It happened today with a Vauxhall Cavalier (I think), reg. no. FG56 YPA.<\/p>\n<p>What annoys me most, I guess, is how they put their heads down and refuse to make eye contact afterwards (assuming they use their mirrors when driving in the first place, of course). They <strong>know<\/strong> they\u2019ve made a bad decision, but are too stupid to learn from it.<\/p>\n<p>On the roads these days there\u2019s a lot of monkey-see-monkey-do behaviour. I get it with some of my pupils, when they start following cars in front (or signal when <strong>they<\/strong> do), and I have to point out how dangerous it is, especially when they go out on their own. A good example is the speed bumps along Shelton Street in St. Anns in Nottingham. I can remember when one or two people started driving in the middle of the road to try and avoid them &#8211; and within a few months you had every idiot driver doing it, <strong>even when traffic was coming the other way.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the same with this traffic light problem. It\u2019s far worse in certain areas &#8211; the rough places, where everyone has six kids and owns a Staffie. It used to be only the boy racers or young pillocks who did it (like the one I mentioned above), but it\u2019s got to the stage where even the more \u201cnormal\u201d &#8211; but horrendously even-less-gifted drivers &#8211; do it. Their judgement is appalling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of my pet hates is when I am at traffic lights waiting to turn left or go straight ahead, and the twat on the opposite side turning right decides that he somehow has the right of way.
