Every other motorist was more interested in beeping at me for 'choosing' such a ridiculous place to break down than helping so I got stuck-in, removing the rear seats and centre console. I was in the process of detaching the fuel lines to the pump when, in a flurry of flourescent clothing and flashing lights the paramilitary arm of the Highways Agency descended from on-high and immediately took control of the situation! I was virtually dragged from the car and commanded to stay on the safe side of the barrier whilst they set about hooking up a tow rope to my car. I was permitted to sit in the passenger seat while they towed me 500yrds up the slip and down the other side to the hard shoulder of the M25.
I was then interrogated as to how I was going to move the car etc etc and informed that I had 2hours to remove the car from the hard shoulder before the police removed it for me for a fee. I had no way of having it towed for at least three hours so I elected to continue taking it apart on the hard shoulder. The Traffic Officer looked shocked to the core that I had made such a ridiculous suggestion and proceeded to talk me through the dangers of the hard shoulder and insisted that I stand behind the barrier while I awaited rescue. As the tow rope was still hooked up and in the interests of 'health and safety' I asked whether or not he could tow me the extra mile to the next junction where there was a service station, to which he replied no!
So to recap: I've broken down with no hope of rescue for at least 3 hours.
I have 2 hours to move my car before the police remove it and charge me £180.
I'm not allowed to fix it myself.
Traffic Officers will not tow me any further to services (1mile).
So I call the AA and set up a years membership, then call them back with my membership details and a van is dispatched. The mechanic arrives in 30minutes and tows me the mile to the services which takes around 3minutes. We spend a further 4minutes removing the fuel pump and the problem is immediately obvious.
10minutes later the wire is replaced an d the interior put back together and I'm just waving goodbye to the AA man when I glance across to the MacDonalds car park to see the helpful Traffic Officers having lunch in the services they couldn't tow me to
YOU NO LONGER NEED TO THINK FOR YOURSELVES GO BACK TO SLEEP GREAT BRITAIN YOUR GOVERNMENT IS IN CONTROL
Are we really living in such an Orwellian nightmare that we're actually not allowed to think for ourselves and we expect to be directed by these Nazi clones that only do things one way- by the book.
Fuck that. I'm starting to see why the Islamistics hate the west so much.
JIHAD!
Meh, i didnt know there was a difference, I was reffering to the little dudes that sit in those big 4x4s cruising up and down the Motorways (and always a few at NEC as well....) who cant pull you for speeding, but always there when anyone BUT me has broken down!!
