    Coming home on the M50 tonight about 10.20 pm going north bound... just before the blanch exit a nissan micra started to swerve all over the road swinging violently in the fast lane. at one point the back of the car nearly hit the wall!! and a truck in the slow lane!
    All motorists copped on to this crazy somewhat idiot driver and backed off.

    I was taking the blanch exit but when i last looked the car shot into a space in the slow lane in front of a truck and behind a car. space didn't look too big and the truck had to slow down. I was so shocked at this site i nearly missed my exit.

    Anbody else see this idiot? it wouldn't surprise me if they were on the news tomorrow
    -another statistic. I'm no brill driver but come on now.

    i have no idea what to make of them. they passed by me just fine. then when about 50metres or so away they started swerving like crazy. My friend and i didn't know what to make of the car!
    the fast lane was clear ahead so not as if there was any hazards ahead

    well from what i could see they were indicating left... didn't appear a blow out. i though about that but when the car pulled into the left lane it continued to drive normally. some very strange drivers on these roads...

    only a matter of time before they crash if they haven't already

    Could be anything tbh.
    My first thought was they spilled coffee on their lap.
    Hey, it's as likely as any other theory I've seen here

    congo for someone driving on the motorway you spent more time looking at this car - bloody rubber-necking, should be a points/fine offence in this country, particularly in rush hour.

    N4 at the Spa hotel westbound on tuesday evening - Prime Example.

    I know. It's just that he posts here, half-expecting anybody else from boards to be there at the same time and place.

    OP - you say you've been driving 7 months... How did you manage to get your full licence so quickly? I thought there was a big delay...

    I am assuming you have your full licence, what with you driving on a motorway and criticising another driver... nearly missing your own exit is a little worrying...

    Good point High&Low, I applied for my test last Feb and only did it on a cancellation 2 weeks ago (9 months later).

    Oh yeah and I :cool: PASSED :cool:

    Maybe they nodded of at the wheel there are a lot of people out there driving fatigued. Which is very dangerous.

    God I remember getting an early morning taxi ride to the airport before and the taxi driver kept falling asleep at the wheel. Kept drifting into the hard shoulder.

    Jesus lads , 30 replies and no one has pointed out that there no such thing as fast and slow lanes.

    you people are slipping. lucky I came home when I did. :)

    @ OP "fast" lane = Overtaking / outside lane, "slow" lane = driving/inside lane.
