Driving standards

[Stevel]

I prefer to see it as you're wound up and i'm perfectly calm. Hey, what's the weather been like where you are today, it's been quite nice here today and exceptionally mild for the time of year don't you think?

Perhaps he was blinded by the shine off the front wing on your motor.

Whoever waxed that is a menace to society.

don't know what you mean mate

even the thickest mongoloids have now worked out that as long as you don't speed excessively, you can virtually do what you like on the roads. as someone who rides a motorcycle daily it's pretty hairy out there let me tell you!
what someone needs to do is invent a 'bad driving' camera, until then, i don't see things improving....

I have to admit that I have also seen driving standards drop through the floor recently.
In work last week, I was going to an assistance call about 5 miles from where I am now stationed.
It was about 5pm and the traffic was very busy - but it should have taken 5 mins to get there.
As I was making my way throught the traffic on the City approache, I noticed in my mirror that there was an impatient (dare I say it.......) white transit van driver beinhd me. It was marked in local company liveries (I'll be speaking to the transport section about it.....).
The numpty driver was following me move for move so he could get throught the traffic in the path that I had created for myself!!!!

I could not believe it!!
So, to the numpty in the white van....... I did get your reg and I'll speak to you about it in the future!!

After being hit up the arse by a Transit this morning, my day was topped off by a witless bint in a Vectra. She literally emergency stopped in front of the van I was following, because there was a Fire Engine a quater of a mile behind us.

The Van just stopped, I had my brakes on full, the ABS going ape, while the van got closer. I stopped literally an inch or so off the vans bumper.

The Fire engine passed and the daft tw@ bag in the Vectra carried on, oblivious to the carnage she nearly caused.

Have we checked the members list for witless bint? She may be a member!

I keep seeing this woman in a white Fiesta on the motorway. She goes flying along about 80, sits on the tail of whoever is in front of her. They move over, she passes then slams on the brakes down to 50. She'll tootle along at 50 in the outside lane, then suddenly accelerate off into the distance. Annoys the ****e out of me because I keep on catching her, then she slows me down, and then if I pass her she's right up my arse again. Can't imagine her fuel and brakepad bills.

When I used to commute weekly between London and Bristol, I use to get a bloke do this to me, quite regularly too!

I use to pull into the next services, go and grab a Mars bar and a Coke just to getr rid of the barsteward.

Reverse Psychology! Don't try and outrun the tw*t, put him 5 minutes in front. You then get and unimpeded run which is a lot more relaxing!
