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?!

Oh god yes - colour of your DH pants is absolutely critical to working out if the horse box could have safely pulled in/out

Blue pants = you're doomed to be stuck behind a horsebox on the only road on Google Earth without laybys. Forever. Everyone knows that.

Especially if you're driving a dad racer but not actually driving it in a way that endangers other road users at all, or causes them any frustration/annoyance/eye rolling whatsoever.

But you can only drive a dad racer in such a way that it endangers all other road users

Of course - what was I thinking?? Yes, a dad racer driven carefully and non-aggressively as one of a long line of traffic endangers lives simply by being there.

In which case OP YABVU and you and your DP should take some anger management lessons before you get behind the wheel again.

Well some people are just wankers

OP has a DP? As well as a DH? That changes everything.

What a bitch. The dad racer could totally do better. He should LTB.

Was the OP in the car with her DP and DH?? Dirty bitch.

DP, DH and the children by all accounts. Discusting.

Children by both men, I'll wager.

This thread is getting more and more demented!

And I know of several long, bendy single carriageway roads that nevertheless have several perfectly good long laybys entirely suitable for a slow deceleration/acceleration stop and start.

So I'm voting YANBU.

I bet they bought that dad racer with benefits.

I'm going against the grain and suggesting that the 'dad-racer' is some kind of shitty diesel that he thinks is a rocket ship.

I bet they did Toby - and the OP sounds like the kind of woman who would give it to them. Afternoon tea and ice-creams indeed - as if we've believe that.

A rocket ship would be perfect for overtaking.

So true Sparkling - no need to sit behind a slow moving vehicle driven by someone who refuses to move in if you have a rocket

I'm sure DH would love a rocket ship, DP probably would too. And DP2. DH wasn't wearing pants. And I'm not even sure if the DCs are mine let alone DH's

Well, I'm afraid none of that surprises me Feather - you dirty stop-out you.

Dammit - you know me in RL, don't you?

I'm afraid I do Feather - and none of your posts have surprised me in the slightest. You're no better than you ought to be.

Slaaaaag. Two-timing, benefits-wasting, mum-racer slag.

It's no wonder that horsebox driver hated you.

Yeah, yeah, wot she said. Ya caaaah.

If I am towing my mare I ain't pulling over for no one.

Suck it up.
