Ok so yesterday I drove back from my sisters house in London up to Sheffield. This basically involves 140miles of the M1. To make it more 'interesting' I like to play a game.
So basically, you drive slightly faster or slower than the speed you want to go at. So I normally like to drive at 80 in my little Clio, so go at 75 or 85mph, and look for car who is driving at your ideal speed and looks like a long distance driver (i.e. if it's a banger, they're probably a northerner). Once you find the car then you need to follow behind them for a long as possible. You can't be swapping in different lanes behind them, so you have to pick a good driver and not someone who is just hogging lanes. Also I tend to avoid vans because I don't like not being able to see past the car in front. Once you've found a good car then you have to stick with them for as long as you can. Yesterday I followed a Green Mondeo estate for 70miles, before it pulled into Leicester Forest services. I get real satisfaction from spotting a good car to follow, especially one that sticks exactly to your ideal speed.
So I confessed my game to Mrs Pubey who thought I was a complete freak and weirdo, but I'm sure I'm not the only person to play games like this when driving. Anyone got any good ones?
