Cars are jammed full of distractions, the more modern the car the more distractions they tend to have. There are a lot of brainless cretins driving around, if you add the complication of distractions in, it’s a nightmare. I had a total plank try to overtake me on a blind bend tonight on a ride. Unsurprisingly, something came round the bend the other way, and rather than brake, the muppet swerved into me, missing me by a millimetre. He got caught in a jam round the next corner at a junction, so so put the bike down on the verge and went and had a word. The stupid old incompetent douchebag behind the wheel didn’t even acknowledge my protestations. If he had dropped the window, I could have pointed out the error of his ways more easily. The guy behind him, did wind his window down and told me he had seen it and had it on dash cam. I have the web address of a site you can use to point out truly dangerous driving to the DVLA, if you have footage. That doesn’t help if you get wiped out by these incompetent cretins though, it’s a bit late, if they’ve put you in the hedge ( or worse ). I do a lot of road miles, I see, and experience things that are beyond the comprehension of any sane, right thinking individual, and for the vast majority of the time, these idiots, don’t even acknowledge their utter stupidity. That’s the kicker, I see stupid people, they don’t know they’re stupid.

Can we have that website link .....maybe as a sticky ?

Its gotta be worth a punt

That doesn't tell them who the driver is.

I'm convinced that link is not for reporting driving incidents but for raising concerns about the medical fitness of a particular person to drive.

Punt isn't used any more, they use the euro now.

Thats an issue tho. If you're very stupid, how would you know? Stupidity isn't self aware and even if it was, do you really think these brain-bypasses would bother to go to university to de-stupidize themselves? Public education cant be helping either IME. How can I learn something when a bully has my head held firmly below the water line!
 
I arrived in Scotland in 1983 lol
Wot? You took the train from Cambuslang to Rutherglen? It's only a stop, did you not have a bike? :laugh: ;)
I think the ex baths are wasteland now.
OT I'm amazed the amount of folk in London who take the tube for one or two stops. They spend 2-3mins going down the escalators etc with folk constantly bumping into them then 2-3mins on the train (often standing and crushed) and then spend 2-3mins getting to street. They probably could have walked it in 15mins
