It's only Friday Morning here and y'all have already put me in the Gutter!!:naughty:

 

For a second the word 'sandwich' popped up in my mind. But that's not a very decent thought, is it? :das:

 

:lmao: :lmao: Friday night is now replaced by FRIDAY!!!!! :roftl:

I had a very near miss on my way home tonight.

Came round a long bend, and there was a pick-up

truck turning in the middle of the road. No where to

go, so jumped on the brakes - the car skidded all

over the road!! The guys in the pick-up just laughed

then drove off :furious:

Morons - I really hurt my shoulder trying to control the skid!!! :boxed:

You know Wendi, I've been noticing a lot of that lately, total disregard for anyone else on the road.

I know van drivers have a bad name, and that's why I try not to do what the others do, but when people see you in a van they seem to take the idea that all van drivers are the same and several times recently, I've nearly ended up in a field to avoid people on the road.

It's crazy!

Are you okay? Did it shake you up a bit?

Yikes, I experience this crap everyday. I live off the 710 freeway in California. Now, the 710 freeway is the freeway that ends at the Port of Los Angeles and this is where most of the commerce comes into America. So, everyday, I have to battle 1000's of Big Rigs on my highway. It's so frustrating. They have no regards for the little cars. I've been cut off so many times and almost hit that it's ridiculous. It's gotten so dangerous now that the city is trying to figure out what to do about it. Whenever, I get to where I need to be, I'm so thankful that I made it there alive.

It was one of those flat bed pick-ups - it shook me up badly -

mainly because they were just so amused by it all. We were seconds

away from a nasty accident - but there again - they would not have

been injured - just me!!! :thumbdown:

I have seen bad van AND car drivers. I usually think the vans round here

tend to go quite fast is because, after speaking to a few making

deliveries to me, they have a very tight delivery schedule, and have

so many deliveries to make in a short space of time. I have a low

tolerance for bad driving - its usually speed, and impatience that

causes accidents. I did not even swear today - I was just so

shocked - BUT, if my bairns had been in the car I would have

gone daft!! I saw the vehicle about 30 mins later, when I was

talking to my son outside his shop. I had to stop him running after

the vehicle!!!! :roftl: :roftl:

Hi Shari xx

 

Yikes, I experience this crap everyday. I live off the 710 freeway in California. Now, the 710 freeway is the freeway that ends at the Port of Los Angeles and this is where most of the commerce comes into America. So, everyday, I have to battle 1000's of Big Rigs on my highway.

You have my admiration - the roads by you seem like madness -

and I could NOT drive there!!!

Wendi, it does seem to be most of the big rigs and delivery trucks that have no regard for anyone else. I acutally ran down someone that did that same thing to me once and he said, "Well, you shouldn't have been on the road." :shocked: OMG...they really feel like they own the road.

 

BTW- I ran down a cop who almost hit me. I chased him down for a couple miles down a dirt road. When he finally pulled over, I got out of my car and started yelling at him. I was so hot. I mean, he made me donut in the highway and didn't even pull over to see if I was okay. He looked so hurt and said, "he was sorry." I yelled, "Why didn't you pull over to see if I was okay." He was a rookie and stated that he was scared to death. I was like, if it had been the other way around, I would have been in handcuffs by now.

 

BTW- This cop is now 20 years on the force and recently ran into my Dad and asked how I was doing. :naughty:

I'm with you there Sheena, schoolrunners are horrendous. They don't care how or where they park and give you daggers looks if you get in their way.

I feel Carries wrath about to reign down on me for this:naughty:
