One single thing that makes you think "knob" Vol 4

[66mpg]

I was stuck for ages at the foot of an escalator because the sign said “Dogs must be carried on the escalator” and I didn’t have one.

Security guard at my local mall. Told my wife she couldnt enter because she was wearing 'flip flops'.
Since when does a jobsworth security tt decide what foot wear you are allowed in a mall.
They are Tommy Hilfiger and were bought from the Office shop inside the mall.
I can see myself having fun with this idiot.

Health and Safety, she drops a tin of Heinz Baked Beans on her foot and then sues the store for compensation.

Surely the next time he sees the security guard he just needs to get involved in a fight with him - just like the guy with the thread in SP&L

The owner of the Zafira, featuring this alloy, that parked next to me this afternoon:



Nicely buckled, tread past the limit and stickers over the rear window advertising "little angel on board", stick family, etc.

Yep, you must really care about your kid(s) driving around with a car & wheel in that condition

Might be wrong here, but isn't that a wheel trim over a steel wheel?

The wheel itself might be ok?

Doesn't excuse the baldy tyre, though.

Upon zooming, I can happily confirm the wheel itself is also fked.

Slow moving traffic earlier. I thought "Meh probably a caravan or tractor" nope it was a complete package with a Lightfoot sticker on the back of their people carrier.

I was hoping it was some kind of "How's my driving" kind of site but it's worse...

...see the sticker see a bell end.

Loads of cars had those economy lights in the eighties, the Maestro 1.3 HLE for example.

I'd love to have one of them in my car. It would probably be red all the time!

Do they get feedback from the unit? Could be worth a wind-up to get one!

Great for a track day or rally stage.

In my current car we get beeps when passing 30 /50 /70.

Slow moving traffic on the A5 between Shrewsbury & Oswestry last Sunday (40ish mph in an NSL). Of course, most of the muppets between me and the front of the traffic queue appeared unable to overtake, despite a very wide road with clear visibility. After a few overtakes, I passed the car that wouldn't exceed 40mph in the NSL...... a nice shiny BMW M4.. Seriously - this guy should have bought a Honda Jizz based on his driving style.

Some of our engineers have a similar system in their vans. Only theirs produce reports that a bonus is dependant on. It also flags up "dangerous" driving to their manager. It is impossible to pull onto a busy roundabout without at least an orange light going on.

Drivers who can't help but stray over the white line on A/B roads with oncoming traffic and nothing to overtake. Not sure if it's down to being on the road 4 hours per day but I never recall it being so bad. Given some of the models involved this can't be testing out the lane 'assist'

This. My journey to drop the kids off takes me down a couple of windy NSL roads and along a windy 30 road through a village. Not to mention the sharp S near a level crossing. On a daily basis someone is cutting the corner, crossing the centre line through sheer laziness, as it's often at low speed (ie through the village, which has spped bumps).

The frustrating thing is that in between clenching butt cheeks, squeezing left and avoiding the idiot there's no opportunity to register your displeasure with them, so chances are they don't know everyone else hates them.
What options are there, not to move and get hit then fight it out through insurance companies?

They probably are 'Straightliners' cutting the bends and curves in the road. Far too many of them around, a modern motoring menace. (But approved by some PHers, because the police and IAM say it's OK).

I'm sure the police and IAM don't say it's ok when there's a car in the other carriageway.

Exactly - Police and IAM also teach bikers to come out to the middle of the road before a bend so you can see further round it earlier.
Worth doing in a car as well.
You so the "straightliner" earlier and hopefully they look up from their phone and see you earlier as well.

Enrol your children in the local school and make them walk to school.

What's that you say? It's too far to walk to school? Buy a house nearer to the school then. Why did you buy one so far away?
