I have travelled the M1 in the UK a few times, traffic can be hectic on it at the best of times.

Contary to popular belief, some of the driving I saw was fairly atrocious.

at least the fúckers only took themselves out..

140mph in the wet in the middle of the night on a public road? I'm finding it hard to have any sympathy here.

I HATE driving on the M1 for the very same reason.

Unusual to see this muppetry as far south as Watford though. I usually meet the fukcwits at Birmingham and all points north...

Thank God no-one else was hurt or killed. They only took themselves out. Pity they didn't finish the job!

There are places in Europe where this is done legally.

Maybe to drive at 140mph. But I doubt they still allow irresponsible driving.

Luckily I don't use the M1 to get to work, I go into London from the other side.... similar idiots early morning 2am to 5am over there too.

Coming from Pakistan or Bangladesh they are almost certainly Muslim and so would not have been out of their heads on drink or drugs. It was just pure stupidity.

So bloody what? Idiots come from EVERY community!

And don't believe the hype about Muslims being non-drinkers, and not into drugs. A lot of the younger (Westernised) generation do just that.

Ach the report doesn't say which car crashed, so no conclusive answer to 7 Series -v- 5-Series shootout.

Among the 9 muslims I work with, only one drinks and he is 4th generation of his family in the UK. He says he never drank until he married and moved into his own place, his dad would have killed him (literally) if he was drunk or otherwise out of his head.

Yes a major contributing factor! :rolleyes:

If it was the 80's and the line read "the men were from an Irish background" that poster would be the first to ring Joe-mo Duffy in tears!

not much skill in straight line speed in fairness, would mainly depend on power to weight ratio of the cars in question...

Yes, I know. See my earlier comment. No Muslim lady I know drinks, Westernised or not. But I know a hell of a lot of the younger generation (male) who do...

BigEejit

Ah now .... is this a situation where you tell me that every muslim you know drinks .... and then I ask where do you know them from and you say "the pub"

:P

Not saying they dont all drink, but half the lads i know are in their 20's and dont drink

Natural selection?

Actually while we are going a bit off topic ....


One time we had a guy over from israel (who was a fairly religious jew) and he was at our workplace for a couple of weeks. We were on shift and so Sunday morning we all got the fry up, rashers sausages black pudding the lot ....
The guy turns up and sits at the table eating porridge looking at us eating the fry up. Next he stood up and walked off with the porridge half eaten and we thought he had freaked out about us eating bits of pigs.
After a couple of minutes he arrived back with a rasher and a sausage and after a bit of nibbling he scoffed them and took off again and came back with the biggest fry up I have ever seen, must have been 10 rashers on the plate along with everything else. Basically he never had anything from pigs before and couldnt resist.

I knew it has nothing to do with the conversation, always pops into my head when i think of religions banning stuff

The Dailymail has better shot of the results of the crash.

Pretty shocking.

Hard to believe anyone walked out of those two cars alive, if it weren't for the alloys it's hard to even make out they're BMW's :eek:

Friend of mine, a Moslem was telling me about the rules. If there is no halal food available a Moslem can eat whatever is available. He enjoyed a bacon sandwich at car auctions.

I think that only applies in an emergency!
