It amazes me how fast some people are driving in the motorway scenes!  :

What's the problem, I was doing 120 this morning .....


Kilometers per hour, that is.

The M3 was, however, dry and clear of snow/slush/ice etc - as was the M25, although that had a 60 limit posted. It did amuse me how many people wanted to fly around the (50-limited) slip road at >50 and then thought better of it when they realised the 'outside' lane was less than clear..

Still 75 miles per hour then Aaron!


However, I remember going everywhere at very high speed on business, and when the road was very clear, at extremely high speeds!!

I am ashamed to say though that once in the late 1980s I broke all my own rules for high speed driving, especially in bad weather conditions    The snow was thick all round, but most of the M4 from Bristol to London (Woking) was relatively clear with two lanes open, but I was late leaving Bristol for a meeting in Woking; did the whole journey in just over 1 hour; i.e. the average speed came out at about 110 mph!  It was absolute lunacy , but I got away with it amazingly!  .........and no I was still 10 minutes late for the meeting..............but I was one of the fiirst to get there!!  Taught me a lesson or two!!

~74mph, yep.. but as I say - clear, no snow, no ice and no water, and plenty of grip on the cleared roads (I gave that a good test on the Bagshot road down to the M3)

I was far from the fastest thing on the motorway, mind.. plenty of white vans going past me in the outside lane

The lorry crash looked nasty speed seemed to be behind most of the accidents- idiots!

Why jump out of a moving car?? You run the risk of running yourself over and a wet arse 

Much safer sitting in the car

Better late in this world, than early in the next.  There's no prize for being 1st passed the Pearly Gates finish line.

Very true.. and believe me, I drive to the conditions Cruised home down the back roads tonight and didn't spin the wheels or slip braking once; not even when two pillocks decided that indicating on a roundabout (to give me some hint that you're going to swing across in front of me!) was not necessary.. (One was driving a BMW so that's no great surprise, I suppose..)

[edit] Actually that's a lie, when I got to my road I did have a little play to see just how much grip there was for the Go pedal. Quite a lot, actually, on the still snowy road here.
