To wonder if they've changed the Highway Code and no one told me?

[Chicken4dinner]

Or far more likely when did drivers become so inconsiderate?

I've just tried to cross a fairly busy road at a zebra crossing. I stood with one foot on the crossing making it obvious I was trying to cross and five cars zoomed right past me.

I took one step forward, so I was 2 or 3 ft from the kerb and still no one stopped. When there was a very small break in the traffic I walked forward but was prepared to leap back if I had to. I made it across in one piece.

I'm a driver. I always stop when I see someone crossing on a zebra.

It was quite nerve wracking walking out before the cars had stopped and I'm a mobile forty-something. How elderly or less mobile people cope I don't know.

If you drive a huge fuck-off van, be sure to park as close to the corner of the junction as possible so that the other drivers can practice their creep-and-peep trying to see around your stupidly high/wide vehicle and pedestrians can play jeopardy as they try to cross the road with no visibility of any traffic turning into the road. Well done, fuck face, that's a public service you're providing right there.

The amber light is a challenge not a warning, put your foot down and you might be able to blast over the crossing before it changes to red.

You own that little bit of kerb outside your house. That is your bit of concrete and tarmac, the foot bridge to your castle, be sure to protect it at all costs. So when you see a learner driver practicing parallel parking you should stare at them, initially from your front window and then from the front door, then finally from your garden gate. The accepted greeting at this point is to bellow "fuck off and do that somewhere else!". Job done, you prince among men, kerb protected.

You can park wherever you like so long as you're "only going to be a minute" and you leave your four ways on.

If you own a massive saloon style car feel free to park next to me in supermarket car park sticking your car out at a 45 degree angle overhanging my space making it difficult for me to manoeuvre out.

somewhere .

plus.:

If you've come from another country to live in the UK you MUST drive as you would there, and use your countrys laws and remember their signs and speed limits and use them here.

(also applies to Brits to move abroad BTW).

Where I live it appears I missed the memo that said you can drive in the middle of the road regardless of on coming traffic. the driver who forced me in to a ditch was very surprised when I explained why I'd had to swerve....

People keep speeding on our road and surrounding roads. It's clearly a 30mph area but people have been doing around 40.
Also get pissed off; when people get up my arse at night with their brightest lights on! They have loads of room to over take, but expect me to speed up for them. Bloody sods can fuck off. I'm not getting any ticket thanks

The highway code also now says ' If you are stuck behind an idiot who insists on sticking to the speed limit, overtake them as they are turning left and honk your horn loudly and impatiently.'

Dalek so you've been to Peterborough too?

.

also- van drivers and truck drivers.

Do stop willy nilly in the middle of someones street that you don't live in and throw all your kebab/takeaway/fish n chip wrapers and beer cans/red bull cans out of your windows and please litter their streets.

this also applies to boy racers.

Boy racers- DO channel Lewis Hamilton and drive as fast as you can with your twin turbos and Ferraris down a quiet street at breakneck speed.

Alternitavily (sp), you MUST stop in someone elses street with your million woofers/tweeters/stereo on wheels blaring out drum n bass/gansta rap/Ibiza trash to make the whole street quake.

Late at night preferably, while you are drunk driving /stoned out of your heads and shouting as well. do not be concerned if a police car passes you, they will do nothing.

DO get out of your cars/vans to piss on peoples garden walls and in their driveways.and show the street your todgers while you're doing it.
