Subject: RE: BS: Car parking in the UK - an observation
Dont get me started!
OK. I'll start.
Parking.
Both men & women. Reversing out of car parks. Idiots!
Use of indicators.
Both men & women. Have not the foggiest idea. WHY THE HELL DO THEY INDICATE RIGHT when approaching a roundabout, then go straight across the damn thing, drive on for another hundred yards THEN CANCEL THE INDICATOR. Idiots!
Making a right turn.
Both men & women. Block the whole lane, rather than moving toward the centre & allowing others to pass. Idiots!
Moving off from traffic lights. Mostly women. Waiting til the lights are
extremely GREEN (about ten seconds from actually going green) before selecting gear, releasing handbrake, checking make-up in mirror, moving slowly off, thereby allowing maybe two whole vehs to get through the lights before they go to extreme red (way past amber, more like scarlet) Idiots!
Parking with headlights on.
Both sexes. Usually on the wrong side of road, thereby blinding oncoming motorists. Idiots!
Fog lights.
Both sexes. Usually still switched on a week after it was foggy.
(Fog lights are nearly always more of a hazard than the fog anyway)
Idiots!
PM me and I will carry on using a seperate page!
Idiots!!!!
Hrrmmmmmph.
Oh yes, not forgetting failing to give way to buses indicating to leave stops, doing absolutely anything to get in front of the bus, not giving a wide enough berth to buses negotiating tight bends/roundabouts etc, parking on bus stops, taxi drivers picking up/setting down at bus stops, folk hanging round bus stops when they dont want the bus, stopping the bus to enquire how long the next bus will be - THIRTY BLOODY FOOT LADY, SAME LENGTH AS THIS ONE!!!
Idiots!
