or caused a four car pile up.

We all know that the OP had to be a woman. No man would have done this. Unless he were an Asian man.

Right, because there are no non-asian male asshole drivers.

Patrick, this is from the UK, friend.

Let's hope op skidded out of his lane before making contact. If he leaves the lane it's his fault as an unsafe change. It could also be ruled deliberate and thus reckless driving. Next time brake check like that in front of a big rig, maybe it'll put us out of your misery.

It's like a motorway but generally moves faster.

But the FML is from the UK. I'm guessing that's why they said that

Yeah, it seems to be a word that covers all public roads here, as we have the Highway Code, but no actual highways... I'm guessing the OP means a motorway or dual-carriageway.

Speed cameras are not allowed on motorways, chances are it was a dual carriageway.

I was just trying to spread my Canadian understanding of the word across the pond. pollute the English language with my Canadianisms. Our government too uses the word highway to refer to all sorts of public roads, with the difference being we usually don't use a different word for them and the word highway is actually on the sign (Quebec not included).

maybe they used the american term since usually when a british person posts using our english they get a million comments from the more stupid members of this site asking what everything is, if he had written motorway there probably would have been loads of "what's a motorway" comments....

were not ******* retarded

if you don't know the difference between "were" and "we're", you actually just might be.
