Poor driving in the snow
Discussion
Today on my way to Bridgend on the A48 a young lady with an elderly passenger decided to tailgate and then try to overtake despite the second lane being covered in snow she failed. She finally managed to overtake with slush and spray flying everywhere and then roared off into the distance. I do wonder how this kind of driver manages to stay alive ! Anyone else seen this kind of lunacy ?

Yes, had a prat in a Saxo driving the same way the other day, obviously didn't notice the snow, ice and slush. I was about to pull over and let it go by but the idiot luckily turned off at the next junction.Yep guy in a large 4x4 driving too quickly for conditions and in the middle of the road, which meant i had to pull onto the slush/deeper snow.
Have to say hats off to the retail park in Talbot Green, dropped my daughter to work earlier and its almost completely clear of snow and nice black tarmac everywhere!

Seen numerous cases of bad driving, be it people not observing the road ahead so overtaking in slush/ice covered lane. Tailgating and driving without clearing snow from their vehicle. Not my photo, but this was spotted on the M4 yesterday.
That Audi driver should be prosecuted, the number plate is fairly clear too.pingu393 said:
Holding up an obviously faster driver - not really in the PH spirit, is it, Old Bean?
Said by someone that clearly doesn't know Steve J I saw a car down your neck of the woods on Saturday Steve that had the letter box sized clear bit on their windscreen, all rest of car covered in snow. Idiots.

Hi Debs, long time no hear, trust you are well. I have no objection to people driving like numptys, if it puts meat risk then I get peed orf I saw a car down your neck of the woods on Saturday Steve that had the letter box sized clear bit on their windscreen, all rest of car covered in snow.

Don't know what it was about Friday when the snow came down, but all the rules seemed to go out of the window. I had pedestrians walking across the road in front of me, idiots driving ..... like idiots and of course there were taxi drivers cutting across me without warning. There again, that's nothing different for a Cardiff taxi driver is it?
Daughter was overtaken by a woman driving a mini 4x4 (Suzuki she thinks) today in a 40 mph (out of Llanhari downhill) stretch today, she then over took two more cars to a chorus of Horns!!!??
Three cars abreast at Asda Cardiff Gate roundabout today, van driver in middle lane cuts right across me (id held back as could see it coming) in third lane and guess what I could see him holding in his right hand, yep texting and driving in this weather!
Some people are fking idiots!
