im afraid to say...

...that theres one more wreckless driver on the roads. My friend passed his test over half term, and as you do, daddy bought him a nice new freelander sport so, he offered to take me for a spin today... maaan what a mistake. He was easily doing 60mph in a 30 zone, I was basically telling him how to drive - at one point he was reaching a dangerous hill with a blind bend at the bottom at around 60mph - all country lanes!!! I dont even go down that hill on my bike at 30mph its that dangerous. anyway, he text me saying whether I want to go out for longer tomorrow in our free period... me thinks not, now I need an excuse - or maybe I should stand up as a cyclist and tell him how crap his driving is.

adios

you dont need an excuse to stay alive. Just tell him you'll get back in when he calms down and stops being a knob.

 

[roadiewill]

yup, his dads minted. get this right, I saw he had a handsfree mobile stand by the side of the steering wheel and said something about it...
it turns out that this isnt to hold a mobile, more like the wireless remote for opening his electirc gates when he gets home haha

depending how good a mate he is (and whether you want to keep him as one), I reckon you should. I'm sure part of the reason some young lads drive badly is peer pressure - maybe you could be the one peer that makes him see sense...

 

[roadiewill]

yeah guess I will have to
I just dont like the feeling of not beng in control of the situation

 

[Arch]

You could always make a 'joke' of it - "no thanks, mate,I'd rather live..." if you don't want to come over all serious.

 

[roadiewill]

yeah I might just say Ive got a meeting or something....

If you know where he drives like that often you could just shop him to the police before he kills someone.

When I watched my friends passing their tests at college I would seriously bollock any that drove like idiots. No time for them like that friend or not.

Just say:
No, you drive like a nob, im not going to get in a car with you untill you actually learn how to drive.
Someone in my family(somewhere) got his son a Land Rover Defender V8, the Lara Croft one, and hes only just 17.
Its worrying

My Brother's mate is like this (and the guy is old enough to know better). Bro tells him off constantly and if he can wont get in the same car as him.

I doubt your friend will be that worried if you dont go along. Perhaps encourage him to try some brush up lessons and give up the GTA games.

 

[postman]

Well done mate.That takes some guts to tell a mate.But you just might save his life and somemore.Again well done.

I know someone who is like that roadiewill. They've wrecked two cars in 6 months (not crashes or accidents of any sort) through aggressive driving and are no longer likely to have a car for a considerable time.

Times like this I wish I was female... they seem, dare I say it, much better, or should I say more considerate drivers. all my mates just seem crazy... too immature for a very real life situation, like you said, as if they're playing GTA
