This is a question Little Victories

I recently received a £2 voucher from a supermarket after complaining vociferously about the poor quality of their own-brand Rich Tea biscuits, which I spent on more tasty, tasty biscuits. Tell us about your trivial victories that have made life a tiny bit better.

Driving on the M42
If you have ever used this you will know there is an 'Active Traffic Management' system with gantries every 500 meters or so, the gantries display the speed limit for the road according to the volume, apparently this helps with the flow of vehicles, they even put in speed cameras in some of them so people don't take the piss.

On the day in question i'm in the overtaking lane stuck at 60 mph as per the institutions from the sign above, in the rear view mirror i see a BMW right on my arse flashing his headlights, the driver was getting impatient as we passed through more 60 mph signs, eventually he overtakes on the wrong side while giving a middle finger salute, the very next gantry happened to have a camera in that flashed costing him £60 and 3 points, as he slowed down after the flash I gave him a cheery wave.

By "in the overtaking lane stuck at 60mph"

If
You have ever driven on that bit of road you will know that it is too much traffic for that rule to apply

And yet he managed to undertake
which would suggest you *could* have moved over...

No, it doesn't..
I drive down this bit a lot and some idiots use the tiniest little space to undertake in, before zooming off ahead of you. This happened to me before, although I was in the middle lane. It did make me smile when the camera flashed :)

But
if it was busy (which an applied limit of 60 mph would suggest) then a rule 268 situation may have developed.

Either way, any one who flashes at people to get out of the way is a cunt.
