I’ll offer a driving related one…
Where I live it can be difficult to find parking spaces. I often have a short walk from my car to my house…it doesn’t bother me particularly. Although, because I’m a daft twat I regularly forget where I’ve parked.
Anyway, they’ve nearly finished building a 75 flat block of flats across the way…with no additional parking. There are also plans to build a Care home, also with no additional parking, just by me.
I reckon it’s going to be ‘fun’.

Normalise car parks in residential areas.

Is that a thing? It makes sense.
I was speaking to someone that approves such building work in the neighbouring local authority and they said, that without additional parking, there’s no way they’d have approved it where they are. They said they don’t know how they got away with it…in what is already a heavily populated area.
When finished I may be a more frequent poster on this thread!

Knowing planning law they probably promised to off set it with double the parking in Milton Keynes or something.

Seems to me it's just the continued offensive in the war on the (4 wheeled) motor vehicle. Not just content with bringing into place new means of powering them, in the meantime there appears to be a policy of ignoring them.
Unless of course there's a money grab option in town centres or hospital grounds.

Poole.

Go to KFC as 21:15, shut.

Go to Subway at 21:20, we can't surve subs, only crisps and cookies etc.

Weird place.

Tradesmen who don't turn up for an arranged appointment and don't even bother to txt/phone with the feeble excuse as to why they didn't.
Gary the boiler engineer, you are a c**t.

I have no idea why I haven’t added this myself.
It’s across the trades too. There’s a variety of work I’ve needed doing to my house over the last year or so, and I’ve lost count of the amount of times this has happened.

A month and a half and counting to get a structural engineer to visit me...

Good job it's not for something *actually* important, such as the house itself!

Even someone I know socially, from playing football every week just didn’t turn up! No message or anything.
He fucking turns up for football and can tell people he’s not able to make that without difficulty!

Phone/ear-bud zombies who aimlessly wander into cycle lanes........stupid c**t this morning nearly put me & him in hospital....literally missed him by millimetres

Had a job at Severn Trent yesterday along Much Park St, Cov uni student staring at her phone walks in front of a taxi and sure enough it hit her. Looked like she only hurt her ankle. But unfortunately while she’s switched off and walking in the road, she had it coming.

Taxi driver was in a bit of a panic, as you would be, but there were enough witnesses who saw her step right in front of him with very little time to react. They need to start accepting students, particularly foreign ones, subject to passing a basic road safety test. It’s fucking rife for it around both unis. Clever at what they’re studying. Thick, useless twats for everything else.

It belongs here and in the politics thread but it's politicians of all sides giving platitudes about the NHS birthday

The general lack of respect for cycle lanes, pricks parking in them, taxis pulling up and waiting in them

And the other side of that arguement is the complete lack of respect of some cyclists in observing the Highway Code.

Failing to stop at traffic lights, cycling in the wrong direction down one way streets, mounting pavements, the list is endless.

Notice I said SOME cyclists, not all.

ALL cyclists imo should have to wear high viz clothing, front and rear lights should be lit whilst cycling day or night and a bell mandatory, no exceptions.

Do you have a bell on your bike or if not did you shout out in anticipation that the said person was going to walk out in front of you?

Or you could just drive normally so you’re not a danger.

Ive have most residential street designated cycle streets personally and take them off higher speed roads with segregated cycle ways. Then cars get to go fast without worries and pedestrians and cyclists get a chilled local area to wander about.

I don't have a bell on that particular bike, but I do on several others. The prick wouldn't have heard a bell anyhow....he was totally oblivious to his surroundings.

I didn't anticipate that the moron should suddenly step over the kerb into the bike lane, directly in front of me, without looking.

He literally stepped directly in to oncoming traffic.

I barely even have time to brake....just swerved whilst shouting "CUUUNNTTT"

In days gone by, I would've slammed on & spun round to explain in simple terms what a stupid c**t he was, but its so common these days it would be exhausting. Besides.....I'm trying to be more zen.

As for your other points in this thread regarding cyclists being highly visible, the last time I got knocked of my bike by a motorist, It was broad daylight, I was wearing a sky blue top and had flashing lights on front & back......and I still left a large hip-shaped dent in her Citroen....
So I'd suggest its better if drivers just look where the fuck they're going!

Not sure how to respond to this other than there's too many fuckwits with shit for brains in this world with drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians all up there at the top of the pile.

There is no other side to that argument, car drivers ignore the highway code more than anybody else

I still can’t fathom to this day how cyclists are allowed on the road without a helmet.
