I can't stand football so went out for an extra spirited drive yesterday evening knowing that the roads would be quieter than normal. I saw one S2000 while blatting around and surprisingly not a single plod or mobile speed trap

I asked the missus why she hadn't screamed as usual when we got home to which she said "I was too scared to scream!"

Unfortunately the roads were still pretty busy down by us, even though the footie was on..

no, but i went on the quiet roads

I left Central London on the day of the last England game and made it back to mid-Sussex in record time. Running ahead and behind a Mercedes CLK Cabriolet on the M25 at 110-120 (kph, obviously) helped. He was top down and in a hurry. But does it mean that we now have to wait another four years for empty roads?!

I happened to be traveling back from some friends, and yes the roads were quiet.

I still don't actually know who won the world cup, and i'm not even sure who the last two teams were. I think italy was one, but don't know about the other.

I did - I had gone back ot parents after FoS and then whipped home during the second half. Lovely, quiet roads but it didn't stop a Focus appearing behind me, hassle me whilst I kept to speed limit in a little village, and then slop about as he struggled to keep up in the twisties

Glad its not just me that couldn't give a toss about the world cup...... and I don't know who won either!

Italy did, I had it on Five Live

I got some time on the bike when the roads were quiet

Only had to let one car past this time, and not a single other biker

Sadly..... "Scotland vs big team in major international football competition = deserted roads" is not an equation I will see very often
