The run to work

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

This morning at about 6.30 am i was going along the m5 towards Stroud and over to my right was about 6 hot air balloons all flying along ,it looked fantastic set against the morning sunshine , being -up and about early in the morning we are privileged to see some great sights ,i ended-up driving right under one of the balloons as they where right over where i was working .
Then in the evening i had the reverse as the traffic built-up on the m4 and then i see a car on it's roof smashed to bit's, some poor soul had coped it :yikes: what do you guys see on your travels ? , it would be good if we could all identify each other LOL some random given you the thumbs -up in the traffic :lol:.

 

[Ian]

Don't see much interesting on my travels, loads of bad driving mainly! I'm easy to spot Dave, if you pass me

 

[Time's Ran Out]

I'am the grumpy one picking my nose!

At the present time I'am amazed at the line of aircraft stacked up waiting and landing at Gatwick airport - they come in so low over the M23 you can see the pilot praying!

 

[DHTiling]

LOL.. thought DPF meant he had been on a morning jog :lol:

 

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

OMG Brian thats a Lemon on wheels :yikes: No missing you then :sofahide:.
John yes that a great run by Gatwick and heathrow especially if you are on the m25 they fly very-low over the motorway ,it always amazes me why there are not more accidents there :yikes: like a good pick myself :hurray:

What about the stain on the seat, before or during the airbag going off :lol:

 

[radim]

that mark on a seat is water dripping via broken windscreen ..... I think...
van was written off

 

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

Bl@£y hell mate thats the same van as i drive ,but mine is unsigned ,when,how, did this happen RAD ??......

 

[Dougs Third Go]

I just normally see fields with sheep and cows in..

 

[Mr T]

Thats a lovely van bri but why no advertising?... How did you manage to hit that van so hard it looks like the lorry. Is far away lol

 

[Bubblecraft]

These days, all I'm seeing is the fuzz sitting behind every corner possible with their speed gun out to catch the poor little single mother that's struggling to get by rather than catching ACTUAL criminals!

Sorry Gus but maybe when you have had a friend mowed down by a speeding motorist you will start calling them Actual criminals !

that was year ago. I was travellin to work on motorway and lorry from opossite direction crossed central reservation and overturned (probably sleep) on straight bit of road at the same time as I was comming on and hit me with corner of the trailer to drivers side and sent me in to ditch. But van was total wreck.and some tools damaged.
wish I had dash cam installed.

 

[radim]

maybe they shouldnt be speeding or texting while they drive

 

[John Benton]

A mate of mine has been caught 3 times in 2 months whilst on phone, twice in the same place :mad2:

He's just got his insurance renewal through, gone up from £700 to £1500, 9 points on licence and £180 in fines :mad2:

My step-daughter in a forensic collision investigator and she goes to too many deaths caused by idiots on phones, and idiots speeding/not being able to drive at the correct speed for the road conditions!!!

She has to go and knock on the families front door and give them the news!!!

 

[peteablard]

I'm working in London next Sunday, bank holiday weekend so I imagine I'll see lots of traffic jams! You don't need to make excuses Radim, think most of us would have peed ourselves if that happened:lol:

 

[Bubblecraft]

Don't get me wrong, people should obey the laws of the road as these things do cause accidents but there is a ridiculous amount of Traffic Police about these days.
I'm sorry, but I have lost respect for the Police. I used to think highly of them until there was an incident that I was involved in where they lied on their statement which made me look like a fool when I went to claim personal injuries.

 

[DHTiling]

If you are driving within the law , does it matter how many police are on the road ?

Cannot see a problem here. Only dodgy or drink drivers want less traffic police.

 

[Bubblecraft]

I find the cops presence can cause accidents as people slam breaks on when they see them without checking in their mirrors.

I've nothing to hide, stay within the law & have a clean licence.

But if they were driving safely then they wouldnt feel the need to slap on their brakes.

Exactly. Brake hard if you feel guilty
