classic

 

I was, i admit, going a little fast, but i would really of liked to have ask if she had any fit daugters that fancied a ride....

 

I wonder what sort of responses these people expect..... i have decided if i see her again i am going to get out and piss on her bonnet.

 

She might be talking from the viewpoint of someone who was involved in or witnessed an RTC where excessive speed was a significant factor.

If someone drove at excessive speed down my street where kids were playing, parked up cars etc were at risk, I might not be too impressed either.

Each person's interpretation of what is or is not safe is different, and everyone's entitled to an opinion.

 

I would have given her the respect that she deserved....yes yes I sound old fashioned but no one should tell a lady to **** off

it's not the done thing as far as I am concerned.....

 

It's these moments that make life worth living

I had a young and fit-ish girl follow me home in her big 4X4 the other day to tell me off for overtaking her on a de-restricted road. She was chugging along at about 30 mph and I only accelerated to about 55 to get past. She actually told me I was not allowed to do that (overtake) on that type of road. (Straight, 1 mile plus visibility, uphill)

Being a gentlman I said nothing and allowed the trirade of terrible anglo saxon she was spouting to wash over me. She finally shut up when she realised that I was admiring her figure most of which seemed to be on display (and it was a cold day too!)

I'm hoping to overtake her again soon

 

Why is it when I read this I could only hear the voice of Harry Enfield,

"If someone drove at excessive speed. Down my Street. With the kiddies out playing catch and on their bikes. I should say. OIY, S2000 TWAT.......NOOOO!!!! Take that poofy torqueless wonder an hop it, at a respectable speed!!! <puff><puff>

 

tend to agree

there is a 20mph speed limit on my estate

I will most definitely slow people down by keeping to the limit

and have informed people of the limit on more occasions than I can remember

I don't bother on public roads, but this is a private estate with no vehicular right of way for non-residents

there are old and young people, dog walkers, occasionally horse riders and numerous drives where people or cars can emerge unexpectedly

being able to stroll around with kids or dogs, without fear of speeding cars, is one of the things that gives the estate its tranquil character

so I feel that people who feel the need to drive quickly in these environments need to be put in ther place

public roads are rather different, but there's little doubt that a large number of drivers take exception to being overtaken by a high performance car, particularly when said car is speeding

doesn't bother me in the slightest - as long as they disappear into the distance

hassling to get in front then tucking in front once past is one of the things that does irritate and perplex me

 

er, it was a dual carriageway and i didn't undertake her until she turned her hazzards lights on!

Of course i'm not going to drive fast in a built up 20 zone ffs.

 

It's when the BMW driver decides he's going to overtake a whole line of nose-to-tail traffic, then realises he's not going to make it and nonchallantly indicates to pull back in, causing anyone alongside to have to emergency brake - nice one, idiot.

then, should said driver (yes, ok, this happened to me the other day, ok ) catch me giving him the evils in his rear-view his childish discomfort, brought on by knowing he's been an asshole, makes him irate and even more abusive.

It's at times like this when I wish I had some form of narrow beam microwave weapon under the bonnet. Just keep following him... keep nodding at his aggressive gestures in his rear view... keep smiling... wave nicely to the gentleman... another few seconds aaannndd.... <PING!> oh dear, his head's burst.
