have been cut up twice in the past week by two old fuckers.
First one was on the way into and industrial estate, old man just cut right across into my lane, had to slam on the brakes, tooted him but i dont even think he knew he was on planet earth let alone Sainsburys car park!
2nd was yesterday evening, going down a dual track, old women just cut from the right lane straight into mine, had to slam on the brakes, gave her some horn action, then she proceeded to swerve back out of my lane in a panic into the other lane, good job nothng was overtaking else god knows what would have happened.
And the ironic thing is, im paying more on my insurance and it was my awareness that avoided both these accidents, so basically im paying for the privellage to watch out for these fuckers so they get to pay less!
Insurance companies reckon that statistically less old ppl have crashes, i reckon its just cos theres less of them on the road, if they took the amount of accidents per 100 old people and compare it to 100 middleaged/younger drivers the proportion would be higher, and even if its not its bcus of our fucking awareness that stops Mavis from losing her false teeth

its worse when it happens on a round about, coming home from lincoln yesterday n a big foooook off lorry just pulled out causing me to come to a complete stop on the roundabout it wudn't have bothered me if it wasn't a busy roundabout but its the busiest i know with big lorrys comin in either direction. Thing that pissed me off was he was laughing about it when he did it

no what happens is women and old people do something infront of you forcing you to take avoiding action then another man ploughs into the side/back of ya... but the stupid fcuker who caused u to swerve/brake is long gone and hasent a clue of what they have just caused and u and chap get the blame.

old people seem to think if they act like they half dead, then they become invisible...
i see such wrecks of people trying to drive, is a danger, especially as they pasted all them years ago and the roads have changed so much, a lot more busy and a lot more rules...

the gay thing is most old people have never taken a test, they got there license in the 50's when if you owned a motorcycle you were given a driving license!. How can they say that sumone who has never taken a test is safer then sumone whos learnt under strict guidance and a taken a tough test ?

Yeh, old people pay so little on insurance, i think its because they don't actually have accidents they just cause them

another thing which seems to be getting bad lately is folks pulling out on a roundabout when theyre ment to be giving way to the traffic coming from the right, i think people have forgotten this law or summit

the old people round here are terrible. old guy nearly pulled out into the side of me today, had a look on his face like "where the hell did he come from", even though i could see him looking both ways. maybe he was blind. or didnt see me cos my cars black n blended into the road :S
also, they like to do 40mph along 60 limits, n then stick at 40mph through the 30 limit in the village

another thing which is gay are women drivers get to pay less, my gf even admits that men are better drivers, yes you get some turkeys but take the average man against the average women and they have more aptitude in a car
