Silvio Tattiescone Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I'm convinced the planners took the hump when their charging zone scheme got knocked back by the voters and they've been taking it out on motorists ever since. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eatmygoal Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Just went on a short walk through town, during which I've seen two cars parked at the side of the road engines running with the driver nowhere to be seen. I assume in the shop they were parked next to. I'm not that familiar with stealing a car, but do surely all I'd have needed to do was jump in and drive off? What makes it worse is both had kids in the back, probably around 5-7 years old. Is this normal behaviour? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't see don't fucking drive. Those guys are dangerous - eventually you realise what they're doing and if you can you leave enough space between you and them to accommodate their capers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Brazil Forever Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Glenrothes heaving Plus today with no parking places available, horrendous queues of cars, buses, delivery vehicles and bikes. Lots of bad tempered drivers around and precious little Christmas cheer. Happy New Year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't see don't fucking drive. I followed a c**t like that from Bathgate to Linlithgow last night on the road through Beecraigs. 4 times he stopped completely when a car was coming the other way and slowed to less than 10 mph on every bend - c**t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 So went back my usual route from work which takes me through Fort Kinnaird, well didn't I forget about Christmas, standstill for miles adding 30 minutes onto my commute. Stupid c**t me for forgetting about arsehole Christmas shoppers leaving everything to the last second and causing carnage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginaro Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 (edited) 22 hours ago, tamthebam said: There never was a crossing at that point in the road, it was along a bit. And my memory of that junction goes back 40 years. Indeed there was a fence stopping pedestrians crossing there. It's almost as if the traffic planners of decades ago knew what they were doing. Yeah it was a big roundabout and a 100m detour to use the crossing to the east on London Road if you wanted to continue down Leith Walk. Fortunately traffic planners and the council have attempted to move on since the days when cars were king, with pedestrians now at the top of the transport hierarchy. Also, fences/guard railing is no longer recommended. Edited December 22, 2022 by Ginaro 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
