Timewaster Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Just a note on John Peels autobiography. I wouldn't bother, I bought it years ago. He died before he got by about chapter 3 and the rest of it is written by his missus. Well written but not what I wanted from an autobiography.

Documented in his post-humous autobiography. He mentioned his time at private school on Grumpy Old Men too I think, or something like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the last couple of chapters was written by her. And the sort of autobiography I like to send to my parents for Christmas. Since the 60s appear to have passed them by.

Crackers Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Sitting in the back of my mate's 1 Series yesterday when he exclaims "Fucking hell he's going for it!". Turn around in my seat and see a Royal Mail DAF Artic absolutely caning it along behind us, taking roundabouts at car speed and hooning about at 56mph like his last name was McRae! Epic fun!

That the general public are too confused by smart motorways is confusing me. How can anyone be confused. There's no hard shoulder. So if you are in lane 1 you should be ultra vigilant just in case.

It's hours of nothing happening driving on a motorway so regardless of smart motorway or not people just aren't expecting stationary vehicles in a live lane, at a recent inquest into a death on the M6 the coroner asked the highways agency why technology wasn't used to detect stationary vehicles, their response was we're looking at it, but so far all they have is police, the public and somebody watching CCTV to spot them which must be the most boring job on earth Plus there's the moron factor to consider Timewaster and myglaren 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
