Felt I needed to say this as it has annoyed me greatly. I am a young driver myself but have had various quick cars (Impreza, Pulsar, 750il, GSI3000 amongst lots of hot hatches) I have taken my defensive driver course but have also learnt from my own stupid mistakes.
While on the way home from girlfriends house I drove through my local town centre to find a number of mopeds tailgaiting me, under taking me then while I stopped for some lights a lad even locked up and missed my Chim by inches, they all just laughed like this was normal! I then got followed by numerous Clios, Puntos and CTR's, again being tailgaited and pushing for races through the busy town centre! I Was horrified by their complete lack of driving skills so much so that I came home to avoid someone hitting my car!
I was young and used to sit in car parks talking to mates, and we all had quick cars but if we went for a play it was down back roads, certainly not through town! I certainly would of respected nice cars driving past.
Is this me getting old or just another sign this country is going down the pan and being over-ruled by chavs with not a police car in sight?
Rant over.

Country down the pan bud. 
Police will only target 'easy targets' now to get their points in.
Hard working normal people instead of the pricks who actually cause the accidents.
Tories won't be any different. There's no Blue or Red any more, it's all Purple.

Sometimes the Police do help. Yesterday I was coming off the M6 yesterday and a car came flying up the inside of the slip road then pulled in front of me to go right. I noticed a Police X5 behind him so as we approached the end of the sliproad I left enough space for the X5 to slip in front. Sure enough as they got around the corner he got nicked.

who think there all crackerjacks 
I was driving back from devon yesterday and got to say there are some prize plonkers on the roads, why can't people use there mirrors properly and why do they always cut in front of you nearly taking your nose off after overtaking you?
I also saw a few mopeds with "L" plates overtaking on corners through country roads. I can't see them lasting long if they do that too often.
Things do seem to be getting worse though.
