Chaos on the roads! Yup, its pension day!

(1/4) > >>

Evilgoat:
Sorry bit of a rant here but my last 4 hours of driving have been made a nightmare by the Blue Rinse Brigade, I need a rant. Seems that some of this lot probobly account for about 3 or 4 chavs's worth of bad driving and attitude.

We'll start with the drive from Denmead to Hedge End. Found a brand new MX5, personal plate, old bat behind the wheel (could bearly see over it) doing 25mph round the back roads. I can kind of accept this in places but come on, if the dizzy heights of 30 on an open straight road is just way too much, perhaps you shouldnt A) have a performance car B) even be on the road. Get out onto a long, open stretch 60 limit, foot to the floor to overtake her and I get 2 fingers and she pulls over in front to stop me overtaking! I'm doing about 50 after a run-up at this point and she's still at 25. I'm so glad I drive a 4x4 as the overtaking involved the opposite verge and her being showred in mud and grass. I mean [Edited]!? Why stop me overtaking. Reg plate time noted down and passed to a friendly copper.

Then comming into Bitterne the traffic is slowing to a complete crawl. Lights are green, no reason I can see for the hold up, oh hang on, yes, it's a godsdamn mobility scooter pottering down the middle of the road, two good pavements with let-downs on either side but no, we have to be on the road. No road tax, no lights, no insurance, what the bloody hell is it doing there?! Incidentally its the same one I nearly flattened a few days ago that was out at 9pm with no lights on the same bit of road! More notes for local bobby.

Carved up on the motorway roundabout by a fiesta and an old grandad with the spacial awareness of a blind elephant, who then proceeds to drive down the white line between the lanes and starts breaking at the last moment, for a few seconds I thought a tanker was gonna tag him. Carved up again at the next roundabout by the same codger where another 4x4 eventually pushes him into a lane.

All over so I thought, no, another queue, hedge end junction ad dear old Aunty Dot tries to get her unlicened, untaxted, uninsured electric motorbike round a busy motorway roundabout.

Why are these people still allowed to drive when they acheive some of the most stupid accidents of all time! For god's sake get these people off the road and inform them that yes, they may have faught in the war but the law applies to them too and it wont help them when they get mown down by a caffine crazed EU trucker thats just had enough.

ARGH!

Compulsory re-testing every 5 years, and you'd get one year to pass.  Job done.

We hate pension day when it's been icy, or snowing.
As there's generally at least one old dear who's fallen & broken her hip.

The call to the Ambulance crews (from Control) is allegedly 'Nan Down!'

 :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  cheers just spat coffee over the keyboard

you want to be behind my father in law
he got to a set of traffic lights on red one day and then promptly fell asleep at the wheel :shock:
no one stopped to see if he was ok though :evil:  when he finally woke up his mate who was in front of him reckoned the lights had changed 4 cycles by the time he realised :roll:  he then proceeded to cut up those people who were going round him thinking they were trying to beat him off the lights
this was 5 years ago and he,s still driving :roll:
