Hohum Oct 2014 10:24pm, 22 Oct 2014 2,652 posts	Quote Pin Hohum This week it has been tractors, every fecking day on the main road, sometimes as many as six doing FA miles an hour on the main road, want to let any of the 30 or more cars stuck behind you pass? No, want to pull in on any of the passing places? like f**k. And then i get to Shrewsbury where no fecker has the capability to drive sensibly, it's either mach ten, or stopping at every cats eye to make sure the road eight miles a - fecking - head is clear. tomorrow I have to go into work in the rush hour, oh dear. Calmness .........

old mum Oct 2014 11:53pm, 22 Oct 2014 911 posts	Quote Pin old mum People who think they're being 'cute', or 'charming', when in fact they're being entirely transparent in their inherent disregard for their fellow human being. And doctors (singular) who refuse to give me antibiotics when I'm clearly brewing my first chest infection in 20 odd years, based on the fact my chest has only been sore on breathing for 36 hours, she can't hear any 'convincing' wheeze.

Arjin Oct 2014 9:19am, 23 Oct 2014 116 posts	Quote Pin Arjin Mornings - people sitting on their brake lights in traffic. Badley adjusted headlights shining in my face. People not using indicators. Get to work to find the general purpose biffa bin full of cardboard and the recycle bin empty. Just people in general. People grind my f*cking gears.
Q Mac Oct 2014 9:29am, 23 Oct 2014 5,732 posts	Quote Pin Q Mac Fog Lights It's truly isn't rocket science Highway Code 236 You MUST NOT use front or rear fog lights unless visibility is seriously reduced (see Rule 226) as they dazzle other road users and can obscure your brake lights. You MUST switch them off when visibility improves. Highway Code 226 226 You MUST use headlights when visibility is seriously reduced, generally when you cannot see for more than 100 metres (328 feet). You may also use front or rear fog lights but you MUST switch them off when visibility improves (see Rule 236). THAT IS 100 METRES PEOPLE - Slightly more than 1 car length methinks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ford Mondeo 5 metres long - thats 20 cars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
