This motorist’s dedication to getting the job done is admirable.
Honestly, when the alarm went off this morning. Did you have the desire to get up and go to work? I did, of course. I love nothing more than providing you with fresh reading material on Car Whiz in the morning. I have now become the Edwin Evers of the editorial team, if I may say so myself. But as much dedication as this motorist, no, I can still learn from that!
Stopping on a motorway entrance ramp
The police found this BMW 3 Series Touring on the entrance ramp to the A50 motorway near Veghel, Noord-Brabant. The car was standing still, while this should normally be the place to step on the gas so you can merge at 100 km/h onto the motorway.
What kind of emergency was going on here? Was a woman giving birth in the car? Had the driver become unwell? None of these things. The BMW driver had stopped the car to work. The driver told the police that he wanted to clear some administrative backlogs. On the entrance to a motorway, as you do.
A very special statement to stop the car at this point. Then drive to the nearest rest stop or gas station and do your thing there. This driver is clearly different. The type I have the idea NOW to do this, so I’m going to do it NOW.
The police were already happy that the BMW driver had at least stopped the car and did not try to clear up administrative backlogs while driving. However, you are not supposed to do this on the entrance to a motorway. The driver was therefore given a ticket. Next time, just drive on to a better workplace. And that is taken into account.

Not much different from the average BMW driver, right? 😉
