Cars
"Here in my car", said 80s pop hero Gary Numan, "I feel safest of all". He obviously never shared the same stretch of road as me, then. Automotive tales of mirth and woe, please.

hitchhikers guide to the m20
My Dad used to hitchhike down to London from Leeds a lot whilst he was at university to attend gigs because it was the 60s and noone had told them yet that there was a 100% chance of death by paeodophile if you spoke to or accepted a lift from a stranger.
He used to start off hitchhiking with his mate Big Albert but they'd ussually split up because it was easier to catch a ride like that. If this happened they'd meet up at a certain pub in London and one of them would have to wait however long for the other to turn up.
Apparently one time when they did this their journeys were so evenly timed that they could order their first pints together at the bar. I think that's pretty impressive considering I cant time my trips to the local that well even though it's 5 minutes walk and I have a mobile phone.
