Stuck in a queue of traffic this evening,  speed between 20 and 30 on a quick Nsl A road with limited overtaking...

The reason...

A mud caked Transit transporter, no beacons on, carrying a badly butchered Range Rover, which must have been close to the weight limit. By close I mean over... Towing an early Freelander on a bar, the entire thing being closely followed by an equally hideous Disco, again caked in mud.

Transits make rubbish transporters as they are relatively heavy so have a low payload, add in a 90bhp engine and stick a trailer on it, and it makes for very long slow journey... Especially when the person 'driving' the Freelander rides the brakes and keeps swerving over the centre line engine was running on the Freelander too

Bizarre, selfish and downright dangerous...

That's when they've finished chewing up the byways so other folk can't use them for walking / cycling / getting to their houses.

Indeed...

[4x4]

Its the few who have no regard for the byways that wreck them,and also go on lanes etc that they are not allowed to go on,ive gone green laning with northants 4x4 ,its always organised,gates are opened and closed as we go through them,and we have respect for others who use the by ways aswell,as normal its the idiots with no respect that gives the sensible people using the by ways a bad name aswell.

Which is all very noble and explains why you cleaned all the mud from your windows and lights before driving home

[4x4]

It was 12 when i drove home,lights weren't that dirty,and can see perfectly well out of windows,if i couldnt have they would have been cleaned before leaving site as i always carry rags and water just incase everything is that dirty i cant see out of them.

It reads like a labour manifesto surreal comedy, so it might as well be in pictures...

You're right in that it's not a labour manifesto as it's got some policies in it....

Taxi Al will you stop taring people with the same brush,its getting a bit much now,there are responsible people who do off roading/green laning,which may also volenter in response teams,who give up there free time when there is floods,heavy snow etc who will take nurses,police,and other  services to places where there veichles cant get to but those with modified 4x4 numpty owners can,maybe do some reasearch about this before slaging us off.

Because this is fine example of not tarring a group as all the same

And also take a cycling test aswell so they atleast know which side of road to be on 

We all say something targeted at those few who make the majority look bad and should not be taken as something personal

[4x4]

Off topic but i think everybody who rides a bike should do the cycling test,before allowed on the road or pavement. Also must have lights fitted and used when it dark.

[4x4]

You have to do a test to drive a car,motorbike etc so why shouldnt it be law to for cyclists to do the test before they are allowed on the road,i did mine when i was 9 and so did a few of my friends as we did it in the summer holidays,atleast it taught you how to use the road correctly,traffic lights and roundabouts.
