Boils my ****, that does, along with the idiots nosing out into traffic with buggies.
As for the mp3… I’m guilty there.I was sat at the head of a traffic queue on the bike one time, watching for the lights to go.Looked round to see a police car with the passenger gesticulating wildly for me to get out of the way.Hadn’t heard the sirens :Whistling:(I should have seen them in the mirrors, but I was intent on making a quick getaway at the lights…)
ugg boot fashion clad mums with their 3 wheel bugaboo buggies round clapham do it too much i see it so much in the summer scares the life out of me id never push my boy out first
well our pushchair arrives today, the baby in July and I’m determined that we are not going to pushing the infant out onto the road first. I have never understood how parents can do that, like testing the water with their offspring. Bizarre.
You be surprised what you get use to:w00t: Doesn’t just apply to the road either!! Spend my whole day frustrated (work mainly) trying to stop the stupid feckers making idoit decisions, and what worse, clearly it up when they do…If I had my way, I say stop screening or treating Chlamydia, for anyone diagnosed more than once . Should slow/ stop the chavs from bredding. It a shame that natural selection ceases to take place of the evolution of man kind…
Can I add people on crutches to the list of people that seem to want to cross the road when it’s busy both ways. Makes you wonder how they got on crutches in the first place! :w00t:
On the MP3 thing; I was on a bus going down Oxford Street the other day and was amazed at the number of people who just wandered out into the road, headphones on…in their own little world, never mind the No.73 bearing down on them. Really don’t think I could be a bus driver…I’d just run the eejits over!
There was a fatal accident at a S. London station (forget which) where a young lad wearing headphones leaned over the edge of the platform and got a fair amount removed from the top of his head by a passing “down fast”…trouble is, people seem to switch MP3 on and brain off!
Pushchairs over the edge…well I think some mums have always done it, one guy i knew had his first bike-related accident when his mum pushed him out in the road and he was hit by a Belgian rider coming round the bend on the wrong side of the road:w00t:
…and he’s now in his fifties!
I can’t help thinking with some of them there’s an element of “dares” in their actions, thinking there’s no way a motorist would hit their kid (and maybe stop to let them cross)…which is pretty bloody daft given the observational skills of some drivers!
