I've not got stats, but my skim reading would suggest that the difference between a full and empty petrol/diesel tank is much greater than between a charged and uncharged battery. More potholes ahead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure of the cost per delivery model associated with these drivers but id imagine they are underpaid for the service they perform for their overlords. It’s not an excuse to drive like a cnut but the time pressure must be horrendous and can only lead to such behaviour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2426255 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) never had any major issue with van drivers, buses, taxi's or emergency services or anyone else who uses the road for their occupation. It's always people in their personal cars that are c**t drivers imo. Edited March 21 by 2426255 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Got stuck behind a car yesterday afternoon which was doing 40 dropping to 30 on the open road, (50 even 60 is perfectly safe on this road), braking at every bend, braking whenever traffic came towards them (this was in daylight), and braking at every traffic hump. Just about let them away with that one, but the speed they were doing they hardly needed to. Absolute blood pressure inducing 5 minutes before they thankfully turned off in another direction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're never too old for road rage nonsense as our 14 year old grandson can attest, having witnessed numerous instances of my anger as he rides shotgun - he's starting to catch on himself now! Anyway, it's one of my few pleasures in life now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Bringing the 2 grandsons over this evening I noticed the amount of litter decorating the verges was horrendous, some folk are just tramps. Earlier I was parked in a car park and the number of people ignoring the one way system was astonishing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its of idiots who think someone else is at fault or absolutely minor or nonexistent issues. There's a channel on YouTube which is the UK equivalent. Folk with dashcams are amongst the worst offenders. It's as if they feel that having a camera means they can do no wrong. I used to work in insurance and it was unbelievable the amount of folk who would send in dashcam footage of an accident which showed they were the one at fault. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eez-eh Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Then there’s the ones who weren’t at fault to begin with but they take absolutely no evasive action to avoid an accident because they had right of way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
