THE BLOODY THING ARE DANGEROUS.

was coming down the dule carage way to day.

muppet in frount of me sees it thinks it a scammer van.

stands on the brakes so hard his tires are smoking

prick

having said that the scammeers have got the average muppet so scared of getting mugged, that they cant drive safely any more.


How long before some one dies because of this madness.

yes, I could advoid him and slow

but some one less experianced than most of us

ie another average nummptie behind him and It could have easyly been a fatal there.


But hey at least the would have colected a few miss road taxed disks and the scammers will have colected
some more cash.

who care I a few die in the prosses in the name of Road safety.

Yes, an idiot to slam of the brakes like that. I often get stuck behind drivers who are on the limit, but still slow even more when they encounter a camera!

Warning thread hijack.

Just had to smile how things have changed. Smile is perhaps the wrong word except in an ironic sense.

When I were a lad on the limit meant.... well you know, harry flatters, on the ragged edge, balls out, nay even flat in fourth (didn't have five speeds then

but today...........

This is really annoying. Shows how people do not know the speed limit of the road they are driving on. Their natural reaction is to slam on the brakes as they are probably speeding and better to be safe than sorry etc.

Had a bunch of numpties on the A322 going North towards Bracknell last Friday do this. Derestricted Dual Carriageway. Van clearly visible. Near a spot where a PHer recently go run off the road (I think I can still see his skidmarks) so can't complain about accident hotspots. Anyway, everyone was slowing to 60mph. These people obviously did not know their highway code. This was not a last minute 'oops a just spotted it' Tallivan. Grrr. Nearly caused several accidents in the 2 mins I was in the vicinity. Safety camera? I don't think so. We need to educate drivers more!

Roadrage, if your incident could have been a fatal, just how fast were you going and what was the limit?

in the ouside lane of a dule carage way doing about 70 or so

he dident slow he tryed to stand the car on it front
end. ie a nice emergency stop in from 80 pluss to about 10

I left plenty of space a nummptie woulddent have and was in a position to stop if need be.

my point being the average nummptie would have piled in to the back of him like the two fool behind me naraly missed doing.

Probably the most annoying thing ever!

Nothing worse than someone slowing down to 20 whilst going past a Gatso - Numpties, I sh*t 'em!
