An observation of people's behaviour
I had a van this weekend, as my car's off the road, and had a gig in Liverpool. Now, when I'm driving my car, and I overtake someone on the motorway, that's pretty much it.

But in the van, people in cars seemed to automatically speed up as I was overtaking them. Then sometimes they'd overtake me again, pull in front and slow down. All the time, I'd kept a constant speed. WTF?

Does it make your willy smaller if you're overtake by a van? Seems that some people think so.

Edit - TGB, no glue this weekend. I hadn't heard that myth though. Maybe that's why I enjoy sneezing so much...

It's probably because
people see vans as big, heavy and slow-moving. If you're over-taking them they'd suddenly think, 'I'm obviously not going fast enough. Carruthers! We need more kittens in the furnace immediately.'

Yeah, but
this was a Renault Kangoo, not a Luton.

I was minding my own business, doing about 70mph in it. It's not like I was fannying about, nor haring on like a delivery man in a Merc Sprinter.

See, that's your problem right there.
Everybody knows that the real speed limit is 90.

Unless there are police or speed cameras around.

Out of interest
Was it mostly in England this happened, or Scotland too?

I find English drivers to be worse for this kind of thing generally.

Mostly on the M6
in England. But it happened on the M74 and M80 too.

I was up near Glasgow recently
and driving along the M8 there's a junction for the A8, which is written like text speak 'A8 M8' (say it to yourself in a mockney accent), so whenever we went passed it I said to myself, 'Yes I am, thank you very much for asking'.
