on my way to the office, i stopped at a zebra crossing with more than enough time for a van to stop and let me across, instead he ploughed straight through, so i gave the van a bit of a kick. which lead to him stopping and calling me a wanker out of his window. tosser.

What a cock. At least you weren't on the crossing as he wasn't stopping...

Bad luck there Chappers.  I've been sticking pins into a Matchbox white Transit all afternoon!



Took me right back to 1979 when I tried to scarper across a zebra crossing on the way to school and was thanked for my impudence with a savage blow from a 'Jam Sandwich' with a pig at the wheel.  I woke up in the Derbyshire Royal Infirmary feeling like I'd spent too long in the Blue Oyster.  But felt rather pleased with myself when told I'd taken his flashing lights out on the way over the roof.  Tosser.

Has anyone else noticed in the last couple of years, as 'zebra'/'Belicia Beacon' crossings have become rarer and been replaced by traffic light pedestrian crossings, huge numbers of drivers blatantly drive straight over when people are waiting at the crossing and often actually on the crossing! Pisses me right off, its becoming as dangerous as crossings on the continent where stopping is optional.

The worst offenders I find are mums in their fucking 4x4's in supermarket car parks.  I know these brainless bitches think they own the road but shit, one gave me a look as if i was about to abduct her precious little Johnny from the back seat, just for trying to get to my car. (can this smiley be used in reference to women? if not  )

4 x 4's are things that really get me. Everyone seems to drive one here. Daily, I witness some of the worst, careless driving by the idiots behind the wheel of these behemoths. And most of the time these motors haven't and will never see a bit of dirt in their lives. Even here, where theres more off-road action than you can shake a shitty stick at.

The (not) funny thing is, is that poor 'little Johnny' stands a pretty good chance of getting reversed over by mumsie's Canyonero because of that big fucking blind spot.

Was at Sainsbury's yesterday with the in-laws and whilst waiting for a car to pull out we were hit from behind by a 4X4 (we were standing in the car park). No damage done but the silly cows were actually sitting in the wagon laughing!!!!! I soon wiped the smiles off their faces with some well chosen words.

But shopping in the 4X4, what's the fuel consumption like? Selfish rich bastards....

What really pisses me off, is that the 4x4 drivers always site the fact that they feel its a safer vehicle for their kids to travel in. That strikes me as one of the most annoying aspects of how as a population we are changing-the I'm ok, so to hell with everything and everyone else. The 4x4s certainly aren't safer for whoever they hit, be that pedestrian, cyclist or another 4x4.
As an aside-why can't kids walk to school these days?

Tests have proved they are certainly more dangerous for other cars as the chassis is high enough to pass over the other car's chassis as aradicate anything attached to it, including seats, people etc.

Kids can't walk to school because paedophiles lurk behind every bush and on every street corner, don't you read the Daily Mail. The kids are too fat from sitting in front of the Playstation all day plus they can't watch DVDs on the way to shcool if they are walking.

good on you. the cunts seldon stop for me at the crossing on me way to work unless i actually walk out in front of them.

[lorentz]

Totally agree with yer, Dave. I live and drive in london, but when I'm walking the only way to get fuckers to stop on the zebras is to be really assertive and step out on to the crossing whilst giving the driver the 'evils'. Always wave when they (screech to a) stop, mind you. Courtesy costs nowt.
