I’ve always wanted to do that…..

August 17, 2005

Yesterday I drove home via the toll road - rain was kicking down and break lights were abounding - I skipped the first exit as it’s always a nightmare to get out of there - the next one is a 1km or two along - but as soon as I went past the first, traffic came to a halt - three lanes solid - not moving - this could take a while - I sat for five minutes or so - nothing moved - Fuck it

All that time in UK getting stuck heading on the M3 or M25 going to London - all that time thinking would they catch me if I just busted down the hard shoulder for a mile? camera’s, police, drivers with mobiles pissed off you are breaking the law - no can’t be done in UK - wait in line - it will pass eventually....

Here it had to be done though - I’ve seen traffic like this here before - it could be anything from 30mins to an hour for this short stretch depending on the fuck up ahead.

Fuck it.

As I took the lead disciples followed - full beams fixed to show we’re coming - reams of solid static traffic looking on - I’m going home - cleared it to my exit under a minute.

Damn it felt good.
