One day this tequnice saved my mini, I pulled left onto the shoulder at 70-0ks and the ute behind me screached to a stop about 1 meter behind the car that was infront of me :shock: If I had'nt have swerved it would of been a snadwich with mini filling :(

This is my rear end experience back in 2004, my mates bro was planing to follow me through a yellow light, obviously I did'nt want to run the light :? took 7 weeks to repair. The thing that amazed me was the boot floor looked like corragated tin :o

the mini was still useable but the ford needed towing :twisted:
Classic not plastic

Unless the traffic on the so-called `Motorway' is crawling/stopped. As happens on this M4 here.
Motorway my arse, in peak hour..... :evil:
But I agree, people who cannot gain speed and merge with freeway traffic piss me off too.
