Had an ambulance following me on blues a couple of days back. Made progress that wouldn't hold him up until I passed a laybay where I pulled over and let him pass. Followed for a couple of miles and most of the drivers he came up behind simply stopped in the middle of the road.

If I were an ambulance driver I'd probably be hoping other drivers wouldn't spot me - because their reactions when they do seem to be totally irrational and dangerously unpredictable.

At least they don't speed, though because speed kills. ::)

Speed kills nobody,it is the stopping too quickly that does.I know that speed is blamed for a lot of accidents but it is driver error due to lack of attention that is the real culprit.

Idiot tonight in Devizes ... at the roadworks, Ambulance coming t'other way with all the horns and lights  .... obviously wanting to jump the red light, I stop, well short,  on the green to make way ....  the guy in front of me drives forward into the roadworks and then stops.... completely blocking everything  >:( >:( >:(

Took several of us hitting horns to make him reverse 10 yards to let the ambulance through... :(

Don't have the brains they were born with ...:(

.....and women in 4x4's!!! >:( >:( >:( >:(  I had two within five minutes during this week who very nearly went into me after they failed to check their mirrors!! >:( >:( >:( >:(

Makes a change from them attacking me in car parks though..........stupid bitches!! >:( >:(
Ooh, bit generalistic there Lizzie.

My old lady drives a 4x4, and she also holds an advanced driving license....which makes her a better driver/risk than me as far as insurance is concerned (and probably on paper as well), even though I have more years as well as competition experience.

On the flip side, as generalisations go.....I have noticed a small pattern of women who drive 4x4's (normally brand new BMW/Volvo/etc) who do seem quite dangerous if you observe them for long enough.

Indeed KW, there are a few, like me, who are well qualified and practiced at driving 4x4's and larger vehicles; it is just that when I am attacked by a 4x4 (yes usually BMW, Volvos' and Range Rover's) it is always women driving them!! ::) ::) ::) :D :D :D ;)

Maybe they feel inferior next to you ;)
I reached the conclusion some time ago that males who drive 4x4s must be inadequate in the penile dept. hence the vehicle that they drove had to be larger to compensate. In the case of women who drive them could it be something similar except in their case having A cups rather than DDs? ::)

i think we all make some sort of bad move or mistake sometime or another. sometimes with the radio off i start daydreaming or have things in my mind going on and you do get distracted. i went to overtake a car i thought was parked and overtook him at a red light.  be hard to deny you have never done something bad on the rd at one time. but when you see it everyday it makes you rather angry

Being the perfect driver I am ::) not.  Well I nearly sh*te myself the other afternoon. Just about to pull out of a side road, looked right, looked left and right again and started to pull out...........double decker bus hurtling towards me from the right.... FFS where the hell did that come from :o :-[
No harm done but I bet he was relieved when I braked.

The old lady has always liked utility vehicles, but I can assure you it's not because she's worried about the size of her tits  ;)
