Time for a rant

But the ironic thing was that our minibus turned up early (girls nite out) but 2 lasses were running late, and we arrived 5 mins after the crash so i dread to think what could have happened if we had set of when we should have.

Needless to say we bought them 2 lasses very large drinks when we got there !

Manchester is the same, im up there quite alot and they drive like maniacs, their speed limit must be like 60mph+.

last time i were up there id witnessed a road rage incident, this guy in a bmw had set upon a delivery guy all just because the bmw guy didnt get his own way as he had cut across the lane

not safe these days.

Speed limits aren't someones 'previous best' then?

Your right Sarah its not safe you have to be so careful on the roads i see bad driving all the time the worst one I've seen recently was on the M62 the other day i was doing 80ish in the outside lane in line of traffic and i was overtaken on the OUTSIDE by a motorbike couldn't believe it this guy must have had a death wish. I would have reported him but he was off like a flash and then to cap it all he UNDERTOOK car in front of me.

you see motor cyclists think they can get away with doing that, being on 2 wheels and being able to get in between traffic, BUT they cant because isnt it motor cyclists who have most the accidents? and they say on that "advertisement" take longer to look for motor cyclists, they dont say that when they overtake you at silly speed!!

just last week, over here there were 3 motor cyclists who had lost their lives, one through dangerous driving smashed into a wall, the 2nd had caused an accident in the high street and the 3rd had fell of his bike through being clever by driving inbetween a lorry and a car, he'd lost control of the bike smacked into the lorry........!!!!!!

Some bikers think they are above the law

Having said that i was out in the MGB a couple of weekends ago on a run through the Snake Pass(between Sheffield & Manchester) saw loads of bikers driving to the speed limits on what is a notorious bad accident area so like everything else there's good & bad. Then of course there are WHITE VAN DRIVERS no rules what so ever

my fella is a white van man but seriously he drives sensibly, even if he wanted to he couldnt go fast his van has no breaks, he has over 70 parcels so you imagine the weight on the back of the van?

but yeah some round my way, white van drivers are c0cks! (sorry)
its like they are blind to pedestrians, as they just pull up on pavement, or in a bus lane and faff around!

No doubt Taxi Drivers Bikers & White Van drivers all say the same about ZS owners. As we say in Yorkshire Thar's nowt queer' er than folk ! Better do some work now or maybe have a coffee.
