Twunt Driving Habits Nos.48 and 39

I think it must be that time of year. Your Recruting Officer has been spending quality pedestrian time adding to the list of stupid things people do in cars simply because they are too lazy to think. My campaign for people to have to retake a driving test at least every two years is forthcoming.

Reversing into main roads from side roads

This is done because twunt drivers always think about going forwards, not reversing (this theory often also applies to parking). Therefore when wanting to turn round they instinctively drive into a side road and then reverse into the main road, normally not bothering to look where they are going, or doing a poor job of it because they can't see what they are doing.

So twunt drivers, remember that bit on your driving test about reversing around a corner? Well... THAT'S HOW YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO IT. Planks.

Parking on 'zig-zags' at pedestrian crossings

This is one of those 'there's nowhere to park' scenarios where twunts either just wantonly abandon cars on pedestrian crossings or more popularly wait whilst someone has nipped out on that urgent 'buying a lottery ticket' or similar important mission.

So, twunts, listen up... PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS ARE NOT OVERFLOW PARKING.

I am convinced drivers are getting more and more lazy.

Which incidentally, was the reason why that Borough of Poole dustcart attacked my wing mirror at the start of January - because the driver cut across my lane to save that extra fractional wrist movement to stay in his. On the upside I have finally got the new mirror fitted today after their insurer agreed to pay up, however I have lost count of the hours of sorting out and aggravation it has taken, just to get reimbursed for getting it fixed myself, three months later. Hmmm...
