I can get pissed off with many things myself on the road but that Stirling road back towards Balloch has umpteen opportunities to overtake safely, there was no need for his aggression in my opinion, especially on a quiet Sunday afternoon. ^^^ Sunday driver. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when they all 'form a queue' leaving no spaces for those who want to make progress overtake. Or when they brake for a corner you could safely negotiate at 80. No need for horn tooting or aggression but please, just give us a little room. We'll be out yer way soon enough. It's not about 'time' for me, it's just I like to drive at 60 (ish officer ) when conditions permit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Jacobsen Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 1 hour ago, TheScarf said: To be fair, doing 45 in a 60 should be punishable by death. You can see why the guy was pissed off. Worse are people who do 45 in a 60 and then as soon as they hit a 30mph zone, they're still doing 45. Just no road awareness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately that thought didn't cross my mind. Looking back on it, I'm ashamed I passed up that chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting lives at risk for that is completely pointless. Very much this. I've driven Plymouth to Dumfries a few times coming back from Brittany and the difference between absolutely bombing it and sticking ( more or less within limits ) was only about 30/45 minutes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Ted Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I was driving home from St. Andrews on Sunday and when I got just past Stirling I ended up behind a wee old lady in a Mini. She was going about 45mph on a 60 but I knew it was only a few hundred yards to the next straight which I could overtake, so just sat biding my time. There was some impatient arsehole in a Land Rover behind me who was beeping his horn every 3 seconds. Sure enough we turn the corner into the next straight and it's clear, I look in my mirror and the p***k behind me has already moved out and is still beeping his horn as he drove past both of us. I had a wee chuckle to my self 5 minutes later when I caught up with him and he was stuck behind a tractor. I don't know why folk must go everywhere so fast, unless you're travelling hundreds and hundreds of miles then speeding realistically only saves you a few minutes at most. Putting lives at risk for that is completely pointless. I travel in the Borders a lot, and some things you see on the roads down there is somewhere between lunacy and suicide. Better to be late than dead Ps The Land Rover driver is obviously a thunderc**t of the highest order. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kincardine Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 The cash-point at High Wycombe station has options that include: "Check Balance and Cash" and "Cash Only" if you choose the latter it then asks if you want to check your balance. No I fucking don't - that's why I chose the 'cash only' option. Heads should roll for this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugster Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Yes! This drives me bonkers too! No I don't want a receipt because I didn't select that option and no I don't want to check my balance because I didn't select that option either! Fucking disgrace! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
