Now that the M4 motorway is 'four lanes running' a new type of complete and utter fucking chode has come out of the woodwork. May I present the 'sitting in lane 3 of 4 for no reason because I'm dumb as shit' driver.

"Old" human remains found close to the M4 motorway near Swindon

I always hope (maybe the wrong word here, but you know what I mean) that when remains are found we come closer to possibly identifying whatever happened to Andrew.

Article text:

Suspected human remains have been found close to a motorway.

A large police presence can be seen in woodland off Medbourne Lane, close to junction 15 of the M4 near Swindon.

Wiltshire Police said it could take weeks to identify the "old" remains but specialist officers were meticulously combing the scene.

It said officers expected to remain there "over the next few days and weeks" and would provide further updates when possible.

People who blatantly ignore the average speed limit checks on the (never ending) M4 motorway roadworks. Why do you do do it and have you ever been caught? Other motorways are available.

I see so many people sitting at 80 in long stretches of 50mph limit with cameras. Never had the balls to do it myself.

Note - I regularly go well over the limit on some sections but I do it in a bright yellow and blue car with flashy lights on, we never see the tickets we get in work cars and the cameras are government not police owned so even we have no idea.

Sitting in the slow lane of the motorway in an endless average speed limit section (M4 I'm looking at you) with cruise control locked to 50mph and 90% of all traffic is overtaking you

Surely all these people aren't getting speed tickets? How to average speed cameras actually work? Do they have a percentage range which is acceptable (say up to 54mph average is acceptable) or is it only 1 in X cars get picked out? Someone somewhere knows how speed cameras are configured. Is it some sort of protected government information that you need top secret clearance for? It's always intrigued me.

The feeling of National Shame you get when you drive from England's usually free flowing, well managed M4 into Wales' third world, corrupt banana republic version of a motorway. Sort it out Cardiff, we don't need to just give the English ammunition to take the piss out of us!!!

The M4 motorway walks into a bar...

The M4 motorway walks into a bar.

"Oi, barman, I'm the M4 motorway. 500,000 cars drive over me every day, I'm hard as nails. Get me a drink" he orders.

The barman, rather surprised that a talking motorway has walked into his bar, pours him a whisky and he sits down at the table.

A few minutes later, a second motorway kicks open the door and walks in.

He says "I'm the M1. I have 900,000 vehicles drive over me every day. I make the M4 look like a child. I'm the hardest there is. Nobody can touch me. Now get me a fucking drink."

The barman, despite being rather unimpressed with being ordered around, pours him a beer and he sits down next to the M4.

The barman can hear the two motorways comparing their size and and arguing over who is the toughest, when the door swings open again.

In walks a small, narrow, piece of red tarmac. Both the M4 and M1 shut up immediately and stare down at their drinks, too terrified to look up.

Confused, the barman asks "what's the matter guys? Just now, you two were telling me how tough you are and how there is nobody harder, but now you're both staring down at your drinks too scared to look up..?"

The motorways look up and say "We're not messing with him. Nobody ever does. He's a cycle path."
