WTF is it with people in this weather?

Parking across the road, parking at the f***ng junction and my firm favorite, parking on roundabouts*




  • and before anyone asks, these cars weren't there when I went out for 40 mins this afternoon so they've not been abandoned.

anyone noticed as well that pedestrians seem more willing to dice with death crossing the road knowing that it's harder to brake due to lack of grip?

What about the muppet pedestrians that walk on the roads and dont move over an inch when your trying to get past.

Yeah, I've had that one today.

Prat ran out to cross the slushy/icy side road diagonally in front of me.

Looked like he'd missed this year's bull runs in Pamplona and was after some action silly

And has anybody noticed how it's now apparently acceptable to throw things at people's cars.

You'll find these are probably all parked near to a downward inclined street. People who live further down the slope do it. That way they can walk up the slope, then drive away, no trouble trying to get out of their street.

Annoys me too.

seems to have resulted in anything goes on the road;

fog lights in daylight
20 mph on a wet salted road - no need to go slow
30 mph tailgating on pure ice
driving in the middle of the road, even though only the pavement still has snow
cutting right across junctions ~(would have hit me if I had come to halt in the usual place)
following but not overtaking a bicycle
you turn in front of traffic in a place you'd never dare try a you turn
park on the edge of a junction
park over 1 foot from the kerb

and for some reason prius drivers going even slower than ever when pulling away, 0-20 in 2 minutes.
