I tend to be in shorts from April onwards outside work. As long as it's above freezing legs don't get cold.

I lay off the flip flops though.

Annoyance number 3:

Where I live, there's a ridiculous amount of speed bumps, and whenever I come down the road, there is always someone who thinks they need to brake to under 10mph for each one, they will then speed up for about 25 metres before slamming on the brakes again.
This is what my mum does in her Fiesta.

I sound my horn for each one. Well if the road really is that dangerous. wink

Two idiots, one in a mini and one in a vectra who decided to road rage on a 60 road (didn't see what started it) and thought it would be a great idea to stop on a blind corner get out and start arguing. Cars coming the other was couldn't see them until they had to slam on As other cars were trying to pass. Both need a driving ban imo.

All the knobs on the M8 this morning who decided that the police car with the blues and two's going was to be ignored and would not move over to L1 and let it past.

What hope has joe public got of getting past these folk if they won't move over for a police car?
Police car had to use the hard shoulder to get past them.

The knob in the X5 today using his horn repeatedly.

At the hospital.

Maybe its my age, but there used to be signs at hospitals not to use your horns. It's just impolite.

I've made a radical realisation.

There are only two types of driver on the road in the UK.

Those who can count as high as two and those who are too thick.

If you can not understand the basic principal of the two second rule or are incapable of counting as high as two then the rest of the highway code/road traffic act is beyond your comprehension and you are a liability.

I drove in Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Suffolk, Northamptonshire and Lincolnshire today and every singe tailgater I observed did something later to prove my point.

Tailgater on the A47 headed west failed to stop at a roundabout and nearly had a collision.
Tailgater on the A10 nearly his a cyclist because they were so close to the vehicle ahead they failed to see it.
Tailgater on the A134 decided to overtake on a blind bend and traffic coming the other way had to take to the grass verge to avoid a head on collision.
Tailgater on the A134 Bury road. Was so busy not paying attention they darted across two lanes of traffic to get to a turn off.
Tailgater on the A14 pulled out to overtake without looking or signaling and nearly took me out.
Tailgater on the A14 cut a truck up to make a turn off and the truck had to lock up the trailer wheels to avoid it.
Tailgater on the A428 cut across in front of a car and nearly hit a motorcycle that was ahead of the car he cut up.
Tailgater on the A1198 jumped a red light further down the road and nearly hit a road worker.
Tailgater on the A14 had to stamp on the brakes in the right hand lane to pull in behind a truck and only just made the exit by cutting someone up already on the slip road.
Tailgater on the A1(M) pulled out to overtake so quickly they nearly lost control of their Luton van and ended up in lane one after darting out to lane three.
Tailgater on the A1(M) too busy on the phone to notice the fully liveried Police car behind them....


...and so on.

Look out for it yourself. The next time you see a tailgater they are about to do something stupid almost every time.

Do you not understand the rules of driving these days? It's all about ME! ME! ME! Everyone else, including the Police, will move and not inconvenience ME! I'm very important because I have a premium car and an iPhone 7 Plus. What can the Police be doing that warrants such behaviour? It can't be important because it doesn't affect ME!

(Of course if something happens to ME! I will be screaming blue murder at why the Police aren't attending ME! in 10 nanoseconds).

Don't. I saw a Police van behind me the other day about 5 cars back, people were pulling over and I did too, I pulled over an empty entrance to a supermarket. Vauxhall behind me didn't notice anything and overtook me when I was pulled left to let the Police go, then slowed next to me LOOKING AT ME as he went past like I was stupid and then slowed even more to turn right but couldn't turn immediately because of traffic so blocked the Police van. WHO WAS ON FULL LIGHST AND SIRENS. I couldn't believe it. People are either blind or selfish.

I have mentioned this junction on here before but i could not believe people were still doing this.
Barton hill drive junction with the lower road on the isle of Sheppey.Right turns at this junction have been
prohibited at this junction since October 2016 yet the other day i saw a woman turn right from the lower road
into Barton hill drive.Now you may say so what?but to do this she had to drive around the barriers which actually
block the access to Barton hill drive and then back the way she came albeit only a couple of feet to go where
she wanted rather than follow the diversion.

Woman in a white Focus on the M4 this morning.

She had a metallic blue phone case and had stuck her phone on the screen adjacent to the rear view mirror.

Every time the sun caught the phone case, you got a flash of blue. I backed off and let her overtake before realising she was Walting.

The person in the Vektra estate who just had to squeeze past me on a narrow lane this morning. I was on my bike.
We were 50m from a T-junction.
He / she turned left at the junction then, 20m up the road, turned into a drive.

Knob.

Similar thing happened on today's ride. Approaching my village, there's a few cones around a drain on the opposite side. 2 cars can squeeze past but many wait. I'm approaching (it's on the opposite side), a woman in a Corsa has to overtake, goes very wide past me then cuts in because of the cones, forcing cars in the opposite direction to stop.

20m after the cones she turned left into a residential cul de sac.

Clearly an emergency bag of shopping she needed to get home.

The in a piece of ste audi a3 today. Piece of land everyone parks on for alot of the nearby buildings (people come and go constantly). Cars are all round the edge then people normally fit 8 cars in the middle - 3 on each side and 2 in the middle row as they cant get out if not. Doesnt fking matter to piece of st audi driver, straight in behind me to box me in. Normally wouldnt be a problem but I didnt bring a lunch so wanted to go out.... Reckon if he does it again I just reverse into him and push, looks like someone else already has though so maybe he doesnt learn.

Have no idea what that guy has meant to have done but if he has bought the car I fail to see how he isnt allowed to do whatever he wants to it.

On top of that:

He drove the car at 20 mph in to a public park (on to the grass) using only his feet and grinding the gears. Then acts like a dick on the public road too.
