Dangerous morons

[cirian75]

on the way to work

05.50

going down this road

up on the hill over the bridge on an S bend

come around the left hand blind curve to be confronted with this

https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&ll=53.377...

next to where the Ka is (was a mondeo today) is a plastic road barrier totally blocking the lane

car coming the over way, I stop easy as I was doing 30.

but anyone half awake or speeding with cars coming the over way could have issues, or if it was wet a motorcycle braking while still part leaned over could have been mega dangerous

I got around it and parked up just past it, walked back and move it on to the grass verge.

The lad on the scooter ahead of me must have had a nasty shock.

Sorry, but that's a built up area, with what looks to be a school etc.

Visibility looks pretty good to me, anyone who struggled to stop there is indeed a moron.

I am guessing its a 30 ?

I suspect the person who put the barrier up was someone tired of speeders.

I know you were going 30 but you need to be awake also.

[cirian75]

all points exactly correct.

it is a school.

and I was awake and doing 30 or less.


2 wrongs don't make a right though, the person who placed the barrier was foolish at best.

Well done for moving it though, how many drove round it ?.

The back of the Ka is still visible from the bridge https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&ll=53.377.... I don't see why anyone would get a nasty shock.

The cameras on a street view car is about twice as high as the drivers eyes so it might have been obscured from there but should be clear from just a few foot on. I agree, more than enough visibility for anyone below ludicrous speed.
