I'd just passed my driving test
...and was going out with a girl from Canterbury University, which essencially meant that I was a free taxi driver to and from her parents house and Canterbury (about 30 odd miles).
I had a MKIII Tincorna which was somewhat temperamental to say the least. Those things were NOT lightweight, and most days I'd have to pushstart it by myself - sometimes after lighting newspaper underneath it to warm it up first, as this made it start a bit easier.
One Friday evening around 5pm, I was driving her back home (again), and after push starting the car, and of course, as to be expected in a city at 5pm, the traffic was chocka. I pulled into a connecting road to join the Old Dover Road and all along side the road were parked cars.
I simply pulled out and drove past them all, about 50 in total.
It turned out that they weren't parked at all; simply queing to get out of the junction at the end of the road.
The looks of disgust from the drivers now coming towards me - as I was on the wrong side of the road, was unbearable. I shrunk down in the seat in shame.
Then I had an idea.
I got my girlfriend to stuff her jacket in her t-shirt and pretended she was pregnant and that I had deliberately overtaken the cars in an effort to get to hospital faster.
I'm pretty sure no-one believed me, or cared for that matter.
Stupid...yeah, pretty much.
Did I get away with it.
Hmmmm....sort of.

I saw some cunt do that once
in brisbane, unfortunately for me, I was on a motorcycle travelling in the other direction when he decided he'd just pop onto the other side. Fuck it hurt.

funny enough i did a similar thing in New Milton once. anyone who knows NM, its the traffic lights behind the subway ;)

Got all the way to the end of the 'parked cars' before i realise my mistake. luckily, i was able to reverse the whole way back as there was no one behind me :P
