Look! No Hands!!!!

Sometime ago I got on about inconsiderate motorists and their inconsiderate and dangerous antics, BUT the best is yet to come, while waiting for the bus today I watched a waggon coming around the corner with a somewhat drift across the road and I saw the driver had BOTH HANDS up in the air putting on a pullover which was covering his face, the mind boggles, Now beat that, I dare you.

If you think thats crazy you should spend an afternoon in Malaga:)
Its sometimes worth just parking up next to a busy junction just to watch the antics!!!

I'm getting seriously worried about our police these days having seen one recently make an illegal right turn and take out a keep left sign whilst looking left.

I wittnesed more crazy driving yesterday when a police car with blues overtook a line of traffic through hatchings coverd in wet leaves, only to narrowly miss the leading vehicle when he nearly lost it whilst braking to avoid a rappidly aproaching keep left sign

Ok so it was an emergency so did he need another one

Have you ever watched one of those American traffic cop shows where they show video shot from police cars and helicopters of their chases?
The cop narrating drones on and on about the insanity and danger of the driving of the 'bad guy' (which usually is a bit on the mad side of crazy ... but I guess they feel some compulsion to try to get away at all costs).
However, almost always the most outrageous and dangerous manoeuvres are performed by "the brave servants of the law" - with seemingly no regard for their own safety, the safety of those they are pursuing or the innocent motorists and bystanders that happen to be about.

I even saw one recently where a guy being chased stopped in a fuel station ... the solution of "the brave servants of the law" was to punt his car into the fuel pump ... which started a huge petrol fire ... which, surprisingly, seemed to worry the mother and children who were on the forecourt at the time!
But who am I to judge ... clearly there could have been no better way!

Its not illegal for the police to make an illegal right turn nor to park on double yellows whilst doing some shopping or (in Scotland) to allow a dog in their care to starve to death over 10 days. In practise as opposed to theory, the rules apply to us, not them.

I saw one where The fine upstanding ossifer of the law turned the baddies' Pickup in front (that silly manouvere they do) sending it spinning into some innocent guy's car. One big Dodge Ram at about 80mph being punted into a bystanders car.. Hmm.. that's protecting and serving...NOT!!

I wouldve been absolutely fuming. Lawsuits and shotguns at dawn kinda thing.

when I worked in London, i used to watch the police antics!! from the roof of one of the sites I worked on, (next to the Sun,at wapping when it was kicking off)
often blues and two`s to the front of a large que at traffiic lights, then off and normal when at the front.
also some very silly driving down the wrong side of the road, only to get out in no hurry when they stop.
seen this also when they go to traffic incidents, loads of units there, and they still drive like loons.
has to this day made me take a less urgent view to getting out of the way of police car, to an Ambulance or fire engine.
