Driving home last night westbound on M4 during the rush hour and what do we find? No its not a rolling road block it's an a*se towing a so**ing caravan at 50 m.p.h. With a Y reg (no the other end stupid!) Citroen. Glasses, check shirt the full plonker. As the heap of plywood and fibreglass and tawdry kitchen utensils takes up the same amount of road as a lorry, then make them pay the same road tax, I say - then there would be less of the silly sods....

I think that all caravans,trucks, and the over 60's should be forced to drive between the hours of 11pm and 6am. Jim

Being an owner of bikes as well as a chimp etc, this has focused a realisation. I used to suffer the dreaded Volvo but now thinking about it I have had an increase in 'situations' from Audi clots ????? is this just me or the roads I frequent??. Additionally lorry convoys always on the left lane, which obscures the line of site to road signs rendering there information delivery useless. So two for the hate list.

1. Trucks overtaking each other at 1mph difference on dual carriageways, thereby clogging everything up. And just when you think you can get going again, the truck 1/2 a mile in front sees the gap created by the first overtaking truck and pulls out for his go !! 2. Horses on roads - anywhere at any time. They should be forced to stick to fields / bridle paths - there are enough dumb animals on the road without the horsey brigade adding to their number.
