Allan Jacobsen Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 All year round we moan about people using fog lights when they're not needed. Today, when it's a real pea souper not only do most folk not have them on, but some roasters don't have any lights on at all! I'm convinced most drivers are morons and it's a miracle I make it home every day. It amazes me how many drivers 'forget' to put their lights on. It will be limited visibility and there will be some idiot driving without lights on. Just because they can see does not mean that others can see you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugster Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I just went and bought a new pakora party pack and will have it tonight. Easier than defrosting etc. I will defrost the one in the freezer when I have more time and plan a bit better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm convinced most drivers are morons and it's a miracle I make it home every day. I'm 100% convinced the standard of driving is going way downhill since I passed my test in 2001. Whether this is the fault of shitey driving instructors, pensioners who refuse to stop driving even though they should or the influx of foreigners thinking it's ok to drive here the way they do back home I've no idea. All I know is I'm getting a dash cam and I will be soon shaming all the arseholes of Falkirk who fill my trips with fear.

A suitable alternative, but P&B wants to know - sausages or no sausages? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as soon as she realised that there was no top flight games today, it was arranged that we'd meet her mum for lunch and I had no excuse to avoid it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambomo Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I'm 100% convinced the standard of driving is going way downhill since I passed my test in 2001. Agreed. My boyfriend and i were driving up from Peebles today and saw shitloads of terrible driving (not just from him either!). The worst was when waiting to turn right at a busy junction, there was a VW people carrier in front of us and first of all he drove so far out he was almost in the middle of the road then, obviously realising this was quite a stupid thing to do, he started reversing but kept going until we blasted the horn to let him know we were there when he was almost touching our bumper. He then turned and almost hit a wee lad on a bike because the road wasn't actually clear. Absolute fucking idiot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swordfishtrombone Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Nobody indicates anymore. This would be allright if Falkirk wasn't made up of mini roundabouts. People take the first exit without signalling left which leaves you waiting to see where they are going and halting you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much everyone coming up Grahams road and turning left don't indicate. If that isn't bad enough nearly everyone going straight up the town signals right Ignoring the fact their is a street and an actual right turn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 When you're watching something on sky sports 1 for a while before realising it's on mix. Too much time spent watching standard definition for no reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will see more bad driving there than anywhere else in Scotland. People ignore 1 way driving signs, pull out directly in front of you at junctions so you have to slam on the brakes. If it's busy I'll pay to park at Grahamston Station then cross the road just to avoid the bad driving.

Parking spaces , meaning either reversing out of or in to the roundabout. Just up from it school with cars parked on road meaning its single file from one exit for around quarter mile during school run time. Have a look on Google maps Oh and best of all the police station is located at the roundabout too Edited January 8, 2017 by Willie adie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
