The reason there is a small hole in one end of your bic biro lid is because lots of people were accidently swallowing them and not able to breath, they put the little hole there so air could always get through. Probably a wide know fact though 
Also in Florida it's illegal to park your car facing forwards as there's no front plate for police to recognise cars if they're looking for a certain one, you have to park with the rear plate on show. Although that might be for more places, not just Florida.

Sure that's not so the ink can flow Danny? You have to be wrong there, the amount of air that could pass through said hole wouldn't keep you alive.

I learned something similar not long ago. I learned when they're about a trucks length behind you on a dual carriageway and you indicate, move out then have to swiftly pull back as they've sped up and miss you by an actual INCH, its scary. He went past me with his brakes on, I was doing 65 MPH and he was still pulling on me
So I've learned a few things there, close encounters with white van men is scary, white van men speed up (or maybe he was already braking the speed limit) and white van men are COMPLETE FUCKING SELFISH CUNTS ON THE ROAD - ON PAR WITH BMW AND AUDI DRIVERS!
WANKERS!

B&Q stands for Block and Quaill
The Audi badge represents 4 car companys that came together to form Audi.
The Chrysler Imperial is the only car to be banned from all forms of demolition derbys in the US due to its size and indestructability.
The band 'So Many Dynamos' has an album called 'Are we not drawn onward to new era' - both are pallendrones.
The Ford F series is the longest running model of car.

Obviously I don't know because I wasn't actually there but a large number of vans on the road can't speed up quickly when they're already doing motorway speeds, for that reason I suspect it was more likely a misjudgment of his original speed, rather than him speeding up (again I wasn't there, I may be wrong but I have witnessed this many times in the past). Due to poor aerodynamics, larger weights and often relatively low power, once they get upto speed, van drivers prefer not to lose it again unless it's absolutely necessary. It can can come across as being selfish to those who don't regularly drive such vehicles but surely it's less selfish making one car wait for a van to pass, than for that van to slow down, allowing said car to pull out but consequently slowing down any traffic behind him until he can either regain his speed or move back to the left lane?
By the same token I know there are plenty of bellend van drivers out there too but just wanted to offer my opinion in the hope that it will help people to think beyond what is a very minor inconvenience to themselves and look at the bigger picture.
