Driver's logic

[Deleted member 1258]

The old saying is there's nowt as strange as folk. When I moved here just over 5 years ago I had only my bikes, but I was driving vans for the firm I worked for, made redundant 2010, I would regularly borrow the works van for trips to the tip etc, I brought my own car about 14 months ago and have been driving regularly as well as riding my bikes since, there are still neighbours that think I can't drive, in the 14 months I've had the car I've been driving to work once or twice a week, as well as cycling the other days, there are still people at work who think I can't drive.

OK I take it back

SOME drivers have no logic..

Moan about the condition of roads, call them 3rd world, then when a massive project begins to resurface every road in Sheffield, abuse the roadwork gangs

Me too.

Despite the fact that they know I was a towbar fitter for some years at that company which involved picking up customers cars and driving them to a separate workshop. Despite the fact that I do sometimes turn up in a car, and up until about 4 years ago ALWAYS drove every day (I have been there since 1996 and bought a car in 97). Despite the fact that I am one of only a couple of people who can (legally or capability) drive the 7.5 tonner

But the only reason anyone would cycle is because they can't drive, of course....

I was sat at work waiting for a load one day whilst talking to another driver about how I cycle to work every day come rain and shine, he asked me did I not have a licence....
I just looked at him blank... then said I'm a HGV driver like you, you knob,
just because I cycle everywhere doesn't mean I don't drive. Everyone in the room fell about laughing
He doesn't talk to me much theses days think I embarrassed him a bit

In a separate incident near Wybourn a driver drove into a coned off area because he did not want to use the diversion route, an Amey spokesperson said.

When he was told the road was closed for re-surfacing he threatened the crew saying he would be "back later to sort you out".

ffs
