Here's a good one!!
Discussion
Arrived at my turn off on the A34 last night (Didcot) heading north. Filter off the d/c as normal and pull up at the roundabout in the right hand lane indicating to turn rignt.
As I get on to the roundabout I came across and Audi stopped in the outside lane in between the first and second exit dropping off his mate and saying goodnight!! I beeped at him and shook my head, to which he seemed genuinely shocked that I was upset with his ridiculous chosen stopping point. Could he not choose the fist exit pull over somewhere safe, drop his numpty mate of then execute a safe u turn????
Has the highway code stated evolving allowing a driver to do as he pleases??
Please can we have more police on the roads to arrest this idiots...
Thanks.

I recently had a similar thing happen, the lady in question had stopped to use her mobile!
Whilst I think that the fact she had not continued to drive whilst on the phone was laudable, perhaps she should have thought about the 'pull up somewhere safe' part of the advice a bit more!

edit for poor grammar!

Brilliant... I was a passenger in Birmingham a few months back in an area that all the kids drive BMW's and pimp-mobils.
Stopped at a set of traffic lights behind what looked like a drug dealers car. While waiting at the lights, a coloured guy walks up to the the car in front and starts a conversation with the driver. The lights changed to green, but the conversation with the car driver in front continued, even though he was at the front.
The lights changed to red and green again twice before we and the big queue of traffic behind finally got moving. Nobody sounded their horn or shouted due to probable risk of getting your windows smashed and throat cut or have your head blown off with a shotgun.

When I used to work for Surrey County Councils Highway Engineer Dpt we used to have to check dot matrix signs in the central reservation. Whilst doing this on one occassion a guy with car full of kids stopped in lane 3 to ask me for directions to Chessington World of Adventure. Answer "That way, now, really quickly."
