I'm the only person who can drive properly

Now, I'm not against fog lights used in foggy weather. But there seems to be an epidemic of people using them when it's not even remotely foggy.

Only this morning was I nearly blinded by somebody driving along in front of me with their rear fog light on. It was so bright, it burnt into my retina for hours after which meant I couldn't even read his number plate!

Now, I'm not against shortcuts. They're great, obviously. They save you time. But some roads are obviously shortcuts - you know the sort I mean, they are usually a long way round, or some slow, back streets you use to get around the traffic?
You'd never use them normally. But, for some inexplicable reason, some muppets use them, but then just drive really slowly. Errrr, HELLO?! Why you're using a shortcut, but then cancelling out any time gained by driving really slowly?! You ABSOLUTE muppet.

You won't be surprised to find that the majority of the people who do this drive either a white van or a Corsa.

CUT IT OUT.

The whole area around Luton Airport is now SO infested with roadworks, it now takes me 45 minutes to do the 8 miles to work. And they've just added some more to another roundabout, just to stir things up a bit!

Now, I'm all for doing lots of different roadworks at the same time (e.g. When gas and cable companies need to put a pipe in the same hole), but only if it's on the same road! It's getting ridiculous.

Still, when the roadworks around the airport are finally completed, it should help things a LOT. There will be a direct road straight from the terminal to the M1 (sort of) which should take the bulk of the traffic off the local roads.

Enjoy.

It was half-term last week, and MY GOD couldn't you just tell?! It took me about half the time to get to work.

I wonder why kids are all so fat these days? Maybe it's because they all get fed crap at home, don't do any exercise, and get chauffeured to school every day when they could just walk, thereby reducing the amount of traffic on the roads into the bargain.

I walked to school and back EVERY day of my school life - a journey of around 20-25 minutes each way. So SORT IT OUT.

It's time Vauxhall Corsas were banned. They are an absolute menace. They are almost exclusively driven by women, or 17 year old kids who can't afford the insurance on anything else.

For starters, they are underpowered, and struggle up hills. But I think the main problem is the kind of person who chooses to drive them. They are not confident drivers and so tend to drive too slow for the conditions, and do all of the things I mention below!

SORT IT OUT, MUPPETS. GET THEM BANNED.

I really can't see why we have roundabouts. I mean, don't get me wrong, they're a great idea - they're supposed to keep the traffic flowing, unlike the endless traffic lights you get in the US which mean you just keep stop-starting all the way through a city.
However, some people (and I have to say I've noticed it tends to be women more than men) stop at roundabouts even if there is nothing coming!

Sorry, but what's the point? It's not 'safer' because, chances are, the person behind you will assume you're going because there is nothing coming, so they'll end up ramming you from behind, and all you're doing is causing a queue of traffic, so you might aswell just put traffic lights in.

SORT IT OUT.

Look, if you're not overtaking, just keep left. It's only polite, and it also ensures you are not the cause of a huge tailback because everybody has to go into the right-hand lane to overtake you.

Do not sit in the middle lane for no reason. Only stupid people do this.

Thanks.

P.S. On the subject of cars, driving and such stuff, check out this number plates blog for a right riveting read.

There's a sign in the UK which is round, with a white background, and has a black diagonal line going through it. I go down a road with that on every day, and yet 99% of the time I come nowhere near the conditions set out by the sign.

Therefore I can only conclude that 99% of people do not know what it means.

LOOK IT UP, MUPPET.
