I find any stupor market to be the usual mixed relationship thing. Handy for having most things under one roof and often with other suppliers in situ, however, the very real threat of the sub neanderthal types makes any visit a real chore.

Nobhead in a British Gas van last night. Pulled out in front of traffic going both ways, got in the wrong lane at roundabouts, where he also didn't bother indicating, broke the speed limit, went around a width restriction when he was supposed to stop and did some tailgating for good measure. I think the prick got the full set in the space of a couple of miles!

Just remembered that the other night (about half six, so properly dark) I saw a black Audi A6 that only had a single foglight working on the front as its lighting. No headlights, no sidelights and no taillights. I was gawping with incredulity in my RVM at it when the driver braked and only one of three brake lights came on. Fuck me!

The HGV driver that managed to roll his wagon on the roundabout in front of Hasda today. I wonder how much trade they lost due to that.

A litte conftontation this morning with a dickhead from the village who failed to stop at the zebra crossing during the walk back from school. OK, so legally, you must only stop once a pedestrian sets foot on the crossing but deliberately driving over it as someone is about to step onto it is gittish in the extreme. He then dived across the road into a large space to park as someone else was signalling to pull left into it. The space was also the bus stop, so extra git points. Then, after "some words" he pulled up next to me further down the road and had another go whilst his missus took a photo. This prick parks within the zigzags most days, too.
The council may as well take that crossing out. I've never known such a widely ignored zebra crossing as that one. Especially on the school run.

Are you not able to pull your warrant card from your pocket at such times?

Three neds in an old diesel four pot, churning out black cloud and weaving about, barging in, cutting people up etc. A great pleasure to dust them at the lights, and the flash from them seemed to indicate some displeasure. Tough.

Tough. They might have been appreciative. I dusted two neds in a quick Seat Leon and when they eventually came past me at warp speed the passenger had 2 thumbs up (at least I think they were thumbs)

Fucking tractors. "Ooh lets go out on the road during the morning rush hour and ignore every opportunity to pull over and let the huge tailback past". Tossers.
Also useless arseholes who, when presented with a tractor doing 25mph and an empty straight are unable to summon the courage to overtake. At least this morning's useless twat signalled their inability by sitting at least 10 car lengths behind said tractor but clearly there were other similarly useless twats behind them. There's not much you can do when you're the 15th car (yes, I counted!) in the queue because apart from the gap right behind the tractor everyone else is following too closely.

Knobhead in a Peugeot van decided to overtake me on the bypass yesterday morning despite the reason for me doing only 50mph was because that was the speed the line of traffic we were in was going and the oncoming traffic made overtaking somewhat dangerous. He pulled off the maneuver less than 200 yards from the roundabout the car in front of me was about to brake for meaning he also had to brake sharply and cut in front. Along the next stretch there was also oncoming traffic all the way so he spent it sat on the bumper of the car in front of me essentially gaining one car place in a line of traffic whilst endangering other road users.

Had WVM pull straight out in front of me at a roundabout this morning. As it was quiet and there was nothing coming the other way he soon had the unexpected pleasure of listening to 5 cylinders giving him a carbon shower.

Had exactly the same thing this morning. Different van, different roundabout, same result. This time, though, there were two cars ahead of the van, so they got showered, too. I'm going to avoid roundabouts on the way home tomorrow morning!
Onto some others now. Dodgy numberplate lights. Saw two in a short space of time earlier, one was a car with aftermarket LEDs that were so bright it was like it had DRLs on the rear of the car and the second was a pick up where they'd changed them for ultrabright red LEDs. Both plates were totally unreadable.

I upgraded mine to LEDs, which are standard on the Golf. In fact, they are Golf lights. Then you code them to the car and can dim them to the right level.

A cyclist, last night, as I was about to step off the kerb in the local town approached at high speed with no lights on. If he hadn't been on a mountain bike/hybrid with noisier tyres I would've stepped out in front of him and due to his speed been hit. No doubt if he gets hit by a car it'll be their fault though!

Plenty of two-wheeled psychos in our local city yesterday afternoon. Clearly a few feel that they own the shared spaces.

If you're carrying a golf umbrella you can pop it through the spokes as you step forward. Rather destroys your umbrella but they're cheap and the laughs last for ages.

I nearly got mown down for a second time the other night by some twat on an electric scooter. They're absolutely silent and do about 15mph. This teenage dick was piloting it on the pavement and shot past me and the dog and the first we knew of his presence was as he went past. He then proceeded to ride along the road, dressed all in black with no lights.
