A slight rant

[Mr Darcy]

Dear drivers of cars,

Do you drive towards a vehicle at night with your full beams on? No I bet you fking don't do you, well some of you might but your just a thick arse tt that considers your view of the road ahead of you far more important that the person driving towards you. Anyway I digress, if you are one of the conisderate ones that dip your lights then why the fk don't you do it when you see a fella walking his dog late at night in the complete darkness? Do you think I like being blinded? Do I look like I enjoy it when my temporary blindness means I blunder into overhanging bushes, tripping up over branches and ending in a heap with a scatty dog jumping around me. Well I sodding well don't you cock! Even the smegging dog hides behind me when you do this. I mean, for fks sake, will it really hurt you do dip your lights when you see people walking along the path? Will you suddenly crash? No you pissing will won't you full beam driving dipst! Show some fking consideration please otherwise next time a can of fking red bull might be winging its way towards you.

Thanks

A blind Mr Darcy

Can't you just wear those bad-boy photochromatic sunglasses?

Or, you could just look to one side briefly like any sane human would do.

HTH

Sunglasses.

When running in winter along dark roads I often have the same problem. Of course, putting a hand up to block the direct light helps, and in very bad cases I stop and turn my head aside. Not a major issue for me.

If it's dark then what's to say the other driver can see you?

Oh now here's a new game. How many people can you make fall over in to a bush by blinding them.

7/10, not enough swearing.

[Mr Darcy]

Somtimes I do sheild my eyes but I always dip my lights when I see people on the pavement perhaps I am being too considerate. Oh well you live and learn.

I wear a bright red North Face coat, if you can't see that in your lights then perhaps you shouldn't be driving.

I think that a measured and considered approach would be to 'tool up' and smoke those punks next time.

While I'm at it- 6/10. Not nearly offensive enough.

[Evil.soup]

Funny as fk!!!!! All i can see in my mind is the OP stumbling through the bushes with blind dog in toe!!

It happens to me during winter when i am out running but as long as you look down for a second all is well. I think it makes more sence for the full beam to stay on really, if the dude didnt need it i guess it wouldnt be on in the first place and better he sees you than runs over your foot;)

7/10, only because it is a valid point, needs more , also specifics about the car involved, the dog, the road and some pictures.

For added bonus points a rant about how the BiB did nothing about it.

Only way to get 10/10 would be if you threw the red bull at the car and posted a picture of your OH holding a tin of custard next to the squashed red bull can!

Better Luck Next Time!
