Better to travel during daylight hours?

    Juat heard "Is it better to travel during daylight hours?"posed to a so-called "expert" from AA on the news. He gave entirely the rong answer and in a fit of Christmas cheers and general goodwill towards my fellow boardsies I decided to share the correct way to travel over Christmas.

    The correct way to travel is clearly at night, like a ninja. I hope to paint my car with some non-reflective paint in the New Year to lessen the chance of my enemies spying me on my Christmas travels. Lights are obviously a no no and I have carefully nurtured slick tyres as they make less noise, increasing my stealthyness.

    I tend to self-medicate with a patented mixture of alchohol, drugs and non-prescribed substances in order to reach a perfect zen-like state of mind for smooth passaage through time and space.

    I find mirrors are very distracting - one glance at them and an enemy could leap out in front of me, catching me unawares! To this end I have covered them with black non-reflective tape, except one corner where i have written some ninja writing which has magical properties.

    Have you any Christmas driving tips?

    Christmas driving tip: Avoid all advice by Bits n Bobs :-) (especially whatever he is drinking today)

    make sure to take out one headlight bulb and also switch on your rear fog light for extra effect

    Standard anti tailing techniques should be used. Drive at random speeds between 50 and 75kph. You'll soon identify a number of people who are obviously following you home. Play mind games with them - brake HARD for every speed sign with a posted speed in excess of your current speed. Ignore any that are below your current speed.

    In the absence of tinted windows to obscure your valuables, use the re-circ ventilation feature to fog up every window apart from a letterbox space in the windscreen.

    Would this be the same AA Roadwatch that regularly calls the overtaking lanes in the motorways the fast lane?

    So basically that means (for example today) you can drive between sunrise at 8.40am and should be home by 4.10pm? Feels like 'I Am Legend' :pac:

    I completely ignore AA Roadwatch. Most of their 'advice' is either common sense or just plain wrong. Unfortunately those less educated see the brand power of 'AA' and take it all on board.
