To think it wouldn't kill them to pull over once in a while?

[Featherbag]

We're driving through County Durham, it's a beautiful day and were heading to a lovely village for afternoon tea and ice cream for the toddler. We're on a National Speed Limit road, single lane, stuck behind a horse box doing 23mph. There are 8 cars in front of us also stuck behind it, and I can't see the back of the queue. It's been like this for almost half an hour - AIBU to think it would be polite of the horse box driver to pull the fuck over every now and then to let the queue pass?!

I know. I haven't really ordered a horsebox.

It's ok, Maryz, she was there within an hour of her first post.

She's not still in the queue waiting for Christmas

And as I said, trucks and tractors are also on the road "for their own purposes"

Obviously. However, these are easier to stop and pull over than horseboxes because of the nature of their load, therefore they are less likely to cause inconvenience. Also, FWIW, they are less likely to be on the road for the purposes of predominantly leisure pursuits.

Can you tell me why we can use the roads Nenny

We can all use the roads for whatever legal purpose we want. However, if the way we choose to use the roads carries a greater risk of causing inconvenience to others, and potentially serious problems for people with emergencies, then ordinary consideration suggests we should try to minimise that.

Thread is a week old today!!

Been out today Feather?
