If someone pulls out without looking, you should be anticipating that and be driving at such a speed that you can brake in time. It's called defensive driving. You are not supposed to drive like a madman and expect nothing unusual to happen ahead of you. That is very poor driving and I can see you getting involved in lots of collisions in future if that is the way you drive.Yes, what happens after they have just pulled out without looking and carry on driving at about 25 in a 50 when it is perfectly safe to do 40 - 45?
And I completely disagree with you and the insurance companies strongly agree with me and disagree with you also.

You have reminded me of the silly old twat who decided on a 50 road to pull out on a motorbike without looking, cutting people up and then ride at 25-30. When I finally overtook him, I noticed he was led flat on his back and steering the bike with his feet whilst also smoking a cigarette. So I shouted across 'Bloody idiot, you'll kill yourself'. To which he shouted back 'Don't be daft, I only smoke 5 a day'.The silly old twat this morning who decided that on a 50 road to pull out without looking cutting people up and then drive at 25 - 30 and then when I overtake him he sits flashing his lights and waving his arms about.
And I am down to 4 since then.You have reminded me of the silly old twat who decided on a 50 road to pull out on a motorbike without looking, cutting people up and then ride at 25-30.

Thought of you more as a motorbike and sidecar man Otis?And I am down to 4 since then.
No, the wife was in the sidecar and inexplicably the bolt came lose on a mountain pass.Thought of you more as a motorbike and sidecar man Otis?
I knew it, you're Arthur and Olive from Holiday On the Buses aren't you?No, the wife was in the sidecar and inexplicably the bolt came lose on a mountain pass.
What can I say?
I'm not Arthur AND Olive, I am just Olive.I knew it, you're Arthur and Olive from Holiday On the Buses aren't you?
I would think that after driving for 10 years or more you'd be bloody tired.I really don't understand how people can be so bad at driving.
Surely after driving for 10, 20, 30 years, you should be getting better and better.
The stuff you see, and pure idiocy, is just unbelievable at times.

I would also be asking where exactly is it you are going to that is so far away?
Isn't Le Mans sexist?It's a new Le Mans race
I agree with those who have stated there are too many drivers who are not aware of what is happening around them, which shows a degree of selfishness. For example the car that pulls out and does not then keep pace with the traffic, the stationary car at the roadside at night still with full beam on, and my current favourite, the driver in front turning right at the lights who has moved forward about a foot, then the lights change and they chug off on red at about 3 mph being the only one to get across.I really don't understand how people can be so bad at driving.

But then you said to yourself 'I'm not in France, so, no.'I do sometimes wonder whether it's worth just driving and thinking about myself, and don't give any thought for anyone else.

They are probably looking in bewilderment as to why you are pretending to pick up dog muckI don't know whether it is just my dog, or everyone's dog is the same, but quite often she assumes the position, looks like she's pooing, but then nothing comes out.
Of course all the people looking out their windows or walking past think she has pooed and therefore I have to bend down and pick up something that doesn't even exist.

I was on the m25 the other day..there was a woman going along at 40mph in the outside lane in free flowing traffic.
Another one....tossers who park in the middle of a parking space big enough for at least 2 cars.

You got that wrong. "Should of"' is never right and is not English. It's "should have". "Should of" is obviously a bastardisation of "should 'ave" which is "Should have" with a dropped "h". Same thing with "Could of", "Would of" etc. etc.'Should of' instead of 'should have'
