I saw this car today. The middle aged couple parked their BMW in the pick up bays for McDonald's even though there are hundreds of empty spaces in the car park, just so they are slightly closer to the ASDA entrance. Maybe they didn't notice the signs!! It really does grind my gears. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig fae the Vale Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Is it just me or is there an increasing number for folk who refuse to go any faster than 40 in a 60mph zone? Seems like every time I'm on the road there's some clown toddling along at 40, completely oblivious to the queue forming behind them. Bonus points if they continue on at 40 when the road changes to a 30 zone as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the continuing into 30 zones that annoys me. If they're so shit at driving that they can't back themselves to get round corners at normal speeds then the're probably not going to be great at stopping for village stuff. Like cars pulling out of junctions, people, animals and crossings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the ones who go a steady 60 on the straights but 40 on any slight bend who do my head in, no chance to overtake unless you do 80. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also noticing more people driving at 50 on the M90 between Newbridge and Dunfermline since the cameras went live 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philpy Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Was down at portobello today, and the fire brigade were doing community stuff and got a "shout", they had to cut through a car park to get on the road, and some daft old biddy proceeded to drive in towards the fire engine, completely oblivious to the flashing blue lights. Needless to say, she had no option but to move the f**k out of the road. Dottery auld hoor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathematics Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 White Peugeot firing down the A9 today right up my arse, straying over the lines, and dropping speed drastically. Of course, the silly bitch was too busy texting to care what the f**k she was doing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking cyclists pinging along like the Tour de France the day. Majority of them with no bell on the bike, guessing the new changes to the Highway Code don’t apply to cyclists having to give pedestrians only cyclists having priority over cars. Push them in the fu#*ing canal. Problem solved 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supermik Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Don’t care if I am now considered to be a c**t on the road now. With the current cost of fuel, my cruise control is now set at 56mph on every motorway or dual carriageway that I have to cross. There is a second lane which you are free to pass me on, but if you do, then, I will probably pass you whilst you are refuelling at the next garage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieThomas Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Failed my "theory" test over here today. They let 16 year olds who couldn't point to Edinburgh on a map drive, and 8 pints is a guidance for drink driving rather than a rule. Yes, I'm raging. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the drink drive limit over there or is it just guidance as you say? Went to Boston for Paddys in 2008 and myself and my mate got chatting to this guy & his wife who ended up about 6 Guinness deep, by which point she is swaying all over the shop, he finishes the remainder of hers as she is arsed, has one more before declaring "I suppose I better get her home then" "You away to get a taxi?" I enquired. "No, no" he replies "I live 15 miles outside of town, I have the car just round the corner" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same as the legal limit when cars first got introduced to the country. I live in Shitlick, Nowhere but you're not going to see a cop driving from the pub to home. And on the drive from my nearest pub to home I literally drive past a police station. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If caught are the penalties similar to here, EG minimum 1 year ban or are they quite weak that makes people think risking it is worth it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People just don't get caught because the cops don't care. Work with a guy who went to jail for DUI (because he passed out driving and drove into a pylon). Two months in the pokey, back in his motor. That's it. They don't care. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cambozpar Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Frightening stuff the attitudes of most people and drink driving in the USA. Ive Spent a lot of time all over the states through work and the attitude towards drinking in bars all night then everyone just jumping in their motors and driving home is unbelievable. Totally different culture than back here although trying to get a taxi or Uber in the middle buttfuck, nowhere is usually impossible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit chicken and egg maybe - if less folk were to drink and drive then maybe there would be more demand for taxis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
