Red Lights And Disabled Parking Spots.

    I am amazed to see so many drivers taking chances and driving through red lights.

    Also, why do drivers who travel at 70 - 80 kph insist on driving in the fast lane on the motorway?

    And, worse still, the amount of able bodied people who have no problems using a disabled car space.

    There is nothing wrong with using the overtaking lane at 70 - 80 kph. If a care in the left lane is driving slower than them then they have just as much right to overtake as anybody else. ANYBODY driving in the overtaking lane when they are not overtaking is a dick.

    A lot of these people do drive in the overtaking lane. They think it is their God given right. I witness it everyday.

    I pulled up outside a shop one day with my disabled friend (in his badgeholder car) only to find a dopey sunglasses atop head ignorant middle aged bint had parked her monstrous SUV horizontally across the THREE available wheelchair spaces as she waited for her overweight devil spawn child who was inside the shop filling his fat little arms with sweets and sh1te. A whole minute of my hand on the horn and various impolite gesticulations and roaring out the window from my disabled friend failed to move her so we decided to take matters into our own hands, pulling the car up paralell to hers, leaving only about an inch between the 2 cars. It was a bit of a nuisance having to climb over the passenger seat to get out of the car but was well worth it when we came out of the shop half an hour later to see her still there, seething, spewing all sorts of venom at a parking attendant who seemed to be taking great satisfaction in telling her that it was her own fault and that she should have parked in one of the many other vacant parking spaces.

    Oh and old people who take up wheelchair spaces saying 'sure I'm old, I'm entitled to the wheelchair space' FCUCK OFF THE LOT OF YE!! :mad:

    Class. That is the only way to treat those gimps. Now that you mentioned it, people in SUV`s think they can do what they like and f£$k everybody else.

    It's just like people who go the gym and insist on parking right next to the entrance.

    I once rained down with furious vengeance on a selfish bastard in red Porsche parked in a disabled spot. He looked at me, nodded said "Yes, sorry, yes you are right, yes, yes..."

    Then hung his disabled badge on the rear view....





    He congratulated and thanked me, then shook my hand.

    Assumption. Mother of all f.uck ups

    Misleading thread title. Where's the hookers OP?

    I thought that this thread was going to about brothels installing wheel-chair access to cater for everyone.

    Misleading OP

    I tried to park in Home Store and More car park the other day but there were no spaces left.

    When they're gone they're definitely gone.

    If you're travelling at 70-80 kph on a motorway im sure you see a lot of "dicks" using the overtaking lane.

    Also you're being a bigger danger to all road users overtaking at such a slow speed.

    If they are using it for overtaking then they are not being dicks.

    How is overtaking at 70 - 80 kph on a motorway dangerous? Granted it's unlikely that someone doing 70 - 80 kph is overtaking anyone on a motorway, but if someone was going slower than them why would it be dangerous for them to overtake? It's not like they are overtaking slowly on a road they are likley to meet on coming traffic, there are no hazards :confused:
