Did anyone have an interesting drive home from work, yesterday? I did. Everything fine for the first couple of miles, dry day, sun shining, hardly any traffic, then it got interesting. I arrived at the back of a queue of about 6 cars doing 30 mph on a straight road. I thought it was a tractor/heavy lorry causing it, but it wasn't. A young lady in a Fiesta was speeding up to 30mph on the straights, gently weaving about, and braking to about 25mph when the road was anything less than arrow straight. I applied the oh no, one of those, rules and dropped back to a safe distance. The interesting part was watching the 3/4 cars tailgating each other and her. I bet they have increased the tyre and brake manufacturers profits no end. The only problem I hade was keeping the prat behind out of my boot!

P.S. To the young lady concerned:-
I hope your breasts are not too badly bruised by the steering wheel, They must have been rubbing on it to enable you to get your head so close to the windscreen. If you sat back a bit, it would save personal injury and you could have seen the mayhem behind you in your mirrors.
