Two types of drivers

There are two types of drivers in this world...

1. The type who use their sun visors all time time, even if the moons a bit bright

2. The type who wear sunglasses, and can drive more than 5mph without sliding into a bush.


I was following someone this morning who at every corner was moving their sun visor about in order to block the big orange ball out. Its the first day we've really seen sun this year, and it wasn't that bright. They were inept at being able to do this without braking violently either.  Further proof came of their stupidity came when they approached a roundabout, and with their sun visor covering the top half of the driver side window, they failed to see the car coming on the roundabout, and pulled out in front of them.  Luckily the other driver was of driver type 2 - and had some sense. Crash averted!

Sun visors are there for when you really have no other option to be able to see the road. Not because you would prefer living in a dark cave, watching repeats of Steptoe and Son on a black and white TV, eating ryvita's all day.  They should come with a safety warning for stupid people, or taken away completely and the drivers given a blindfold - it would probably improve their driving skills!

Cyclist Takes Revenge on Rude (?) Driver

There has been a video posted on MSN today of a cyclist taking is revenge for a driver being "apparently" rude.

Check it out here:

I am on the drivers side on this one.  The silver car was not entirely at fault, its not as though he intentionally went to ram the bike off the road. The cyclist got into his blind spot, and where as he probably should have seen the cyclist sooner and stopped, he didn't get to the point where the cyclist was rammed off the road. There was still a few few feet of space!  Just me thinking this?  The cyclist more than likely was having a bad day, perhaps he was turned down for sex the night before, or woke up and found a badger had eaten his weetabix?  Basically he should be made to pay for the damage to the car.

Another slow driver! Arrrghhhh

Here's an example of one of the many slow drivers i have to deal with everyday!! 

doing 30 / 35- mph max on a 60mph road. The weather was fine, it was light and the road was otherwise very light on traffic!  You can easily do 70mph down this road.

Arrrrghhhh!!  More than likely just out for a Sunday drive, on an errrr Friday

I didn't go for an ovetake - in case you are wondering. There was some oncoming traffic!
