Baby Deltic Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 A few NIP's will be dropping through driver's doors there, I reckon. Driving on the pavement, very naughty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium JDW Posted March 28, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 28, 2016 I hope more than a few NIPs are on their way to those drivers. The general lack of respect for other road users, especially those for whom the roads are a place of work, amazes me. I don't so much mean "my lot" (bus/coach drivers for those who haven't been following the thread), but as in the example above, bin men, why not give them time and space to do their job safely? If one steps out from behind the lorry as you're driving down the pavement... worse still of a child runs out of a driveway as you're driving past down the pavement, what's going to happen? Its not hard to work out for goodness sake! At the end of the day, they're doing a job for you, for me, for everyone. Whether its bin men, recovery services (why do people insist on passing as close as possible? Slow down, pass wide, leave the mechanic space to work when he'd knelt down next to a car!), those who maintain or repair roads, street sweepers on foot or in lorries, or even dare I say delivery drivers - its amazing how often I hear passengers complaining things like "he shouldn't stop in the bus lane...", well where would you like him to stop? Its safe, legal, he's delivering goods you might want to buy, its a minor inconvenience to pass him but he has his job to do just like I have mine. Grrrrrrr... <insert angry face here> 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 "The driver hit it and then claimed compensation", yep, them stones are tricky rascals, jumping here and there, leaping into your path when you least expect it.

RMweb Premium kevinlms Posted March 30, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 30, 2016 "The rock was all over the road. I had to swerve several times before I hit it" We had a guy who killed his 3 sons. He drove into a lake. He drove off the main road & followed the road around a complicated path, while 'having a coughing fit'. The jury so through this & he's serving time, after successfully appealing, then undergoing a retrial & losing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Farquharson 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium kevinlms Posted April 6, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 6, 2016 Here's a bit of driving. Difficult tree to see as immediately behind a strong shadow. The woman obviously had seen it early enough either.

Guest Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I'll just squeeze through here...oh Bol.....! That one is an excellent demonstration of why dash-cams are good. From the aftermath it looked like the mean lorry driver had run into the back of the nice man going on his holidays. In fact that was how the local news initially reported it. Then the lorry driver got fed up with the abuse he was getting and posted that video. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted April 6, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 6, 2016 I have just purchased a dash cam, I will be installing it as soon as the car has been returned from the repairers. I decided to get one when my door mirror was shattered by an idiot coming the other way, on the way to get the dash cam another car pulled out of a side turning and hit my car. The second driver stopped and exchanged details but the one who broke the mirror needless to say didn't stop. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
