    It was the Tesco dash this morning. as I pulled into the car park I was cut up by the boy racer, you know the type, male, young, peak cap the wrong way round and with his mates on board..
    I made a mistake.....
    I made eye to eye contact...
    I did not need an interpretor to understand the mouthful of abuse that came my way because I had the cheek to prevent him pulling out in my right of way!
    Just two words. first one starting in F and the second starting in O
    I hope to see him wrapped around a tree sometime..........

    Yes, I know what you mean.
    I get it all the time.
    A women alone in a car.
    They cut me up.
    And give me the strangest hand signals :scratch: :)
    They try to race me off the lights on the dual carriageway where I live.
    I'm a 56 year old grandmother for goodness sake.
    But just sometimes when I'm feeling particularly young and in a devilish mood,I do put my foot down .


    The look on their faces :lollol:

    :( It is so sad I think, Robert that so many of todays youngsters are very rude & ignorant... 2 seconds later v& he would have driven into you... That it trouble as we are not covered by our insurances in supermarket or many other car parks come to that, if there is an accident...!!:mad::mad: Some guy hit me in the car park & that is how I found out about the lack of cover in such places......!!!! Why I had been driven into with witnesses.... Oooh....!!:scratch::mad:
    :thmb: So maybe.... In a strange way, I think you had a lucky escape Robert......:wink:

    Odd, I never get any trouble in the Shogun-when I drive the posh car it`s all I get-abuse.

    But then I won`t smash into them in the nice car hehe

    Tis true that we do not see much of that type of behavior in these parts. That is probable why it has stuck with me.
    Plus I am an advanced driver and I would like to think that the training helped in a possible nasty situation.

    And the ones who sit on your tail itching to get past then they scream past with loud noise when on coming traffic .

    Some whould no tbe allowed to drive ,we all have speed on the peddle if needed.

    I could go on.

    No tall young drivers are bad but a big majority are and very scary and indimidating.

    :mad::mad::mad: OK... My observation is the increase again in vandalism to parked cars...!!!!!!!:mad::mad:
    :dh::mad: Today it was windscreen wipers..!!!!!!! All bent round backwards so you cannot use them..!! All the cars down one side of the street..!!!!!!

    :( Now the evenings have started to draw in it is starting again.....:mad::mad: I realise it is often young children doing it, but very often they are doing it for older children as we found out last year when people were having car badges stolen...!! Police found a organised little ring of senior school kids running it with the youngsters doing the dirty work...!!!!:dh::mad:

    :( So that is my observation today...!!!!!:(
