Yet another example today of a stupid driver causing potential risk to lives.
On the on slip to a busy motorway i was following four cars, about to merge onto the motorway at 60mph. The traffic was light and there was adequate space for us all to merge onto the motorway. All of a sudden the car in front braked heavily and i had to stamp on the brakes to not hit it. What appeared to have happened is that the front car had decided to stop at the end of the slip road, instead of merging into traffic. I can only assume they'd suddenly remembered they'd left the iron on at home and the house was currently burning to the ground, or that they'd just found out they'd won the lottery. Surely it must have been something important to stop like that?
No - it would appear that they forgot the rules of the motorway and was treating it like a normal road junction. If the cars behind them hadnt been on the ball, this could have been a major pile up, and potential risk to lives. These sort of people are the ones who should be banned until they can prove they are a good driver. A lap of the nurburgring in under 10minutes, in a mini cooper s would be a good basis for passing and demonstrating this.
