There are two things in this country that bug the hell out of me. <br />1/ The indicator IS NOT an optional extra, use the bloody thing!<br />2/ Pedestrians and cyclists slow walking through carparks and across roads as though they own the road. I feel that I'm a considerate driver but those people that walk slowly down the middle of carpark roadways, or across roads instantly put me into a state of being p*ssed off. Not a good attitude I know but the outright arrogance of these people just push my buttons, half the time they do it on purpose. In the last couple of weeks I've gone so far as installing 140dB airhorns on both of our cars to wake these idiots up! <br />Good grief, even writing this has got me annoyed! Everyone has their buttons I guess and this is mine.<br />Whew, rant over...Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15041821712022471596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239694080870817712.post-50235107697056326702013-09-10T20:54:41.599-06:002013-09-10T20:54:41.599-06:00I think we should all have to take written and dri...I think we should all have to take written and driving tests once a year or every two years to include proper pedestrian and cyclist behavior. Maybe police should pull people over for innattentive and/or rude driving...:)<br />And how about those stickers saying "Look twice for motorcyclists" Many motorcyclists are so rude and obnoxious that I look twice to make sure I get in their way. When they start acting like responsible drivers on public roads I will feel like being nice to them...Yes, I ride also...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
