A fascinating display of what I imagine Central Park offers for the Stockcars Have done that in the past. The best I seen was a car going into the side of a coach. Also watching them try and park is something else. A car overlapping the end of your space just push it out the road with yours Pal of mine iirc hired a car abroad (may have been mallorca, possibly italy) and got advised to i) just not leave valuables in the car and leave it unlocked when unattended, people WILL try the locks and if its locked theyll break a window thinking theres something to nab. If its not locked they'll maybe poke around but more than likely just bugger off. ii) if parking on a flat road, leave the handbrake off and put it in gear. Common practice to bump other parked cars out the way as you say. Edited July 29, 2022 by Thistle_do_nicely 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a proper driving experience I’m used to driving with people who seem to lose every ounce of sense and judgement when they reach a round about. There’s one 2 lane effort not far from the house and every other time I have to use it I end up shouting and screaming at some c**t. Even with all the signs approaching it the c***s just don’t get where to position their car and what lanes to use for what exits. Almost every time you get people driving straight through as though there was only one lane and cutting straight across you with no indication they are planning on using the exit that is next. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if they get a toot, they are completely perplexed. Similar to two lanes at a junction to go right. The number of people on the outside lane who cut across the inside line when going right to then rejoin the outside lane is unbelievable. I am using "lane" here as invariably there are not lane markings but without markings to keep them right, it seems that any sense of vehicle and spacial awareness is lost entirely. Or no lane markings is seen as carte blanche - anything goes..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH33 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) Some old knob stopped on a roundabout on way into Erskine. Then had to hard left turn to take the junction. Edited July 30, 2022 by RH33 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's absolutely mental, but, classic Scottish judicial system, no minimum penalty for culpable homicide. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Apparently the incident happened at around 2.3 mph... not sure that warrants a "let 'em hang" approach given that she sounds Heartbroken by it all and she has to live with killing the love of her life after a minor argument. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Saw a right fucking roaster earlier. Sat at the traffic lights at Tesco Kingsway, tooting his horn, window down effing and jeffing and flicking the vickys. Disgusting. Reported him to the Dundee polis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably wouldn't report him for the simple reason that it'd be a pointless waste of time and the very most the police might do (probably won't) is chap the guys door and tell him not to do it again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbornbairn Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Walking in Paris yesterday and it struck me that there are far more c***s on the pavement. Can you imagine what the roads would be like if these c***s drove like they walked? Wandering all over the road at random, suddenly stopping on the motorway for no reason etc? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
