340 in it's element ??

Post by mac »

Interesting journey on my daily hospital run today.

Between Kelvedon and Chelmsford traffic grinds almost to a halt, several miles at a crawl, eventually the cause is reached.

Ambling along at approx. 15mph, dead centre - straddling both lanes of the dual c. is an 'H' reg 340 in pristine condition. Two occupants (of the distaff branch) peering over the dash (just) - estimated average age 110 yrs +.

Totally unphased by the horns, lights and gestures of everybody else.

Candidates for joining the drifting set perhaps ???

Once I met similar driver, there was 3 passengers and age was certainly almost the same, I followed them to where they stopped and I certainly did try to be as polite as possible and did mention how dangerous their driving were, for example on blind corners they were at edge of tarmac on wrong lane! Imagine what would happen if 60ton truck had come there. But no, I was almost framed to several traffic violations, insane.

They did drove Volvo 440.

After that case I have kept memo and phone always in car, so I can write down plates and report from such behavior.

Traffic is enough risky even without such drivers.

You know what they say,"there's always one", or in this case two.

Still nice to see a 3 series in the hands of the intended market. :wink:
