Automatic handbrakes. If you can't tug a lever, you shouldn't be driving.

The irony being that most cara with auto handbrakes are higher end stuff like audis and merca and the deivers should be more than used to tugging on a lever ;)

Drivers down the motorway

1. Why do people feel the need to overtake another car in the slow lane that's doing 63MPH and their doing 64MPH?
2. Why do people feel they are above the law and stick to the middle lane regardless of what speed they are doing (usually slow)
3. Why do people do 65MPH in the middle lane and when you try to over take them they then change their speed to do excess speeds so you then have to go back behind them?
4. Why don't people look behind them, I almost witnessed an accident with an ambulance because I noticed it way way way down the road so when it started to get close I slowed down and some geezer decided it's jot good enough he would pull right in front of the ambulance which made the ambulance brake hard and he then blocked the traffic lights with his big American type truck so the ambulance was stuck. Not like someone's life could be depending on it...TIT.
5. Why do people speed through average speed cameras last night I saw 2 cars following each other easily hitting 100MPH shot straight past me with ease and everyone else and for what I saw they weren't slowing down

Motorway drivers are t^&ts.

The standard of driving in this country is generally poor. People don't use the left hand lane, they will use their phones, they drive too close, they're too aggressive and they tend to do everything at the last minute.

I have noticed that Monday driving is MUCH less stressful than the end of the week but that it progressively gets worse at a growing rate.

I drove for around 3 minutes in the first lane and must have gone past 6 cars in the middle lane yesterday.

The thing that really really annoys me is when you see 2 cars in the middle lane that are matching speeds to entire time you see them (they'll always be in the middle lane, never the left), you're catching them at 20mph or so and the second car pulls out just as you are going to overtake them and proceeds to match the car it was following for speed. You're hard on the brakes and waiting for a decade for him to complete the overtake. Grr!!

Trying to sell things! Specifically in this case animals, just grrrrrr, trying to sell some baby geckos we have bred, few months back some woman messages my Mrs about them but lives in Coventry, that's a fair trek for us, wants to arrange a courier, not keen on the idea but she wants 4 of our higher end geckos all 3 figure price tags, if she wants to arrange courier, fine, months pass, nothing, eventually messages the Mrs saying shes changed her mind after we have held on to these geckos for her....fine whatever these things happen and people can change their mind I can deal with that and accept it........

Re advertised them yesterday........

This time she messaged me asking about prices and stuff, politely told her to jog on!

No. A Golf GTD. Handling was good but a bit light for my tastes, engine a bit laggy but I couldn't really give it any stick.

The new council bitch in the family quarters right next to our block of flats. She's been arguing every bloody weekend since moving in and today was no different. Woke me up at 0545 with her horrible voice screaming and shouting at her BF and also hitting him (I know she was hitting him because the backwards c&*t was yelling In his very dumb voice at her to stop it).

If I can hear it what must it be like for the other families in that block.

Made a complaint about the stupid cow in the block of flats and found out that others have complained already about her. The funny thing is the council talked to her 1 or 2 days before the weekend and on the Saturday she woke up half the street with her F'ING dumb voice screaming and shouting. Problem is she does have a new born and it sounds like social may be involved. Although not surprised she has a group of lads in her flat every other night and I always see bags of bottles of booze going in. It's clearly not a healthy environment for the little one. But glad our taxes work hard....so she doesn't have to.
