Great minds think alike, and all that.

But fools seldom differ…

I know it was raining and there was spray coming off the vehicles ahead that reduces visibility. But seriously, driving about 40 on a 60 mph freeway is going to cause more problems than you think it will prevent.

I remember on one trip to the US seeing one thing that caused me to do a double take, sadly no camera with me. It was an oversized pickup, with a small European pickup on its bed :open_mouth:

Yeah, that’s an option instead of a spare tire now.

Pollution controls on vehicles in the US are higher as well.

This is a footpath arsehole.

Oh wait, I did say that. Right after he tooted at me for having the unmitigated gall to walk on a footpath he wanted to cross and wound down his window to yell at me.
I got in first.

Definitely sounds like it was a footpath arsehole.

Or perhaps a road arsehole.

:wink:

(Sorry, I couldn’t help myself)

Yeah, there probably should have been a comma in there. But commas usually indicate where you would pause while speaking something and there was no pause - just a change in emphasis :smile:

342

I know, and the meaning was definitely not lost on me… I was just bustin’ ya balls. :wink:

You’re not James Joyce.

344

Footpath arseholes, eh?

345

No, it is not me, it is you. Open your eyes and look!

You’re driving a Smart car. I’m pretty sure it could fit in the back of my cargo van. But still, you couldn’t manage to get the thing into ONE parking spot. You had to use two. You’re an idiot.

That is worth repeating. :smile:

Get out of the left lane. You are not the speed police or a pace car. OUT. NOW. THIS IS WHY NO ONE LIKES YOU.

It’s pouring rain, and visibility is crap. I know you drive a fancy new Lincoln Navigator, but that doesn’t make you too good for headlights and blinkers on the highway.

Pulling over to do a 3-point U-turn on a back road would be more effective if a) you did not have someone (ME) coming up behind you, b) you turned into one of the MANY driveways lining this road, and c) you pulled over flush with the side of the road (so I could go by first) and then tried to pull forward and turn into the other lane, instead of backing into it from the opposite one.

Benefit of the doubt if you’re a student driver, but your co-driver should have known better.

WHAT IS IT WITH BIG BLACK SUVs NOT USING BLINKERS TODAY?? I didn’t get the memo!!

I blame Trump.

That’s pretty standard for people driving dark coloured vehicles. I wonder if’s a similar thing to that very young child trick of hiding by putting their hands over their eyes (I can’t see you so you can’t see me). In this case it’s “I can see you, so why can’t you see me?”
You can see me because I’ve got my lights on you pillock.

Yeah, there’s probably a lot of things we can blame Trump for, but that one might be a bit of a stretch :laughing:

Oooh, long time since I’ve heard the ‘pillock’ word…
