A school boy who chucked a large tree branch onto a dual carriageway.
I heard this thud and saw his mate retrieve it before I had to go back and do it myself.
Luckily no traffic passing but there soon would have been.
It would have been too large to drive over,could have caused all sorts of mayhem.

The dog turd chomping, kitty fiddling half blind anal probe of a driver of a white Discovery last night. I was about where the camera is here having just overtaken a Polo a bit further back and slowing for the roundabout up ahead.

Said Discovery was sat waiting and I could see them from further up the road and had they pulled out when I first clamped eyes on them there wouldn't have been a problem. You know when you just get that feeling when someone is about to do something bloody stupid? Well that was the gut feeling I got and as I approached lo and behold they started pulling out. I did a quick swerve around them and I'll be damned if I know how I didn't take off the nose of the bloody thing, I must've been a matter of inches, half a foot at most, away from them. The adrenaline/shock only really hit me after I got home.

A little less hair raising, and more of an 'Are people bloody idiots?' moment. A minor fender bender at the A19/A689 interchange caused absolute chaos. This isn't about them though (but how the hell does one, ostensibly straight bit of dual carriage, have so many accidents?) but about the idiots who, regardless of the lack of space, pull out across the line of traffic (fine the lights are green to them) and blocking the flow off the interchange to the A689 when the lights go green on the A689. This causes gridlock on the interchange because you've got vehicles coming off the A19 wanting to go down the A689, vehicles on the same road wanting to carry on down the A689 so you've got vehicles backed up around the roundabout because they can't go anywhere and the domino effect takes place created gridlock and, because you've got traffic backed up on to the A19 creating tailbacks which causes even more accidents further up the A19 (judging by the quantity of flashing blue lights I saw haring northwards).

I think we should have a sub section so we can see who can come up with the most outrageous, ridiculous insult when describing the person they are reporting as a knob.

Twunt.


Back on topic. As part of a job interview yesterday I had to drive a large van around Peterborough. As well as kamikaze pedestrians I was getting so many weird looks for using indicators and stopping for lights it made me reconsider accepting the job offer. wink

The A19 is the Jekyll and Hyde of roads, anywhere near the rush hours it's a clusterf*ck, but during the night and at quiet times it's an absolute breeze.

Heading out of the region, I have direct links with both the A1(M) and the A19, and nine times out of ten, I'll take the A19.

Twunt.

With all your experience in this thread you must be able to think of something better and more original than that smile

I go over it every day and on those occasions that I'm stopped by the lights at rush hour (homeward bound) I take a quick gander down and do the old sucking through the teeth at the nose to tail traffic. Mind you even at half seven in the morning it's not too different, worse still when the new damned lights at Wolviston, which weren't needed (and give me certain urges in regards to thermite grenades and control boxes/power supplies wink ), screw up and cause five mile tail backs on the A19 (the last time it took me over an hour to do 0.7 of a mile before I could hightailed it off up the A19 to Elwick).

That's a rubbish junction, I agree. I most often use the stretch between Shields and Peterlee but I've been caught in the nightmare at Wolviston a few times.

I once managed to get from Osmotherley to Testo's in 25 minutes on the A19 in the early hours hehe

People that over exaggerate about everyday situations.

Especially when it’s something they haven’t actually done themselves in truth.

They were probably the same kids at school who insisted their parents had a different coloured Bentley for every day of the year.

The time wasting censoredcensoredcensored twunting censoredcensoredcensored twuntbag who ended an eBay listing for an MGB I was the winning bidder on at £2,800 with a day and bit to go. Only to then send me a message saying he wants £5,000 for the car.

The car is well worth five grand though. I may need to set up a new account if it comes up again. hehe

I typed all the censored as I didn't want the Pistonheadsbot to melt.

Some scumbum who didn't clear up after their dog means I have tyres and wheel arches covered in poo after taking to the grass verge to allow a tractor and wide trailer by.

Woman in a burgundy C-Max yesterday on the Burpham to A3 slip road, as seems to be common now on sliproads she was pootling along in L2 at a leasurely 45 showing no intention to either speed up or move to L1.

I undertook and sped up so as to join the A3 at an appropriate speed, I joined and moved to L2 as there were the usual L1 dawdlers, I look in my mirror and I see the C-Max motoring, she then pulls into L3, overtakes me and pulls in across me straight to L1, slows down so I end up going past her, with her hand up to her side window giving me the finger and then takes the next junction.

Very odd!
