Isn't that a shock?? I'm mystified as to what happened to keep it accelerating then ;)

<unfair sweeping generalisation>

I know BMW drivers will do anything possible to ensure they go as fast as they can at all times, but this indicates a previously unknown level of creativity :spin: :D

Hmmm, I wonder if his insurance company and the plod will be checking to see how much he got for the TV appearances and magazine/newspaper interviews?

I actually saw the car...i live in the south but i am from newcastle...i'm please i left a bit after him.! I was in the traffic jam for about 30 mins then saw the BMW ON TOP of the sign posts at the roundabout. It had the roof cut off...very odd site. Any way i know that bit of road and if i remember correctly (i could be proved wrong) it doesn't have a hard shoulder.

But would BMW not say that anyways in order to protect sales of the car?

As well as there reputation.

Thats what I said to my missus the other day when we were talking about it, I said to her there is no hard shoulder on that part of the A1 so he's bulling there for a start, I travel that stretch of the A1 2-3 times a week and I can garuantee you there is no hard shoulder. People have been taken in by him, it's time for the coppers to charge him with wasting police time, speeding, reckless driving.

and even more importantly charge him with wasting 'this morning' time!

Ackworth to Blyth is a motorway and does, but its D2M not D3M, the bit further north is a D2. Don't know what the new bit is but I think it's D3M.

My point can clearly be seen from this section... thanks to Google Earth.

The zoom level was no good near the Blyth island but this is further North.


The 2nd attachment is the folded cloverleaf junction at the North end of the Doncaster A1M which is still D2M.

Thirdly we have the A1 at its junction with the A639 further north, clearly only D2 there.
