Not a bad guess but more likely an ex-US Navy officer. It's an American company and the people they employ in areas such as that and security tend to be ex-military.

I'm more bothered about the feckwits that think a little mist or rain is an excuse to put their fog lights on and dazzle anyone behind them.

Round my way you they don't even need a bit of mist or rain to put their fog lights on. It seems to be in the code of boy racing that they drive around with the fog lights on. Really gets on my t1ts.

I apologise if I caused offence, I know that I should try harder to be understanding of the ways of the 21st century.

Up until this morning I couldn't give a f***, but I have just done my companies 'Equality and Diversity Awareness' online training and I fell like a new man.

No offence caused at all so no need to apologise about it.

Most drivers on the road are too stupid to be allowed to drive but then the driving "test" is dumbed down to the intellectual equivalent of an amoeba.
Sweeping generalisation I know but then when you see, hear listen to the things that "qualified" drivers do you have to shake your head.
If a similar kind of attitude happened in a business environment there would be people sacked on the spot for putting people lives at risk and the business.
To all those who complain that the police are too thorough with motorists all I can say is tough, at least they are doing something to curb incompetent morons who believe speed limits, lane discipline etc are not for them.

I ranted about this the other day on facebook, in London you could barely see 20 metres in front of you and the amount of cars that not only failed to put their fog lights on but failed to put ANY lights on. Cars just popping out of the fog, people are idiots.

Non indicators really wind me up, I mean it's not even a difficult process, and middle lane hoggers on the motorway.

There are lots of problem drivers on the road. The solution is very simple as well, make everyone undergo a driving refresher course every so often.

Re: Turn your lights on ! : Sun Dec 15, 2013 9:57 pm  

Other people using the road at very same time as I am using it is damned inconsiderate.
And another thing, when other people do daft things I get irate, but I manage to make allowances for myself when I do them.
That's only because I'm perfect though.
Grrrrrrrrr!
Road rage!

Useless. Unless you can change driver behaviour somehow, then it's a lost cause. Let's face it, those who drive the worst - the most dangerous - largely don't do so out of inability; they are just assholes, and deliberately drive aggressively and with no respect or thought for other road users.
