Driving Standards

[Bender]

Most deranged I've seen was a few years back where the A1M splits just north of Washington services. I was heading towards the Team Valley in lane 3 when a few hundred yards in front of me a car slammed on its brakes and started reversing up lane 3 for about 50 yards so he could take the road to the Tyne tunnel! This was in peak morning traffic and caused chaos. Car's plates? Irish.

 

I could understand if he was trying to avoid Gateshead

Campervans in tourist season regularly exhibit the worst driving standards. Hogging space on roads, doing 35 in a 60, not allowing overtaking/pulling in, not paying attention, generally bizarre behaviour.

On the other hand I find folk towing caravans pretty sensible and aware of other road users and tend to drive well and pull in to let folk past if there's a build-up behind them.
