Red Mist in the Morning...

 ...Global Warming.

Red sky at night...

...shepherd's hut is on fire.

I wish my dashcam could have done justice to the sky yesterday morning.

It was very red.  Didn't hear any stories of shepherds in peril though.

But that's not really what this post is about.

Just over a month ago, I posted about poor driving, particularly by white van men on my morning commute.

Had two of them yesterday morning - middle-lane hogging white vans.

But when I reviewed my footage, I could only find one - this one:

Then I realised I was reviewing Thursday's drive in.

These two were from yesterday:

White van in the morning...

...congestion on the M53 warning.

Breakfast Time Bad Driving

They were all out this morning.  Several were driving white vans.  I caught a lot on my dash-cam.

To start with, I had someone decide that he was coming off at Junction 3.

Nothing wrong with coming off at Junction 3 - I've done it myself on many occasions - it's handy for The Asda, And Tranmere Rovers.

But this guy was in the outside lane when he decided it and had to cut in front of two other lanes of traffic - one of which included me.  I didn't bother including the footage because, rather annoyingly, it looks less dramatic when you  play it back.

Or maybe I'm just a drama queen.

But then look at this other twerp joining at the same junction:

This morning saw the usual collection of tailgaters and middle-lane hogs.

But this lane hogger in particular annoyed me because, not only was he driving a white van, he didn't have his lights on.

Then you get the white van man who does have his lights on but doesn't use the handy orange flashing ones that give other drivers a clue as to your intentions.  It's a good job BMW don't make white vans.

But that wasn't his worst crime.  Note that the other two white van drivers knew which lane they needed to be in and how to position yourself going around a roundabout.

Maybe he was late for his breakfast.

The Undertakers

 This is one of several versions of my favourite anti-drink-drive adverts:

The caption is usually something like, "Who is going to drive you home tonight?"

Most excellent.

This morning, my dash-cam caught a couple of candidates for the undertakers undertaking undertaking manoeuvres.

The first one is an impatient van driver who doesn't appreciate driving at 25mph in the 20mph zone I highlighted the other week.

I have no sympathy for him - he is a tosser.

The second one though, I may have to admit doing myself - I hate middle-lane hogs.

And will someone please remind me to shift that flyer from my dashboard?
