Party Sprite, 'car...Tattooed Mummy, thank you!<br /><br />Party Sprite, 'careless' is a very polite way to put it! It is scary when you have your children in the car.<br /><br />Diney, some people are so rude! Smiling is a much better response to bad driving than gesturing. I shake my head reproachfully. They probably don't even notice!<br /><br />The Mad House, I totally agree!<br /><br />Fraught Mummy, I'm sure I've read a Dear So and So on your blog about Bosnian drivers! Be careful when you get back to the UK or I may have to shake my head at you! ;-)<br /><br />Fun Mum/Glum Mum, do you feel better for your little rant? I know I do!<br /><br />Heather, thanks. Yes, a lot of drivers are bullies. They drive on your bumper making anything you do dangerous. Grr!<br /><br />Victoria, I've never cycled on London. I think you would need to be very brave to do so. Why do people change when they get behind the wheel? I hate it.<br /><br />Make Do Mum, thanks. It makes me wonder whether half of them have passed their driving test!<br /><br />Ruth, I know. I only drive about twice a week, the rest of the time I walk everywhere. The pavements are narrow where we live so I worry about vans and lorries clipping the pushchair.<br /><br />Josie, there are so many lunatics on the road. I worry every time I drive on the motorway in particular. Having said that I prefer to drive as I'm such a nervous passenger! x<br /><br />Laura, what a great idea, I bet hardly anyone would pass! xsanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12004801243819162845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3629523777912990939.post-24530169560981016182009-12-09T22:29:44.826+00:002009-12-09T22:29:44.826+00:00Agree with you 100%!

It terrifies me to be honest. I think I'm a good driver it's just everyone else! I always feel at the mercy of all the lunatics out there on the road so tend to opt out and walk or make Ant drive instead ;)<br />xJosie @Sleep is for the Weakhttp://sleepisfortheweak.org.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3629523777912990939.post-37464415147899354022009-12-09T12:39:20.059+00:002009-12-09T12:39:20.059+00:00I don't/can't drive, so I'm with you. ...I don't/can't drive, so I'm with you. Bad enough when I'm a pedestrian, but when I'm cycling? Jeez, that's when bad driving (people beeping at me for daring to be on the same road as them!) really gets to me. What should I do, ride on the pavement?

When I took hubby to England for first time, we left the airport in a taxi and he sat cowering in the back as the driver swerved and bullied his way down the four lane motorway. He'd never seen such a sight or so many cars in the same place all at once.<br /><br />nice rant.Not From Laplandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17165208811776097332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3629523777912990939.post-14506381236675746032009-12-09T09:30:17.088+00:002009-12-09T09:30:17.088+00:00im with you on that, i live in stafford where cars...im with you on that, i live in stafford where cars do not come equipped with indicators. or at least thats what you would think the way people drive round here! one of the few times i saw someone using one they went in the opposite direction to the indicaters!! duh! so frustrating and dangerous! oh dear think i may have had a little rant of my own there xfun mum / glum mumhttp://www.funmumglummum.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3629523777912990939.post-74292620749892912912009-12-08T21:30:02.555+00:002009-12-08T21:30:02.555+00:00Don't come to Bosnia.

And it shows in their accidents.<br /><br />I'm a bit worried that I may have absorbed some local habits to survive here and I'm going to have to unlearn them pretty fast.Dorset Dispatcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10457466586411004146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3629523777912990939.post-59055392656136927232009-12-08T21:06:15.440+00:002009-12-08T21:06:15.440+00:00I think that indicators have become optional extra...I think that indicators have become optional extras in new cars!!!Jen Walshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07374363403295342745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3629523777912990939.post-19787851334867849972009-12-08T17:01:47.326+00:002009-12-08T17:01:47.326+00:00I was eyeballed and then given a v sign yesterday ...I was eyeballed and then given a v sign yesterday by a clearly rude woman in the narrow country lane where I live - and she had just passed a 'pull in' on her side of the road!

I wouldn't have bothered too much normally but with my girls in the back and a huge gap behind me there really wasn't any need to make me brake so suddenly. We do get a lot of careless drivers round here - especially on the country roads.Party Spritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07418831483388038311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3629523777912990939.post-51182824697063931062009-12-08T14:27:00.937+00:002009-12-08T14:27:00.937+00:00totally agree with you - nice rant!!totally agree with you - nice rant!!Tattooed Mummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05756762569823259874noreply@blogger.com
