stanski Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Its really very easy to drive a car on the motorway - you drive at the correct speed according to the road conditions and you keep your distance from the car in front! Simples! This morning I was sat for 1 hour in stationary traffic - looked like a 6 car pile up! On the opposite side of the road about 1/2 mile in the other direction another smash. A mile further on another car on the hard shoulder with a front bumper hanging off? It looked like something off a Mad Max film set? Finally when we moved again I see a guy in a car behind a wagon so close I honestly thought the wagon was towing it - odd why would a wagon tow a car ? Muppets! Is it the fault of the car manufacturers making cars so molly cuddled and insulated that you think your invincible or just peoples driving habits are soo bad now! Its winter , its cold, its slippery nuff said! Sorry for the rant but when you see this every day on the motorway you get so fed up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cragus Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Sorry to say this but that there are so many 4x4 drivers out there that think they are invincible aswell. Had run ins with 2 such people in the space of a few days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Every other driver on the road is a complete idiot and shouldn't be allowed. I'm the only one who actually knows what they're doing behind the wheel. That's what my Mum said to me before I started driving, and it's an absolute truth I drive to today. Assume everyone else is a muppet and that they're about to do something daft, and you won't go far wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gball1973 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Hear what your saying guys Some people just shouldn't be on the road. The amount of 4x4 drivers here are a bit higher with being a bit "rural". Doesn't help when ppl are abandoning their cars 6 inches from the white lines - making it even more difficult for buses and gritters to get through the village. Watched some muppet the other day, on what was pretty much a sheet of ice, driving the main road through the village with her mobile glued to her ear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
