Have small crashes.

Obviously not meaning anyone gets hurt, but just to remind them of the dangers of driving too fast and\or close to another car.

Also people who park on corners and junctions in this weather meaning others having to risk themselves more.

I have had such rage the last few days at others and their selfish driving

YANBU. Nearly got run over with DCs by twat doing boy racer stuff in slush. Also Audi driver parked right on the corner of junction opposite us and surprise! some poor sod went into the back of him, couldn't stop in time.

I hate to wish an accident on anyone but I do know what you mean! Also the wanker who parked in my disabled neighbour's space at the weekend and left his car there for three days claiming he 'couldn't see the disabled space marking under the snow' - there's a sign right on the pavement that was perfectly clear! Meantime she was hobbling up the icy pavement to get to the next nearest disabled space which is about 300 yards away!

He didn't get a ticket until this morning but I was very happy to see him arguing with the warden and being firmly told it was entirely his fault. Twat.

You are much nicer than me, I will idiotic drivers to wrap themselves around lampposts, as long as they don't hurt anyone else Grin

YANBU... unfortunately they only usually cause crashes, and even when they're involved its not their fault at all! Grr.

What about those of us who drive off the road through no fault of their own?
I ended up in a field last week due to ice and I was doing at most 20mph.

FedUpOfTheBunfightsSeaCow · 08/02/2012 15:02

kreecher well it doesn't apply as you weren't driving like an idiot!

kreecherlivesupstairs · 08/02/2012 15:24

No I wasn't and as soon as I'd pressed post message I realised.

JerichoStarQuilt · 08/02/2012 15:30

Oh, that's scary. Were you and car ok kreecher?

I think seeing/being in minor accidents when you've not done anything stupid actually make you more aware - if you'd been doing 40 like some idiots, it could have been really nasty. Likewise for me, seeing someone spin through 180 degrees the other day made me extremely glad I was crawling along a good distance back.

YANBU

Although, people who park on junctions and corners deserve to have their cars involved in minor accidents regardless of the weather!
