[OT] Mwa ha ha stupid cagers
Riding home down Oxford Street/Wilmslow Road in Manchester I came across a load
of cones blocking half the road and big ****-off signs saying 'ROAD CLOSED' and 'DIVERSION' with an arrow pointing down a side street. I also saw a load of cars attempting to drive on the wrong side of the road against the oncoming traffic. They travelled about, ooh, 50metres before they all got stuck. The best bit was that they couldn't get out again 'cos there was no-where to turn and the car at the back couldn't see that the one at the front was stuck. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Just proves what I've always thought - a lot of drivers are just sheep. They don't think they, just follow the one in front, usually too close. -- Mark After thinking long about a signature I've decided not to bother. |

Once upon a time roadworks restricted one of the London bridges - I forget
which - to one lane northbound. The other lane is coned off, but Captain Clueless decides he and his supersonic Golf GTi will use it anyway. Zoom zoom he Goes, until brought to a sudden and permanent halt by the four foot deep hole someone had thoughtlessly left lying around just where the road reached terra firma once more. Passing cyclists - including my mate Ian - point and laugh. -- Dave Larrington - http://www.legslarry.beerdrinkers.co.uk/ ================================================== ========= Editor - British Human Power Club Newsletter http://www.bhpc.org.uk/ ================================================== ========= |

My fave, from a couple of years ago:
So we're all driving along the A6, a day after a heavy snowfall: the road's been cleared, but we're Proceeding With Caution. The road widens into a dual carriageway; and the Big German Car, who's presumably bored with travelling at a mere 35mph, instantly pulls out to overtake the queue. What he hasn't observed is that the right-hand lane hasn't been cleared, and still has a foot of virgin snow in it. Deceleration from 60-0 in a few yards, and a slow dwindling to nothing in everybody else's rear view mirror. -- Mark, UK. Nobody can be lucky all the time; so when your luck deserts you in some fashion don't think you've been abandoned in your prime but rather that you're saving up your ration. |

One I spotted a couple of years ago around Pinner:
- dustbin truck collecting dustbins - hazards on - car approaching goes to overtake it - dustbin truck moves on (hazards still flashing, not indicators) - van coming the other way - driver realises he's not going to make it, with nowhere left to go he totals the keep left sign in the central refuge I saw the start of it as I cycled by in the other direction, heard the end of it, luckily the only casualties were the keep left sign and the driver's pride.

Someone tried a similar thing near Larrington Towers a few years ago, but as well as the pride and the Keep Left side, he also murdered a lamp post. His motorcar ended up lying on its back as if to have its axles tickled... -- Dave Larrington - http://www.legslarry.beerdrinkers.co.uk/ ================================================== ========= Editor - British Human Power Club Newsletter http://www.bhpc.org.uk/ ================================================== ========= |

A couple of days after Mark posted this I was riding in the opposite direction (north) along the same road in the early evening. I nearly fell off my bike laughing when I saw there were two cycle cops going along this line of idiots booking them. -- Lazlo's Chinese Relativity Axiom: No matter how great your triumphs or how tragic your defeats---approximately one billion Chinese couldn't care less.
