It seems to me, that over the last 18 months or so, the number of drivers on the road in need of being taken off the road has been steadily increasing. It seems that for far too many of them it is a case of "I've got my licence, insurance, MOT, and tax, so I can drive how ever I like.
There are those who think that a good distance to keep between them and the car in front is about half the length of their bonnet, no mater what speed is being done.
Then there are those who believe that everyone else is telepathic, and will be able to pick up on the thought wave indicators they have had fitted to their cars.
Those who know that the right of way is always theirs, even when going down hill on the wrong side of the road, sometimes in reverse.
Those for whom speed limits are merely advisory, and road markings are only there to give Cormac something to do.
Those for whom Lane discipline means anyone who gets in my way is going to get a damn good telling off, with accompanying hand gestures.
They seem to believe that the Highway Code is on a par with Morse Code, something that used to be used, but no-one bothers with it any more.
Then there are those for whom 30mph in a 30mph zone is clearly not fast enough, so will overtake, quite often when something is coming the other way, causing you to brake suddenly to allow them to get back in, and then decide to potter on at 45mph in the 60mph zone holding up all those they have just whizzed past.
Now, what sort of drivers are these homicidal maniacs, are they "Boy Racers", "Women Drivers", "White Van Drivers", "Old Codgers in Trilby Hats"?
It is all of them, and every other "sort" of driver out there, there seems to be no specific group, unless you wish to lump them all together in the "5 Fingered Widow Club".
We all make the odd mistake, that's just human, but this type of driving is no mistake, it is deliberate. It demonstrates a complete disregard for other road users, pedestrians, and even children. They can't all be rushing off to a medical emergency!
You want to know one of the reasons why your insurance keeps going up, it's because of "drivers" like these, Drivers with their genitalia firmly attached to their foreheads, who believe that, not only are they immortal, but are able to do exactly what they wish and everyone else has to make allowances, and keep out of their way.
It does not help that the Police seem totally acceptive of these driving practices, some of them even driving that way themselves. Mind you, just wait and see what happens if you forget to renew your road-fund licence for a week.....................................
Sorry, rant over, I think I'll have a look on eBay........................................................to see if there are any Chieftain Tanks going cheap!voodoo
