I must have missed the announcement that today was National Dickhead Driver Day, but I've seen some fine examples of idiot motoring this morning - so well done to all concerned.
For those of you who don't know, I commute by car from Yeovil to Sunbury three days a week; a journey which normally takes me about two hours. So naturally I've had plenty of opportunity to observe the nation taking enthusiastically to this special day.
The first example this morning happened within five minutes of leaving the house; carved up on a mini-roundabout by a Subaru doing (at a conservative estimate) 50mph in a 30mph zone. Excellent start.
But the award for the day has to go to the driver I witnessed on the A303 at about 07:15 this morning on the single carriageway eastbound just before Chicklade.
I was three cars behind a lorry travelling at (an admittedly frustrating) 50mph. A car five positions behind me decided to overtake the entire queue while going around a blind corner. Sheer genius.
I’m looking forward to the journey home this evening to see if this mornings efforts can be outdone.
