what a couple of numpty,s

went to accy today to deliver a unit to my sis, anyway to cut a long story short hubby loaded the trailer but once on the motorway the rope came loose and we had to pull into the hard shoulder to fix it.

As he were tightening the ropes a large wagon came truudging past and jim said he felt the force of it pull him backwards, We decided to then come off the motorway and stick to the little roads as i call em.

Anyway on the second journey we only had the car so we went back on the m55 only to pass not one but two Numptys cycling down the hard shoulder on thier pushbikes (How crazy) Really though If a wagon had passed them and they were hit with the same force jim had been earlier it could have taken them under or caused a serious accident,
Needless to say I phoned the police who said they had several calls already and a patrol car was en route.

Just couldnt believe what i was seeing .

A couple of weeks ago we saw a kid on a pushbike just coming off the motorway at Clayton. They seem to think they are OK on the hard shoulder.

Re: what a couple of numpty,s

Actually saw a cyclist on the M65 last week on the hard shoulder looking disdainfully at his bike like it had broken down !! Did puzzle for the next 10 miles what he was doing there in the first place. Would have loved to have waited around to see what conversation he had with the traffic police..

Do you think everybody is trying to get back on their bikes, but don't know the motorway rules yet ??
