Well said, masermartin. One of the things I dislike about DRLs is that on many cars, the dash lights are also on automatically, so you get f
ktards driving around in the dark without tail lights. Monkeylegend said:

Any positive sighting of a motor vehicle can only be a good thing, any time of the day.
So many drivers use no lights in fog, heavy rain or other reduced visibility or leave it until the last moment to switch on as darkness approaches.
Check out the reason they were introduced, it's illuminating.

The prat that hit our car today.
Ours was the middle car in a row of 7, parked on the road.
He hit our wing mirror so hard, it took 2 chunks of paint off the bonnet, down to the paint, where it landed.
Witness says he tried to fit between parked cars, and car coming other way (who had the right of way), and was on the phone.

Scaffolders, driving their lorries side by side chatting to one another on a dual carriageway at 30mph for about 3 miles the other morning. Knowing full well they were annoying everyone behind.
Why Radley Scaffolding from Medway in Kent get their kicks from pissing off lots of other motorists is a mystery to me.
Tradesmen that drive like knob ends - don't bother sign writing your vehicles.....

GPs. I have private medical insurance, which I pay for in addition to the NHS. Every time I've had to go to the GP for a referral to use for private treatment, they are either arsy as fk or they act dumb like they don't understand what it is. Yea you're a borderline genius who studied for 8 years to get where you are and yet you can't figure a form out that only has 3 boxes on it. Bullst. They claim they are overworked, protests etc, and yet they won't take 5 mins to enable me to alleviate some work their system would otherwise have to cover, but they'll still get the money for regardless? Gobstes.

Special mention to the silver Mondeo that suddenly appeared from the onslip through a thick bank of fog and was nearly rear ended by a skip lorry 
The Fast and Furious wannabee in the RX8 who nearly crashed into my car as he lost the back end trying to go round a corner at silly speeds coming out of my estate.
The young lad on the A602 who was so impatient that he nearly caused a head on with a Transit after he tried to overtake 6 cars. Over double white lines. Round a blind corner.Uphill. Over a blind crest. Stupid fking tt should be banned for a very log time for a stunt like that.

You're a bit confused. GPs aren't overworked and don't claim to be. You're thinking of hospital doctors, who are currently being shat upon by idiotic reforms.k or they act dumb like they don't understand what it is.

Oh. Well they're full of crap. They work about 40 hours a week!Blown2CV said:
there was something on r4 about it recently, apparently it's something to do with the NHS cutting the funding so they need to cut headcount in the surgeries, and the other doctors have to cover it... also increasing pressure for a proper out of hours service, and having to cut their wages... i think generally the protests have not been well-received as they are hardly on the bread-line, but i think if anyone got told to work twice the hours inc evenings and weekends, for half the money, they wouldn't be too chuffed. BUT, private medical insurance surely reduces the demands on them. It's like they passionately want to help people, but are passionately opposed to anyone else helping them. Very weird situation.
NHS doctors are pretty much saints in my experience. Always been extremely impressed, and they do wonderful work for not much money.Remember that many of them are borderine communists, though, like a lot of public sector workers. Been too busy learning medicine to move on from high school politics of envy.

In my experience private health insurance is largely a waste of time in this country. I am in the fortunate position of being able to afford it for my Old Dear so that she could "enjoy" a better level of care when ill instead of being herded into cattle class with everyone else. The reality is that the £££££ you pay doesn't achieve any of that as 9 times out of 10 you're referred to the NHS system anyway so you're just getting the same treatment and rough man-handling as everyone else but paying through the nose for it. The only benefit seems to be the ability the jump the waiting list.k or they act dumb like they don't understand what it is.

Sorry buts that's rubbish. I've had three fairly minor ops in the last couple of years and didn't go anywhere near the NHS. Private hospital, own room, decent food- so no rough man- handling etc.The NHS is brilliant for a lot of the more serious stuff but, poor for a lot of elective treatment - wouldn't be without private medical insurance.

Ah well, as you're clearly the expert in such matters I will bow to your superior knowledge and you can tell me which private hospital in North Wales will do heart surgery, thanks.
Just had two knobs for the price of one (oo-er). Driving my missus car with her in the passenger seat on 2 lane dual carriageway and saw, in the rear view mirror, an AA van in the outside lane and a newish Astra make a deliberate undertaking move from behind him. Predictably, they both floor it, obviously 'racing' each other (Prost and Senna had nothing on these two) and the Astra ends up doing a seriously dodgy looking swerve at high speed from just behind me back into the outside lane after getting past the van. It was so close that I hastily moved closer to the side of the road to try and get the fk out of his way.
As the road went from 2 lanes to 1 lane, we were then treated to the two of them having a game of 'slow down, speed up, brake test, tailgate' with each other for a while, before I got fed up of watching them and stopped at a shop to get an ice-cream.
Just in case either of thes are on here (near Laleston in Bridgend), then can I just ask that next time you want to have a sad, juvenile, tragic and pointless little dick waving contest, you don't almost take my missus and myself out with you. Pricks.
