Last week, I came up the A52 in Nottingham towards the Nottingham Knight roundabout (from the North). I was taking the right turn on to the A60 towards Ruddington. It’s national speed limit on this roundabout.
I pulled on to the roundabout and – as I got halfway across – a blue Citroen Saxo (reg. no. MV52 VBX ) decided it was going to go from the A60 coming from Wilford Hill. It was filled to bursting with schoolkids – two boys and two girls, I think.
I had to slow down rapidly to avoid a collision.
On its own this wouldn’t have been the end of the world – as far as people demonstrating they should have been put down at birth goes. You get a lot of it.
But what made it all the more irritating was the fact that the whole car full of retards thought it was immensely amusing and kept looking back to laugh. I really do think it was the highlight of their week. They turned right into Ruddington, along Kirk Lane, so I assume that’s where they live.
You can’t help wonder what their parents would make of all this. You hope that they wouldn’t be impressed and would ground the little cretins – the driver, at least, seeing how he put the lives of his three occupants and me at serious risk; but also the passengers, for demonstrating their complete lack of maturity in situations which threaten other peoples lives.
This is what you’d hope. The frightening thing is that these prats probably got the attitude FROM their parents.
