Rant - Bloody neighbours driving too fast on driveway

[EternalOptimist]

No names for my cars. That would be just silly.

I saw a documentary once about a bloke who gave his car a name
'Genevieve' I think he called it

[Scoobos]

I'm with you, idiots.

The bigger the vehicle the bigger the ijit too, with my neighbours.

[OwlHoot]

I read this half a dozen times.

is the sun over the yard arm where you are ?

_You're_ confused? - I speed read "a bit dull" as "a pit bull".

So Trevor is a car, a cat, _and_ a dangerous dog!

I drive a 4x4 and delight in (Almost) pulling out into the path of idiots racing to and from the village past my house. some of the regular offenders now slow down going past my house.

My other pet hate is people who are too stupid, ignorent or lazy to use their indicators. I also deliberately pull out on them on roundabouts. I actually did it by accident to a police car (unmarked) just before Xmas. the nice (very young) officer pulled me over and the conversation went something like this;

P. Could you not see us sir, is there something wrong with your eyesight?
Me. You were indicating Left which I took to mean you were getting off at the exit before me.
P. I was not indicating at all.
Me. ah! so you admit that you failed to indicate, thus almost causing an accident?
P. That is not what I said.
Me. Yes it was, and my phone is on record, so I suggest you arrest me now or ticket me and we will pursue this in court.
P. I Intend to deal with this in the way of a roadside caution. I suggest that you drive a little more carefully in future sir.
The End

Not to say I wasn't (oooer!) bottling it when they pulled me over, but I still have a clean license

Isn't in the HW code not to base your driving on whether the other car's indicators are signalling?

[KentPhilip]

Playing devil's advocate a little here, if all cars drove slowly past schools, then won't children will get the erroneous belief that cars are cute cuddly slow things that do no harm.

And when they leave school they'll get run over by one doing normal speed because they haven't experience of the dangers.

Correct. I just don't like the lazy ignorent useless fwitted numptys that shouldn't be behind the wheel of a car, they should be under it

No because even at 20mph getting hit by one will hurt.

[EternalOptimist]

Didn't C4 broadcast a version of that with a cheesegrater some years ago?

I'd make them choose

[Old Hack]

Dont get me wrong - I'm not one of these stick to 70mph on the motorway blah blah blah people. It just seems to be obvious that its not cool to mule it around a cul-de-sac at 8-30am in the morning when theres kids walking to school etc. Dont these people even think about that?

I cycled with the kids to school this morning and this fecking toe rag came around the corner on his door handles, then had the abs doing a shoe shine shuffle. Gave him the bird. MAde sure I banged the bike into his door mirror the twat.

Idiots some people, with no more thought than a rat.
