Cantering... Except Down the Motorways And A-Roads On The Way There..!

Not only was this a good day for Swinton but it was also a good day personally for me as I managed to get a decent driving stint under my belt for the first time since passing!

Reaching 90mph on the M62, M1, A1 and A1(M) was something to relish, as was being able to use the overtaking lane and freedom.

Even in the motorway lesson hastily arranged on the Friday afternoon before it saw me restricted to the two nearside lanes.

A couple of surprising things happened though, I'll elaborate in another post, in case you skip over the rugby reports..!

Then (with my Dad driving) on to the World Club Challenge at Wigan to see St George beat the hosts to become World Champions, excellent!

Anyway, here's the Gateshead report submitted to the Advertiser:

You Never Stop Learning To Drive..!

That first long run in the car to Gateshead following Swinton (minus the instructor) prompted more questions about driving than were answered in all my lessons, one of them is slightly more obvious than the other..! So here goes:

1. Just what is the point of the National speed limit on motorways? Everyone does over the limit and it's accepted as nearly everyone cruises at between 70 and 85mph. If we all went round murdering, would the same thing happen?! I doubt it!

2. At one time in the journey, on the very fringes of Gateshead, my Dad demanded that we pull over so he could make some urine...

As we were in an urban area and there were no suitable bushes, he claims that it was legally ok for him to spray it all down his own car (and in the process show my mate Stevo his cock..!)

Is there some legal loophole that I was totally unaware of or was my Dad in dire danger of getting arrested for public indecency?

Answers, please!
