Unbelievable.

How about the no neccasary journey part?

So, what have you interpreted from where...?

Must be a heart surgeon or something for a 200mile commute to be essential

This.

There you go then

Dis86 · 31 Mar 2020 at 22:40

Yeah...no.

There are many reasons people may be travelling 200+ miles under these guidelines, other than being a heart surgeon.

Medical care: “Any medical need, or to provide care or to help a vulnerable person.”

Work: “Travelling to and from work, but only where this absolutely cannot be done from home.”

Bloody conceit and disdain all up in hurr - people need to think before jumping guns.

And are you using any of those reasons?

And in the case of travelling to and from work, common sense would dictate to be travelling 200 miles your work needs to be pretty damn essential not just working at sports direct or whatever

i thought the roads were dead too
but every time i go out
i get stuck behind some ******
cruising the A and B roads for 200 miles

I wish my car wasnt broken

I dont see the harm in driving around for fun. As long as you aren't coughing on people out your window

Deleted member 77746 · 31 Mar 2020 at 23:17

I thought the police where stopping people?

shadow_boxer · 31 Mar 2020 at 23:20

Agree. Hopefully they'll start stopping these muppets who are going out for a drive for the sake it.

I'll bite... Love to know OP what key role you're doing to help out in this crisis that means you have to travel 200 miles?

Until you need to buy fuel, have an accident, break down, need to stopped by the police, or anything else that may require you to interact with someone else.

NVP · 31 Mar 2020 at 23:26

Not to mention all the joggers I high five out my window.

Fuel wise I use the Gulf 24hr one, on route, convenient and cheaper too.

Going for an unnecessary spirited drive and risking ending up in a ditch needing an ambulance and a whole bunch of emergency services seems a bit silly to me. Guess I am being boring though.

Akagi · 1 Apr 2020 at 07:55

I've been tempted to go out several times, I go for a drive to de-stress, I haven't been able to for a while... I don't see the harm in it to be honest, but the whole time I'd be worried about getting pulled over or whatever... I'm sure that would take some of the fun out of it!

Used the motorbike all last week, great being able to ride around and most of the people who actively try to kill you every day on any normal week aren't out driving at the same time.

Where abouts are you riding? I can fit some bullbars to my car and give chase if it would feel more familiar?

MrKnifey · 1 Apr 2020 at 08:02

I went to the chiropractors last week in the M3.. came home the super long way which was huge fun. Not ashamed.

Newcastle, in the car this week though, back to bike next week if the weather is OK. You don't need bull bars though, just change lanes with no warning and try and sideswipe me when I'm right alongside you or pull out on me when I'm on a roundabout and that would be familiar enough.
