Any given Friday, the M5 from Bristol start’s full and somehow just gets fuller.
Strange rules for that road. I will wave as I drive slowly by 
BTW @cinematic the fast BMW would be wasted in the traffic jam

You’re right, I have a fast BMW but it’s only fast late at night when “normal” people are asleep

The M5 is a motorway. Similar in concept to an Autobahn, however the distinct difference is that (native)* Autobahn drivers actually know how to use them! 
Here in the UK, driving in the middle lane seems to be the most widely acknowledged way for a car to travel and the idea of “die Rettungsgasse” is simply beyond comprehension.
*felt the need to qualify that based on the number of emergency announcements on Ă–3 radio when I lived in Austria alerting drivers of someone travelling the wrong way along the A8!

I thought I heard that radio stuff at the start refer to the M25
Ah well.
I lived in Brentwood and had to use the M25 a lot , probably still etched on my brain

M25 or Texas… (Or even Florida)
It’s a toss up for any of them.
But once you get off the M25 and enjoy Devon and Cornwall in weather like this it’s definitely closer to Heaven than Hell (@PixelPopper must love it, besides all those pesky tourist’s)
And as it is a music thread

You must be hallucinating, thinking the average Germans know how to drive… they’re actually worse!

Many years ago I used to drive from Holland to Hanover and the number of skid marks that just went off the roads and down bankings used to scare the crap out of me. A lot of these wer two lane autobahns at that time as well.
One of the Germans I worked with explained to me that it was Porsche drivers coming around the corner at 200KMH and trying to avoid a Trabant doing 60KMH.
30 years later and I still don’t know if he was pulling my leg.
Hexagonal hopefully
Yes,trabant doing 60kph

I’m wondering if I’m the only one that had to Google Trabant.

Is it not a car you had ever seen?
Unlike the Skoda and Lada which were I am sure originally designed as Tanks, the Trabant was not designed at all to even be car 
I had the pleasure of driving behind some very slow Eastern block car’s in the early 90s on Autobahns and it’s not something I am likely to ever forget 
The Trabant was merely the worst of them from what I remember.

No googling over fifty and/or interested in cars.
Needed googling normal people.
