I have just flipped this morning. Living in a rather quiet residential estate, which has a long winding road running through it, I am getting seriously peeed off with the driving on that road. It is a 30 zone, and has sharp bends which cannot be taken more quickly. On one of them about 25 is the absolute maximum. Plus the fact that there are school kids coming out of houses, and being loaded into the 4x4s, which occupy more than half of the road width.
So what do I experience every morning? Crazy, moronic reckless driving. Women - yes, mostly women - careening around these bends, leaning over to compensate for the G force they create, and hopelessly failing to stay on their own side of the road. As they flash past in the middle of the road, almost out of control, and I am about to wonder what damage has been done when I mounted the pavement to avoid them, I catch the frozen image of a limp, lifeless and careless idiot woman's face, who clearly doesn't give a pooe how she is affecting anyone else. Genuinely, couldn't give a FF.
I had no time to raise a salute, no time to sound the horn or flash my lights, and she's gone - scot free. I am left there speechless with outrage, and nowhere to go with it. So that's it. I am drawing up plans for a neighbourhood motoring watch scheme. All reports of terrible driving can be submitted anonymously and posted, via myself, anonymously, to the offenders. Never suspect malice where sheer stupidity will do. It mightt well be that informing these idiots will enable them to rediscover their roots as a human being and start to rekindle feelings of compbuttion for their fellow travellers.
Maybe.
