2 stories from me now over the past 2 days
18/11/15. I was turning left at a crossroad and a taxi that was turning right must not know the Highway Code as he just pulled straight out. He did not have right of way. Needless to say, I have his taxi number and have mentioned it to SCC, mainly due to his pathetic knowledge of road use. I'm must say, the state of some taxi drivers driving leaves a lot to be desired.
19/11/15. I was going through Gleadless on my way to work and on one of the roads I use, there were some cars parked on the right hand side and I could see traffic building up at the junction ahead. I stopped before the cars in case traffic came the other way and they wouldnt be blocked from getting through. So there I am, stopped and a stupid woman in a Fiat 500 overtook me!!. Cue the red mist and if my OH wasn't in the car, id have overtook her and got out and asked her what the hell she was doing.
So are we getting more and more impatient and frustrated with other road users? Personally my two annoyances are middle lane drivers and people who frankly cant be arsed to indicate at roundabouts. I have a dash cam and can almost guarantee poor driving standards at least 3 times a day.
Or is it just me?
I really do wonder how some people passed their tests or are they putting them in Kellogs boxes again?
