You couldn't make it up.

Hopefully she'll be found and the police will throw the book at her.

The woman didn't crash despite busybody prats in other cars driving along beside her at the same speed and 'waving frantically' at her to stop.

Looks to me like the most competent driver on that stretch at that moment. Yah boo sucks to busybodies not concentrating on their own driving, like her.

Wouldn't 'stupid driver' (pace AC) have been enough, Stuart?

No, not compelling enough to attract attention I would suspect.

"Yah boo sucks to busybodies not concentrating on their own driving, like her."

Well, the photo was taken by a passenger, who left the "concentrate on their driving" bit to the... er driver.

The passenger was a "busybody"? Don't be ridiculous. The woman was a menace to public safety and getting something done about it was in the public interest.

>> The passenger was a "busybody"?

Yes.

But the newspaper story mentioned 'other drivers signalling frantically'. Perhaps it was exaggerating.

If I think someone else is driving dangerously I keep out of their immediate vicinity as far as possible. I don't see it as my function to control them in any way. There are people paid to do that.

I used to drive around with an A-Z propped on the dash if required. Seemed normal then.

Builder Andrew Stonham was heading home on the M1 in Leicestershire when he spotted the reckless act.

He first saw her at junction 25 - and continued alongside the blue Nissan Micra until junction 27 ten miles away.


And he's another prat. Anyone right thinking would want to put as much distance as possible between yourself and somebody doing a dangerous thing.

A much worse one, as I said earlier. Driving alongside another car for 10 miles FFS... do me a favour.

From what I remember, the smiling lady may not really have even been reading the book, just pretending to. In order to wind up busybody prats and get on youtube.

I saw an LGV driver reading a book when driving up the M40 a while back. I spotted him because he was gently weaving across his lane.

What's the problem?

It's well known that women can multi-task....

Oh, you mean weighing up the fact that the bedroom really needs decorating whilst servicing your needs?

Tee hee...

No really Stuartli, harrumph, honestly, tsk....

I would get such a flea in my ear for sniggering at that. And quite rightly, quite rightly. Harrumph.

Try answering 2 way radio, writing out dockets and eating a Big Mac, whilst driving round Marble Arch/ Hyde Park Corner. Now that took some doing.................
