Ian that exact thing happened to us on Sunday on the M90.. We wer one of the only cars on the road, taking it easy obviously on the inside lane (the outside lane couldn't even be seen) A bloody artic. lorry came whoring out of nowhere, overtook us and we were driving blind and braking harder than we should have been for what seemed like ages! Can't believe the force of the spray that hit hit the windscreen! Arsehole!!

Yeah.. fair enough if he wants to risk his own life,but he shouldn't be endangering other people like that!

The amount of people I've heard saying the same thing or similar, that the actions of truckers caused them to brake, causing 'near misses' or accidents ...... not good and braking is a very natural reflect that's incredibly difficult to avoid doing, and in this weather, the slightest touch on the brakes is enough to cause all sorts of problems.

Yeah.. it was really scary! Couldn't see a thing! I don't think lorrys should be allowed in the overtaking lanes at all!

However.. we're all safe

can't belive your car is still on the M8!

My friend finally got home at 4.30am after 14 hours stuck on it.. the army eventually came with food supplied friom Asda..

LOL,,,,, My car's not still on the M8. I had to ditch it halfway between Newhouse and home !! Hells bells... it would most likely have been ransacked, stuck up on bricks if it had been left there!!

Oh....in saying that... I haven't seen it for 2 days... it could still be ransacked and up on bricks!! Ach, it's a hired car... !!!

Happyland... I totally missed this part of your post... sorry!!

Jezzus, that's one hell of a time: I thought I was bad, that's simply awful. Your friend didn't happen to be on the M80 Cumbernauld way at all? I heard that that, as well as parts of the M74 were simply horrendous. Poor souls..... good that Asda supplied the grub and the Army got it to them. It's unreal how cold you get, chilled right through,so very quickly - and how long it takes to warm up again.

Here's a wee 'You're having a laugh mate' moment. 5 of us were in the service station, knowing we were going to be stuck for quite some time, we bought several packs of sandwiches, crisps, choc, drinks, mags, newpapers, ciggies to take back to the cars, all of us spending about Ł30 per person (their prices were shocking!).

Whilst we were at the services, we had a few cuppas....... I went back up for another tea and asked if I could have 2 teabags. Young male assistant behind the counter said, "I'll need to charge you for 2 teas then...".

I looked at him as if he'd come off another planet and before I could challenge him, his 'colleague' lady assistant spun round, looked at him in the same way, saying, "You aren't being serious...that lady has been in here since first thing, she and her friends have been spending in here all day....how DARE you", then reached out to his till to amend the 2 teas, to 1 tea. Well done to the lady assistant for showing some common sense and good grace!!

Bloody cheeky.

Sorry Pyrami.. yeah I just assumed it was the M8 but he was actually on the Cumbernauld road.

Thank god there's people with a little sense like the woman in the services!

A lot of them now have porous surfaces so the rain just seeps through instead of lying on the top.
