Sorry but I'm not trying to slag of younger drivers, but, here's my story for today.

I pulled in to my local Tesco forecourt to fill up with 99. I looked to my right and noticed a red Rover 400 parked alongside me who had already filled up with fuel. Holding on to the pump my eyes spotted that the Rover only had 3 wheel nuts on the front passengers wheel. This concerned me and as a good citizen I thought I would let the driver know when he / she returned to the car. Time passed, Still holding onto the pump, £45 later my eyes wondered more into the car and around the passenger side, tyres and all that. Oh dear, what a fking death trap, is the driver some kind of fking idiot ?, apart from 3 nuts on the front wheel and with deflated tyres on the front and rear, there was a male passenger with a hoodie on and two girls seated in the rear. Still holding on to the pump £60 odd later (slight cramp by now) I noticed a chap leave the forecourt shop and approach the cars.. One look was enough, He looked like he had not slept for a week.. Ah this must be the owner I thought.. By fk I was right, as he approached his car, my hand was still pumping gas.. I shouted over and said 'Yo, you only have 3 wheel nuts holding your front wheel on and your tyres are quite deflated. There is a good chance your wheel will come off, are you aware of that'. still pumping gas at £68 I had to prise my hand of the pump. He replied from a sleepy state 'yeah, I know'.

fk me, nor wonder youngsters get killed on the road with that kind of attitude. The attitude completely sucked, to me it seemed like fk everbody if I'm gonna die then I will kill my mates and innocent people too.

I await the headlines for tomorrow.

I know your pain about hand cramps and tesco 99 laugh

Sounds like a fairly typical yoof who has to charge his passengers petrol money to be able to drive around town to impress them.

Absolutely.

I don't think that is a view (to cars) that is exclusive to youngsters either! wink

someone I know had a combo van (4 stud hubs) which was wearing a 5 stud wheel with two bolts through original bolt holes and one bolt through a homemade hole. For the sake of a what, a tenner at a breakers yard.

I'm 19, I can assure you that not all youngsters are anything like that, just a small minority.

On the contrary, I was speaking to a lovely middle aged man yesterday, who has no licence, insurance or tax and still drives a car (not registered to himself).

dheads come in all age groups!

Probably wasnt insured, taxed or motd, coming to an episode of Road Wars near you.

Suspect that the general state of it probably wont cause the accident, the fact that they may be off their tits on whatever and drive like a twunt may be the cause, most likely scenario is the Police catch pull them and confiscate it and they go and buy another old snotter.

I too am 19 and I take care over my car. I worked hard to get my licence and to afford a decent car. Being at college there are a lot of people that don't give monkey over their cars or driving and other like me who dirve safely.

It's people mentioned by the OP that make the majority of young peoples insurance high as they drive in a death trap or like they want to be dead by christmas.

Whats so bad about the 99 pumps? Only owning a 1.4 206 plus i avoid tesco fuel like the plauge unless its my only source ive never used them.

Also not all "youngsters" are like this one. Another classic case of one does something negative and we all get tarred with the same brush. No praise for anythign postive we do. I know one of my tyres is getting very low on tread. So not using the cr much at the moment to keep the miles down on it. Cant really afford a new tyre at the moment so debating if i just keep journeys down to neccesitys only and wait till i have some income. Or if i use the last of my money and put a piece of recycled chinese manufactured chewing gum on it.
