Taking us for a ride

By Roger Clarke on Jun 14, 09 08:43 AM

Does anyone else hate drivers who think every other car is banned from bus lanes except theirs?

The ones I really hate are those who scurry along on the inside while you follow the rules and when you reach a junction and want to turn left the road is full of cars who shouldn't even be there and who won't even let you in.

And have you noticed the drivers of bus lane cars all suffer from deafness, stiff necks and lack of eye mobility. If you stare at them their heads and eyes never move - they just stare straight ahead.

They are the same breed who avoid queuing in lanes to go left, right, straight on or whatever, cutting in at the last second to the annoyance of everyone who has waited their turn. The Perry Bar flyover at One Stop is a favourite for that. Heading into the city they scuttle down the inside hoping for a gap created by someone a little slow on the gears or failing that forcing one. Coming back it is the exit from the underpass where they try to jump the queue, relying on other drivers to avoid an accident..

I reckon that the standard of driving and courtesy on the road in this country is probably at about its lowest ever but then again when policing and safety of our roads is left down to revenue generating cameras it is hardly surprising we have a group of motorists who think the secret of good driving is braking hard every time you pass a yellow box.
