f***tard alert (Scaleycam vid)



Having been the creator of 3 'Sevenoaks Driving' vids, I happened there again yesterday, got my sandwiches and marvelled on the total lack of crazy driving which was nice for a change. All I had to do now was hit the high street, turn left and head on out... Hmmmm....

You should try the Lizard Peninsula in the tourist season, around six near death experiences per mile ridden.

It's the same here in North Devon, papasmurf. The grockles, and many locals, think traffic lights and roundabouts are purely optional. A week or so back I was almost wiped out by a driving school car that stopped at a red light then decided to go past it. Seems they actually teach the kids the art of bad driving in Barnstaple.

Can't see anything out of the ordinary here. Everyday occurance 😡

Hey Pete... You not live in Sevenoaks perchance?

[PeteF]

No but f***tards are everywhere😨

I had pretty much the same thought; nothing out of the ordinary for Bucks either. Maybe living in France has brought it into contrast? Certainly in my experience the overall driving skill is better there, particularly with regard to how French drivers are more bike aware.

Hi Scaley,
Where did you get those great long mirror stems, or are they standard on your bike?

Wotcha.

Yep - but that's how they are taught to drive these days.

A helmet cam is as important as boots and gloves nowdays. I'm surprised insurance companys don't insist they are used. Fitting cameras to all new vehicles as they were assembled would cost pennies, why they not fitted in even the cheapest runabout or bike is beyond me.
