Fury at BMW on empty motorway

A picture of a car 'hogging' the motorway middle lane at 5am has kicked off a row online. The picture shows a car in the middle lane on the M5 seemingly completely alone, with no other vehicles anywhere to be seen.

Frustrated by the white BMW driver, thousands have taken to Twitter to complain, raging that drivers should keep to the left and speculating that maybe the driver was a drug dealer or up to “no good”.

One enraged Twitter user “Furiosa27” said, 'it’s just like Mad Max out there, how the hell can he afford the petrol for that thing, he must be selling drugs, or organs or something.'

'I bet he’s a right c@nt - he’s hogging the whole motorway - bloody Beamer drivers,' said @rokatansky49.

'He hasn’t even used his winkers once when changing lane,' said @auntieentity39.

Driving test to include "driving up motorway in wrong direction" part

In an effort to bring the driving test up to date with life in the 21st century, it is to include a knuckle-whitening five miles up a major motorway against the traffic at rush hour.

"Let's face it, it happens to us all some day", a Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency spokesman announced. "The candidate will be expected to negotiate an average motorway with moderate to heavy traffic swerving out of their way in a blind panic. This will be followed by the standard three point turn".

"I think I handled that part pretty well", says 17-year-old Gareth Minster of Surrey, who took his test on Friday. "I just kept it cool, checking my rear view mirror every 20 seconds as you're told to do. There was one scary moment when a 40-ton truck was coming straight at me with the driver too absorbed in his smartphone to see me. But I gave one polite tap on the horn and he swerved out of the way and ploughed into the median barrier at the last minute".

"The worst part was when my mum came driving up the motorway just to wave at me", he adds. "I wish she wouldn't do that".
