Blast down slip road in BMW with total disregard for anyone else because as a BMW driver, you are obviously a more important person.
Enter lane one using a gap between trucks , gain extra points for using a gap only 3 inches longer than your car, once there slow down before hitting the right indicator and diving straight across into lane three.
Plant car firmly in the rear of the parcel delivery Iveco daily van that was going 30mph slower than you were because lanes 2 & 3 was full of tossers like yourself.
Do not look at the truck driver you cut up who has just found out that tena for men would be a good investment at this moment due to uncontrollable laughter.
The most common i experienced whilst driving goes something like this…
Join slip road, slowly build up your speed whilst looking out for LGV’s in lane one. When you spot one, pull up roughly alongside the LGV’s drive axle whilst perfectly matching it’s speed, and apply offside indicator. Sit here until you run out of slip road, brake violently, then continue to join the motorway after this horrible lorry driver has passed. Finally, overtake him/her, and also the lorry that was overtaking him/her, whilst offering several hand signals and mouthing further ignorant driving tips.
I had a variation of this on the A11 one night, the difference was the driver didn’t brake violently, he carried on up the water run-off drain/grass verge for several hundred yards before eventually realising the best plan was to ease off his accelerator for a few seconds, then sheepishly pulling in behind me.
My mate also had another variation, which involved the car driver’s wing getting chewed up on my mates front wheel nuts!
Honestly, the mentality of these people?! Why would any sane person choose to screech to a halt/ run up the verge/ run into someones WHEEL( ) rather than speed up/ slow down slightly??
I’ll never know, i guess that’s why i’m now shunting
A long time ago, in the early hours while waiting on the hard shoulder of a slip road for an ■■■■■■ I observed a car who was obviously using the new version of the highway code that us mere truck drivers dont get too see.
In particular the bit of the new version that states lanes one and two are for use by HGV’s only and all cars must be in lane 3 as soon as humanly possible to avoid the wrath of the lane 1 and 2 users.
So on a near empty motorway this car came trotting down the slip road, moved onto the Right hand side bit of hard shoulder before even meeting the motorway proper , stuck his right hand indicator on and as soon as he hit the end of the embankment moved across the hatched area
into . lane one ,
straight into lane two then into…
Oooooops No lane 3, instead he shot at full pelt into a central reservation gravel trap.
I didnt realise it was possible for a car to stop so suddenly without hitting a wall,

I see this nearly every night. I don’t even look anymore - just wait for the bang. Hasn’t happened YET
Whilst crawling slowly along with all the other rubber neckers, ignore 2 copper umpteen road cones an ATS van with flashing beacons and the Artic who had caused all the chaos with a blow out, and thread your way through the cones to use the slip coned off for safety reasons.
Sit at home and await a knock at the door coz 1 of those coppers had bionic eyesight, he got your number, the look on that drivers face must’ve been priceless
Well i haven’t really got one to better those but i did witness a BMW join the M6 one summers evening, traffic in all 3 lanes, all moving at motorway speed (anything goes!) and this BM comes down a slip road at what seemed to be at least 90mph and straight into lane 3! cool as cuecumber and not a brake light in sight. Nobody appeared to even flinch. How the hell he missed other vehicles i’ll never know.
