-12-2007 7:44am

congo for someone driving on the motorway you spent more time looking at this car - bloody rubber-necking, should be a points/fine offence in this country, particularly in rush hour.

I know. It's just that he posts here, half-expecting anybody else from boards to be there at the same time and place.

Is he not entitled to ask a simple question?

C_Breeze · 13-12-2007 10:23am

Damn , I missed it by an hours. I was heading that direction an hour after you.

Maybe he was trying to do some crazy arab drifting???!!!

Dan_B · 13-12-2007 10:39am

If somebody tried that in an SUV they would topple over

OP - you say you've been driving 7 months... How did you manage to get your full licence so quickly? I thought there was a big delay...

I am assuming you have your full licence, what with you driving on a motorway and criticising another driver... nearly missing your own exit is a little worrying...

Good point High&Low, I applied for my test last Feb and only did it on a cancellation 2 weeks ago (9 months later).

Oh yeah and I :cool: PASSED :cool:

Maybe they nodded of at the wheel there are a lot of people out there driving fatigued. Which is very dangerous.

God I remember getting an early morning taxi ride to the airport before and the taxi driver kept falling asleep at the wheel. Kept drifting into the hard shoulder.

I don't think I was, to be honest!

Guy:Incognito · 13-12-2007 9:07pm

Jesus lads , 30 replies and no one has pointed out that there no such thing as fast and slow lanes.

you people are slipping. lucky I came home when I did.

@ OP "fast" lane = Overtaking / outside lane, "slow" lane = driving/inside lane.
