Two examples of extremely dangerous driving yesterday. Both were easily capable of causing fatal accidents, involving crass stupidity.<\/p>\n

\"FD10The first involved a black Mercedes *reg. no. FD10 NFX<\/font>). I was driving along the A60 towards Bunny during the rush hour, and just as I approached Bradmore Lane (locally known as \u201cThe Rollercoaster\u201d, and favoured by pratmobile drivers as a location for risking their lives and everyone else\u2019s) this Mercedes was waiting. He had absolutely no right of way, nor any reasonable reason to pull out.<\/p>\n

But he did.<\/p>\n

Amusingly, he made sure to keep his eyes below the level of the mirror once he saw me mouth something that rhymed with \u201cclucking bat\u201d at him and point to my head. They\u2019re always very brave before<\/strong> they do it, but no so afterwards. He was heading off towards Loughborough somewhere, in case the police are interested.<\/p>\n

\"W498The second example was driving towards Cotgrave along Cotgrave Road\/Plumtree Road. Just as the speed limit goes from 40mph to 60mph, I saw this commotion behind as the juvenile twat driving the dark-coloured Seat (reg, no. W498 BVX<\/font>) had apparently overtaken a van to squeeze in the gap in front.<\/p>\n

I had accelerated to almost 60mph by this time, and there were solid white lines on the road due to dips and bends. That didn\u2019t stop the Seat driver though. He overtook me on solid white lines at considerably above 70mph \u2013 having to take evasive action to avoid the oncoming car (that\u2019s why the solid white lines are there, you prick). I think this may have just shaken him a little, as he didn\u2019t try to overtake the car he was then stuck behind. I don\u2019t know if he could see me using Universal Sign Language behind him at the junction, because he was invisible in the mirror and below the level of the driving seat back rest (typical child pratmobile driver \u2013 restricted height, restricted intelligence, car modified so he can\u2019t even see over the steering wheel \u2013 but drives suicidally nonetheless.<\/p>\n

He headed off towards the centre of Cotgrave if the police are interested, though he could easily have been using it as a rat run to the A46.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no wonder young drivers have fatalities, is it? What is a wonder is that anyone should feel sympathy for them when they do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
