Roads are dead...

...I've been having so much fun!! A & B roads for over 200miles every other night without a peep from anyone. It feels like endless ribbons of tarmac without anyone around to spoil the experience! Best thing to come from covid

Every time I go out I seem to get stuck behind a van no matter where I go :/

No torque, so of course not. Needs 2 miles beforehand to build up some revs and speed

Nice that the petrol is like 103p a litre.

Just in case you're serious... Police can fine me if what I'm doing doesn't reason with their common sense based around the government's guidelines, they can arrest me if I don't comply with any instruction they give. It's chillin

As I mentioned my commute to [essential] work on Sunday was surreal - mid to late afternoon, sun out, deserted street after deserted street through the towns and villages, mile on mile of deserted dual carriageway.

Unbelievable.

How about the no neccasary journey part?

Nasher · 31 Mar 2020 at 22:08

It's necessary to prevent going insane at home

Rroff · 31 Mar 2020 at 22:09

Oh yeah if you don't have a necessary journey please stay off the roads

I like having them to myself.

is he an HGV driver ?

Some oil producers are now paying refiners to take it away - negative pricing yes ?, would beat the ev unit pricing.

“These are landlocked crude with just no buyers,” said Elisabeth Murphy, an analyst at consultant ESAI Energy. “In areas where storage is filling up quickly, prices could go negative. Shut-ins are likely to happen by then.”

Brent and West Texas Intermediate, the benchmarks closely followed in Wall Street, are hovering above $20 a barrel. But in the world of physical oil -- where actual barrels change hands -- producers are getting much less as demand plunges due to the lockdown to contain the spread of the coronavirus.

Oil traders believe other crude streams are likely to see negative prices soon at the well-head as refiners reduce the amount of crude they process, leaving some landlocked crude without easy access to pipeline trapped.
