Boring new cars that bleed money and fail to be fun, luxury or interesting. I find it very strange.

The number of people with blue badges who park everywhere and hardly any of them appear to have any disabilty!
Theres a chap in a BMW covertable (with a blue badge and free tax )who parks near my work place most days (for free) gets out fine , walks with his clubs to the golf course, has a round and still looks fit as a fiddle on his return!
If there that easy to get, think i'll apply!!

Also, drivers reluctance to overtake nowadays.

I've seen quite a few of these holding up traffic as they pootle along. Fair enough not to use them on busy pavements but I've witnessed fair sized queues behind them...I haven't seen one pull over!

To give the users' credit, I can imagine it's difficult knowing whether to use the pavement or not in many scenarios.

You're only allowed to travel at 4mph on a pavement in a mobility scooter, but you can travel at 8mph on the road.

Used to see Lord Bath hitchhiking quite frequently 10-20 years ago. Gave him a lift back to Longleat quite a few times. Fascinating and eccentric chap.

I've never seen a Honda Jazz driven like the owner knows or cares what they're doing.
