Dip your headlights- damn you!

On a recent night time trip from Plymouth along some fairly windy roads - it became evident that the drivers coming the other way were dumb. Not all of them,but a good proportion of them.

I got blinded around 20 times from drivers coming the other way with full beam, not bothering to dip their headlights.  How thick do people have to be to not do that? it really does make you have to question the human race.  Do these people get home, and sit in their Kia's waiting for someone to open the door for them? They could be stuck in there for weeks!

This is a serious issue - this could very well cause accidents.  So people, use your head and know how to work your headlights, or stay at home!

Driving to work rage

I am fortunate enough to work in some buildings surrounding a country mansion house in the middle of the Hampshire / West Sussex countryside. It is a great place to work but comes with its downfalls in that it is a magnet for seriously slow and dangerous drivers! 

There is a very straight and 60mph limit road leading to a series of country roads in which the work place is situated.  Pretty much every day I get stuck behind someone doing 35mph max, who then of course turns off to go the same way as me.  The country roads can accommodate a car doing at least 40mph, but people insist on travelling 20mph.  This week i was stuck behind one such driver who did 20mph all along this road (probably thinking they were being safe)  and then at a sharp bend decided to speed up and cut the corner off.  If a car had been coming the opposite way there would have definitely been a head on crash!  More proof that people who think they are being safe because they are going slow, end up causing the accidents because they are not skilled drivers.

There used to be someone who worked for us, who used to do 15mph down this road.  His car had a huge dent in the back of his car - because he had reversed into his girlfriends house... TWICE! When trying to overtake him, he would always decide to head to the middle of the road. Now, if that doesn't speak "cannot drive, should be banned" i do not know what is.  

The driveway to work has a speed limit of 20mph and speed humps.  30mph is about the correct speed here and perfectly safe.  This week an e-mail was sent around all businesses on the estate telling people not to speed, and not to do handbrake turns in the car park! To which my only comment was.  It wasn't me - this time!

Speed doesn't cause crashes. People who cannot drive do!
