is there something in the water?

Theres always been the odd hot shot on the roads round here. Last weekend there where several hit and runs that woodie family members individually witnessed. My one was near fatal. A bloke in a mini by rye hotel who tried to skip the one way system there and took a motor bike/rider out. Drove off and parked,rang the girlfriend and said 'report the car stolen immediately". As another motorcyclist had witnessed too, got the number, the arrest was made. The whole thing was so quick and shocking. the weekend went from there. Crazies on forest hill road, peckham rye consort road (think its called by scutari). Kid we think hit, police knocking on doors for witness..

Just seems like homicidal driving is on an up.

i think there is something in the water and you were drinking it before you posted, you want to edit that post and try and make it sound semi sensible.

[Sandperson]

Stb, makes perfect sense to me. The driving in the area is getting worse. Noone stops for amber lights (they barely pause for reds) and road rage and selfish driving just seem to be get worse.

I've noticed when out on my bicyclette that people seem to drive a lot more erratically when it is windy for some reason.

As for using zebra crossings - you really are taking your life in your hands.

This post has just reminded me.

To the idiotic cyclist (if you view this forum) who thinks he is above the law when it comes to stopping at RED lights.

You jumped the red light at junction of Forest Hill Rd/Wood Vale last Tuesday around 6:30pm when it was my right of way. I almost ran you over. You then proceeded to do it again further down the road and you were almost run over by a car exiting Dunstans Rd.

Red lights apply to both cars and BIKES you stupid prick.

It's only motorists escaping from the nazi Traffic Wardens

Agree about people being amber gamblers and not stoppin at zebras. If noone stops for me, I wave at them in a very exaggerated, friendly way, just so they get the message that I think they are selfish morons. It is VERY satisfying! Try it.

[Keef]

I just scream C*NT!!! At them... Also satisfying ;-)

[Nero]

I agree, but I'd say they are expecting you to be nasty, but when you wave and smile at them like a long lost relative, they feel puzzled, then embarrassed. Shame and guilt is a better way of getting them to change their behaviour than making them angry. Just give it a go.

[Keef]

Careful not to confuse them too much though, you may cause them to crash! Heh heh heh heh >:D

What's wrong here?

This car was parked on the yellow zigzags outside The Harris Academy (formerly Waverley Girls) between 8.30 and 9.30 this morning.

This car belongs to the Police Officer that assists the girls crossing the road from the bus in the morning and keeps order in the afternoon at the 343/484 bus stop.

Well done officer! What a great example you set

What?s wrong with this picture?

It is taken by someone who should have been concentrating on driving their car at the time?

[KalamityKel]

Haha Brendan I was thinking the same thing

[lozzyloz]

Shouldn't you blank out the car reg? Now he can sue you for tens of thousands of pounds for invasion of privacy and publicly disclosing details of his private vehicle. Better get a good lawyer.

Don't worry Brendan, I stopped to take it. Quite safely.

[Brendan]

Isn?t having a number plate in its self, public disclosing the details of a private vehicle?

[lozzyloz]

Not unless it's something like 8R3 NDAN

[boosboss]

Just for you I've edited the pic. :)

Parked facing oncoming traffic....

Maybe worth sending this to the local cop shop.
