slow drivers

Another time I had a flat & had to drive to the garage about 250 yards away at a crawl (all but 50 yards of this was on a small residential road) I put my hazzards on. An idiot behind me was going insane:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
She was even hollaring & hooting (it was another woman:eek:) when I was stopped waiting to go right into the garage drive:eek:

Well, drivers like you bluddy annoy me too, I don't blame her!

Hazzards on when driving to the garage?

You were a moving vehicle, you were not stationary!

You obviously made her guess what you were doing when you eventually turned right into the garage as you couldn't have indicated, what bad driving!

Yet it's her fault!

Good grief!

Thanks for that observation, Gilbert.....so many so-called 'safe' drivers make up their own rules as they go along..

Instead of referring to the Highway Code....

Driving slowly causing other road users problems is an offence

Not within the parameters this thread started with it's not. There's no court in the land that's going to convict soneone doing 40 in a 60 NSL for inconsiderate driving!

Can you prove this statement?

No, but can you prove that 1+1=2? (Hint: No you can't - but that doesn't stop it being obviously true)

In fact you're right in this case - the MSE Kangaroo Court might convict. Fortunately they have nothing to do with what happens in the real world

Be quicker to disprove by finding some evidence that someone has been done for it than proving that EVERY SINGLE PERSON hasn't!

With a flat tyre I was crawling, but it was only the top of the road.

With your hazards on, so the driver behind had no idea when, or if, or in what direction you were going to turn.

This is just the sort of thing self centred people who can't be bothered to consider other people use to justify their actions.
(I'm not saying that's you.... )
but you don't know WHY someone is not taking life leisurely....

I drive home from work and if I leave on time and if I drive at the speed limit and IF I don't get stuck behind someone doing 30 in a 50 zone for miles I get to put my little boy to bed.

My brother drives to my fathers care home after work.... again, if he drives within limits etc. he can make my fathers day.... see his care-workers before the day shift change to the evening one....

others might simply prefer their kid is not standing outside school waiting to be picked up.... have to give medication to an elderly relative .... or many many things....

People who drive slowly and hold up traffic and don't bother to let other cars past are just as selfish as people who decide to jump under a train to end it.



If you are NOT PAYING attention you ARE NOT WITHIN THE LAW.
You are driving without due care and attention.



Then you are just as dangerous as that 'loon'.

You need to plan better.
