Had just left work this evening for the 15 -20 minute commute home.
Was biding my time through the 'grid locked' bit when I was overtaken by these far superior motorists:mad:


Pity my dash cam wasn't good enough to get their reg numbers:BangHead:

Hmmmmmm

Not long ago I had something similar happen to me - turning left out of a side turning into a main road, traffi c on the main road in front of me on the other side I.e going to my right was solid. Happily I checked left before pulling out and saw a van barrelling toward me at about 30mph. If I hadn’t looked it would have been very messy indeed.

And I couldn’t help thinking that the reason I checked left was the result of doing a zillion miles on a motorbike- I always assumed somebody was trying to kill me when I was on the bike and I am in no doubt my observation skills improved massively as a result.

I cant help thinking that some unfortunate pedestrian will be splatted one of these days as they look to the left as they reach the traffic island, then step into the path of one of these morons.
In my view, people who drive like that are the one's who drive back up the on ramp of a motorway, or purposely drive the wrong way along a one way street.
