It's not just me, is it?

[Plotloss]

So there you are, on the motorway, at natural cruising speed of perhaps a bit over the posted limit but south of ban territory - standard median pace on our motorway network.

Boring isnt it?

So I bet my bile duct that at least one other person out there on PH has resorted to the odd motorway 'game'

Two to start with:

1) The 'changing lane without hitting the catseyes' game: A solid favourite this, simply change lane in the prescribed manner but without the 'thump thump' of catseye/tyre interface.

2) The 'wingman' game. You're trudging along, traffic fairly light, not gunning it. All of a sudden a car passes clipping along, probably North of 100mph, do you just let him go or do you give him about half a mile and then accelerate to his speed considering that if there is a cop/scamera van with a gun they'll get him first and the brake lights will alert you to the dangers thus allowing you to travel quickly a bit freer from opression.

Its not just me is it? Come on, share the love. Any more for any more?

[PhantomHumper]

Unfortunately none to add but I like the second one

[sa_20v]

Why not do us a favour and try the 'drive the wrong way' game?

[barney123]

What about trying to spot which 'knob' is going to switch to the left hand lane on the exit slip and proceed to circum-navigate the roundabout on the outside to turn right and look surprised when everyone gives him the bird.

I do 1), never thought of 2).

I was wondering at the weekend if MLM Laps needs a formal rule book. I managed 3 laps of one MLM, but it was quite heavy traffic and I don't think they noticed.

I also make up words as anagrams of registration numbers. Bit sad this one, you have to use a bit of license on the numbers / letters - 1 is I or L, 4 is A, 3 is E, 5 is S, after that you have more flexibility, 8 can be E or O, for example. Private plates don't need anagrams, they always say the same thing to me

55,000 odd posts mate. WTF do you do?

[ali_kat]

No, not just you

I don't do the 2nd one (car fails ) But I always try to pull chnage lanes without hitting the any cats eyes.

[randlemarcus]

Absolutely, Plotters.

I usually refer to the other Game 2 participant as a Goat, after tethered goats, and this one can continue on non-packed motorways for some considerable distance. Which is sad itself, as if I notice a tailing car of any description, I usually come back to legality until I get a positive ID.

Only if you tell me exactly where you're going to be when I attempt it.

Just so I can be absolutely sure of lowering the cock quotient.

My onle motorway game is spotting pretty girls usually driving french hatchbacks ha!

[phil1979]

For fear of being called a racist, I will choose my words carefully.

A good game to play is "Guess the driver's ancestry", based on their choice of steed.

It only really works when you have a passenger, so that you can play a competitive money game.

I've won several quid on the back of silver Nissans with 10+ occupants.

I put 633 squadron on the radio and hunt Audis, BMWs, and Mercs and shoot them down mercilessly
A nice Dakadakadaka after a swooping lane change from the bomber formation of lane 2 can be quite satisfying

A particularly hard game on the North Circular...

You'll manage that on your own - you don't need my help. Anyway, with all your posts, how do you find time to drive - I sometimes wonder whether you're actually a basic automated bot cooked up in Ted's lair.

Its not related to cars specifically.

Truckies could be playing the advanced version of the cats eye game and I suspect the odd biker or two has played the wingman game.

...its on a par with that warm feeling you get when youve just got back into the swimming pool after nipping out for a pee...


but not quite the same as the one you get when you couldnt be bothered to get out in the first place
