While at a barbecue over the weekend, we met this rather sozzled, pompous man who proudly told everyone how he remained in the middle lane of the motorway if his speedometer told him he was travelling at 70mph. He complained of how much abuse he received from drivers behind him. I told him that he was actually travelling at about 65mph and it was no wonder he received so much abuse from drivers stuck behind him. After he had consumed more wine and food he told me I was talking rubbish and speedometers had to be accurate by law. I was staggered by the stupidity and ignorance of this man. I know the government has plans to fine middle lane hoggers and tailgaters. Maybe they should try to educate idiots like the man at the barbecue? By the way, the man’s wife would only drive her drunken husband home if he sat in the back seat. Obviously she was fed up with him as well.
