Guest Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Well done to the stupid middle aged woman hugging the white line so that two motorbikes couldn't filter through the stationary traffic, stupid cow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic Joe Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Is it just me, or has there been a steady increase in drivers flagrantly just breaking rules in the past few years? Jumping red lights, parking in disabled bays without a concession card, stopping in hatched areas, ignoring zones for cyclists at traffic lights. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH33 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Parking is a bit limited in my street. Houses built 50 years ago when cars less common. Yet the BMW always feels the need to take two spaces. I parked my car in front when I returned. As close as I could. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 I had a real experience of an often mentioned driving cliche the other day. Behind a car on the 60mph section of Belssdyke Road down to Skinflats. Did 38 the whole way. Kept that up all the way through the 30 at Skinflats, then a slight increase to 40 right tgroight Grangemouth. Bell end. And to add to this, a council van clearly irate at this, placed itself about a car length if that off my rear bumper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, From my flat I can watch can watch delivery vehicles, post office vans, geoamey vehicles for the courts, taxis and general cars ignore no entry signs on a one way street multiple times a day, even passing police police cars coming up the hill the correct way, without reaction from the Police. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our nearest town (population 4,220) has 2 mini roundabouts, one of which has yellow hatching, 3 sets of traffic lights (all 3 with pedestrian crossings), 1 zebra crossing and innumerable sleeping policemen. Needless to say, the majority of drivers have no idea how to use the roundabouts and pretend the hatching doesn't exist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needless to say, the majority of drivers have no idea how to use the roundabouts and pretend the hatching doesn't exist. I'm racking my brains but can't think of any roundabouts (circles to us enlightened folk) in the city itself but we have one in our community which folk use loosely at the best i.e. they will go around it whatever way is quickest! Sleeping policeman were a recent addition in our area and they are effective - too effective if that's possible as many taxi drivers with busted exhausts will testify. To be fair, they are almost invisible at night as the yellow paint they use is as cheap as it gets and fades quickly in our environment. I don't drive here because it's genuinely baffling and the basic rule is the biggest car has priority - there is no such thing as a car without a scratch/bump/dent etc. 50% of drivers have no licence and likely more have no insurance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie McSquackle Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 I've noticed a thing recently, particularly with temporary traffic lights at roadworks, where the lights change to road, car stops at the lights and the car behind them pulls out and drives through the red light. Obviously assuming there's enough of a gap between the lights turning to green at the other end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
