Default All out tonight

Lemmings and halfwit car drivers a plenty tonight.

Decides to run instead of waiting:



This one didn't even bother to look



This one (yes it was a woman) was so keen to put her car in the yellow box she didn't bother to check the bus lane.



Red lights don't apply to BMW drivers. M3 reg number DS53OWX



Guess what she did next. Mirror/signal/maneuver... nope Maneuver/signal miss out the mirror bit. i could see her in the mirror, she didn't bother to use it. And no, there isn't a space to put the car in, there is a 106 in what looks like a space (its over to the left of the lane though).



There were several more, but these were within a 3 minute section.

BTW none of these caused any near misses or incidents, mainly as I didn't show the same total disregard to what was going on around me.

Be careful out there.

Edit: Would the plod do anything if I reported the BMW and showed them video evidence (and could I do that without leaving the sofa)?

You're right mate. I don't know what it is but there was something in the air when I was riding back in rush hour traffic this afternoon. Funnily enough, I was riding back from a speed awareness course

Fun those aren't they. It's amazing how little people who are allowed to drive know about the rules of the road.
On mine somebody thought you were far enough away from the car in front as long as you could see the road under the wheels!
How slow did you get it down to before they clocked you?

Well I won't lie, I did learn one or two things, but you can tell the difference in general observation skills of the people who've never ridden a motorcycle or bicycle on the road.

Gonna sound cliche but, I don't believe I was doing this speed (36)! "Honest Guv" lol. Its a notorious camera placed halfway up a hill, one of those that you always remember as its so obvious. I reckon a car beside me set it off but I just took the course The irony of it all never ceases to amaze me.
