The other day one of our drivers was involved in a accident , it was at a very busy junction where you have two lanes going straight on and two lanes for turning right,
Our driver was turning right and was on the outside lane , the lights changed and of he went then the next minute there was a bang and this car had tried to turn right but coming from the left hand lane which is for vehicles going straight on,
Well there was a right dent in the back door of this car but thank god no body was hurt,
In the car there was a lady driver her mum in the passenger seat and two kids in the back of the car in car seats,
Lots of swear words was said from this lady to our driver and the next minute another car pulled up and this bloke came out ranting and raving at our driver,
Our driver called the police and within minutes they was there,
In the mean time our driver made sure everyone was ok well sort , he was taking pictures of the car and the road as he was in the right lane and this driver was not,
On the pictures was this drivers mum sitting in the front seat giving the finger to our driver and you could see her evil face making other signs, what a great family ,
The police told the female driver totally her fault as the arrows on the road state which lane you should be in, her answer to them i always do this ,
The the women had the neck to call next day saying our driver drove into her and she wanted the car fixing ,
Scum springs to mind , what chances do the children have with family members like this

This is why I put a dash cam hard wired into each of our cars. Accidents will happen, occasionally with nice people with morals. However, the chances are the person you collide with is an .... (hence how you came to collide with them in the first place).

I advocate licensing for both breeding and driving... with an automatic re-test after accidents such as this one.

Well you would not believe what happened this morning,
Taking Ems to work just around 6,30am and going around the ring road in the right lane too, this car came up so fast i thought he was going to hit me,
He was that close and as soon as he could he past me over the chevrons then went as fast as he could,
Well we came around the corner to traffic lights but he was going that quick he must have managed to get through before they changed to red, BUT NO HE DID NOT,
They must have been on red when he got there, he took the left filter turn and then went through the green on the crossroads,WELL WOULD YOU BELIEVE THAT,
Anyway the lights changed and of we went to the next set and yes you have guessed it waiting there was this idiot , no boy racer at the wheel but some thick middle age t---t,
Where are the police or cameras to get idiots like these of the roads

Often they end up taking themselves off the road... permanently. Hopefully without killing anyone else in the process.

I've more or less stopped driving now, but had to hire a van last weekend.

I was glad to hand it back on Monday morning to be honest. No licence or insurance to worry about, quite apart from the roads full of morons these days. Lord knows who is teaching the recent generation of careless idiots... zero use of indicators, not giving way, no courtesy (like letting you out of a side road by flashing you, because they're going to be turning into the road you want to be out of), STILL yacking on phones etc.

I too am relived to no longer drive and wont bother renewing my licence when it comes up again.
