Coming back from Manchester at about 4.30pm today, I’m in the middle lane at just over 70 on the clock, overtaking slower vehicles while quicker stuff are passing me. Quite normal I’d say. (I know this place very well & am expecting the usual about ‘you shouldn’t be doing over 70 & so on & so forth)
Checking my mirrors regularly, as I do, I spot a blue vehicle approaching from behind in the inside lane going like stink, now I’ve been driving since 1976 ish & reckon I’m a reasonable ‘estimator’ of other cars speeds but this thing blew me away (literally) I’d estimate it was doing 130mph plus. This was surprising enough until his pal followed suit in the exact (looking) car, both short arse blue BM’s. The race was on between these two & because the traffic wasn’t as dense on there as it often is, they had room for manoeuvre (sp?)
They were all over the place, like weaver birds, one ended up passing vehicles using the hard shoulder then cutting back across the 3 lanes (about 1/4 of a mile ahead was a guy changing a wheel on the HS)
Haven’t seen such a disregard for anyone’s safety on the roads like this since I passed my test. & there’s never a traffic cop when you’d like to see one!
Edit, & guess who got a GoPro for his birthday & guess where it wasn’t today.
