29th November 2010 - Vehicle chess

It is facinating to watch the positioning of vehicles on the road, journeys turning into a game of chess as various moves that each driver pulls off either being strategic to gain position further up the road, full on aggressive positioning, blocking moves if you like and then from time to time stalemate! Aftab has a particular specialism, using waiting vehicles as a blocker to gain advantage and jump ahead - 40% of the time it works everytime.

One other thought on the traffic today is what would happen if lines were painted on the road and people did drive with any sort of lane discipline. Not sure it would help, feels like gridlock would result, still I'll never know as that is never going to happen!
