Going home last night, northbound through the roadworks at Bishops Stortford on the M11, a Volvo estate, yes (VOLVO)had broken down in the single lane section. He had the sense to pull right in to the Armco and put cones from the roadworks round the car, leaving enough room for everyone to get through.Well done, extremely considerate.

cr*p Cambell, I've been cut up more times by Volvos than any other make of car. There is even a official "volvo drivers syndrome" in which drivers believe they are safe and so do not consider other drivers.
Its good to hear that there are sensible drivers in all makes (could it be a second car?)
smeagol,
You are a neighbour of mine (well, sort of), and I have *way* more trouble with BMW and merc drivers.
I will also admit to owning a Volvo as my first car (under duress (sp?) as parents lent me the money, so had a say)
More importantly, don't upset campbell, he might go away, and he is such good entertainment.

Edited by Sparks on Wednesday 26th September 12:23 maybe where I live there isn't many volvo drivers that race there cars down the road and cut people up and my ovlov isn't capable of any thing like that and I hate it when you get drivers doing silly overtaking on bad roads, all I want to do is get my gun from the boot and shoot out the tyres OHH Yes I want to
OHH Yes I want to 
Don't worry I try to keep a low profile when I get these mad moments then it's to the botle which makes me sain again, but dosn't it mot pis you off a little the way some people drive, for instance I watched a right prat this morning overtake in mist with 60 yards visability in a turbo diesel 406 then he past a car on double white lines, now if we tryed any of this we would have proberly been caught out

I see someone driving like a muppet so I take a deep breath and a large swig of Whiskey to calm me down again, officer....

Saw some cheeky bugger, in a diesel of all things, overtake my beloved Vloov this morning and it right peed me off coz if I'd been a bit more sober I'd have gone for it instead, although because I can see 4 lanes all the time it might have ended in tears.
BMW and Mercs are bad (I think its more their arrogance). My experience is with Volvos is that they are in two groups:
a) The person that the volvo is the second car and tend to be driven quite well with consideration for others.
b) The person whos only car is a volvo and thinks they are immune to damage. (Flat cap blind old people) They approach a junction, look, see a car coming and pull out anyway cos "they're perfectly safe"
Campbell knows I would never insult him as I love his postings as well.
I've noticed a lot more boy racers in BMWs now, must be the low prices of 2nd hand ones.
I'm trying to work out what sri stands for cos it ussually means sad w**ker who thinks hes got a performance car! I especially like the ones which have been "souped up" with a 5" exhuast pipe out the back, laugh I thought my pants would never dry
