boy racers

dont you just hate it when you are driving along at a legal speed, enjoying the responsible, safe drive that you are having and some tit in a corsa/nova/other bin comes right up your arse just cos you arent driving at the speed that they want too.
if you want to speed then fine, just dont expect everyone else to share your taste for lawlessness and excitement, just wait for a safe place to pass and then do so, hey even beep and give the fingers if you like just dont expect them to be as irresponsible as yourself

What really shits me about these boy racers, or any other impatient speeding ****, is that if, a few miles down the road, they have wrapped themselves around a tree and are bleeding to death, I will have to stop and help them! Or get stuck in the traffic jam they have caused.

This would make me late!

Or should I just drive on by and leave them to die, gurgling and choking in thier own blood?

What if they have smashed into another car? Which driver would you help first?

I drove a tow truck for a few years and saw some horrific sights. The carnage at some motor vehicle 'accidents' is sickening.

Constant speeders and road rule abusers should be made to attend a fatal accident once a week for a few months. That will cure them!

that would make 'them' furious

Fassbasstd · January 9, 2009

Yeah, 'them' is the only word for them!

With still being on probation I have to be careful because any speeding ticket would mean I wouldnt drive until after November so I do tend to stick quite well to speed limits. Anyway, I was happily driving along at 40 on a 40 road when some whopper gets right up behind me, so close couldn't see reg. Anyway, touched the brake and he edged back a few yards. Still not enough I thought. Touched it again. No difference so I slammed on dropping from 40 to just under 20 pretty quick. Pretty foolish I suppose but he caught me in the wrong mood. Person behind managed to slam on to a stop just in time.

Funnily enough, he stayed still until I was a decent distance ahead.

I'm not saying i drive like an idiot, so i dont get what your getting at here.

If you cannot drive to the maximum speed limit to create a easy and free flowing road, then get off and catch the bus.

Fassbasstd · January 9, 2009

So stay alive Cal. The world is probably a better place with you IN it.

I'm saying i drive to the road conditions and the speed limit.

A speed limit is in place to obviously stop the idiots but its also in place to create an easy route to your destination.

Actually it's fluctuations in speed that often cause jams, be that a slowing down or a speeding up.

Traffic on the roads and links to the chaos theory - by Peter Sessler - Helium

Why the nirvana for most traffic engineers is an automated system whereby cars drive themselves and therefore remove the irregular behaviour of us humans.

There are too many maniacs on the roads these days, what suprises me is how the hell did many of them pass there tests. I cycle to work (from Huyton to Speke), and god only knows how i am still here. There are probably more sensible drivers than those annoying looney tunes but even some of the sensible ones dont understand the highway code "do they Reidy and Cal?"
