Driving Puns

A page of puns about driving.  With jokes, drawings and anything else that adds a humorous twist to the serious business of driving.

From first lessons through to mobility scooters and a selection of different cars in between, driving is a large part of many people's lives.

Self-driving automation promises to come along and take the fun out of it but for now it is mostly man, woman or lunatic behind the steering wheel of an automobile.
A bigger threat than automation may be the oncoming juggernaut of green electric motoring.  This threatens the end of fossil fuel foolery and some of the fun for motorists.

After the invention of the wheel came the pun. 

​Let's step on the gas and see how many PPH - puns per hour - we can reach.

Warning - the page ahead is undergoing urgent repairs.

A large hole in the content has been discovered.  The road ahead is closed with signs and traffic cones.

Back up a little, find a safe place to turn round and wait for a moment while the satnav resets itself.

​OK, rerouted.  Proceed with caution.

​Sorry for any delays.  Have a nice journey.

ULEZ

ULEZ stands for Ultra Low Emissions Zone.  The expansion in London is causing controversy.

There is a charge to pay for certain types of vehicles.  So if you are rich - pollute away!  If you are poor, prepare to get poorer.

The expansion is not going smoothly.  People are physically attacking the new cameras sometimes by using angle-grinders to cut down the poles the cameras are mounted on.  These modern day Robin Hoods call themselves the Blade Runners.

Pit Stop

After all that high-octane excitement this page needs to refuel and change the tyres.

As the writing game is slightly slower than motor racing an average stop takes about three months.

​Thanks for waiting.
