I feel your pain Dave.
Another thing I often see, especially at a primary school near me, is women driving huge 4x4 vehicles for the school run.
They are thirsty, ugly and take up lots of space. Many of the mummys can hardly see over the dashboard!
Most of the vehicles have never seen a dirt track.
Chelsea tractors as they are better known.
I mean whats wrong with a nice little Ford FIesta?!
I suffer from paranoid amnesia. I can't remember who I don't trust.

I agree with you Dave. Should really put a sign on saying Beware not thinking about other road users. As for that comment about Chelsea Tractors, how can you say such a thing. They go off roading round the car park at Sainsburys.

The 4x4's they drive aren't to pretty either

I've seen them described as having 'aggressive' looks in the adverts for them.
As if we need more aggression on the roads.

In our country the "baby onboard" stickers are outdated.
Today's cars feature the child's (mostly stupid) name - written all across the window!
That's why I had a good laugh at this recently:
Translate: "nobody wants to know the names of your fat children!"
