So i was driving down the M40 yesterday Afternoon, when all of a sudden a Vauxhall Zafira flies down lane 3 and cuts straight across with no indicator signals straight across to the hard shoulder… i presumed it was some sort of emergency and as all ways (if i can) I pulled out into lane 2 to give them space. Next minute this rather small Islamic male gets out with a folded up prayer mat, and lays it right in front of his car, and starts to speak to his god…
I literally was speechless… is this normal? I highly f’ing doubt it!
Getting on a serious note, this is very dangerous. I was being blown all around the place and 100% could of murdered the guy if i didnt pull out to the middle lane.
Quick question to you lads out there… would you have phoned the police? 999 or 111.
I made a questionable decision and phoned 111, better to be on the safe side.
It wouldn’t surprise me either way if they came or not, at least if i here someones been hit by a fast moving vehicle i know i tried… even though he would deserve it
Big Roy:
you saw an awful lot in the second it took you to pass this incident
He was quite far ahead, but honestly it didnt take him long to get out with his Mat.
Also I was doing 50 anyway as very windy around here yesterday… just like today

That Prayer i suggest anywhy by such driving stile
I used to have a similar thing happen quite often but it was on a ship I was skipper of, the chief officer was a muslim (and a prick btw!) he used to come to the bridge when underway to see our compass heading so he knew which way to position his prayer mat, I would wait until he had gone below then alter course !!
He once or twice brought his much younger wife for a short trip but he would not let her be in the same area as me and not allowed to speak to me either, pity really as for what I could see of her she appeared quite tasty (and Yes I would have given the opportunity)
There was a story about a bus driver who just stopped and did his praying thing zb the passegers.Zafiras dont burst into flames very often ,they only do it once.
I had to look twice today when i saw a police car pulling over a tractor and trailer which was dawdling along at 20mph, thing is i was on the A1M at wetherby at the time

This was the ship, only a wee one and 5 crew, I was the only Brit on her … so we all had to work together and when you had one who thought he was superior to everyone else it sort of threw a spanner in the works !
