Isn't that what we were ALL taught!!!!

I drove back from the hospital earlier & we were nearly home when an ambulance pulled out of a side street behind me, at the time i was being followed by another car. I saw the blue lights, so i indicated & very slowly pulled to the left for the ambulance. The muppet behind overtook me & then realized their mistake & pulled over. I gave them some lights & horn in my disgust at their lack of observation
Why don't folk look instead of driving with their eyes closed, this isn't the first time it's happed to me

Because all road users have been led to believe for the last 15 years is if they stick to 30, everything will be a bed of roses.

There is another thread with a video of a road junction in downtown India somewhere.
Ignoring the fact that 90% plus of the vehicles featured are death traps, there are no road signs, no traffic lights, no f**k all.....yet nobody gets hurt (and I'll bet that's because they think for themselves rather than listening to some idealist bulls**t).

The only single entity to blame for the noticeable deterioration of driving standards over the last 25 years is "nanny".

All vehicle classes need sub-divisions really, not all Beemers & 4x4's are driven by rich twats who think they own the place, or have a husband that owns the place.

Fortunately, it is quite easy to distinguish the two 

interesting , I also see more woman driving expensive 4x4 SUVs than man..and can easily say they are rich as those vehicles cost serious money, more than a home..

Had an ambulance following me on blues a couple of days back. Made progress that wouldn't hold him up until I passed a laybay where I pulled over and let him pass. Followed for a couple of miles and most of the drivers he came up behind simply stopped in the middle of the road.

If I were an ambulance driver I'd probably be hoping other drivers wouldn't spot me - because their reactions when they do seem to be totally irrational and dangerously unpredictable.

At least they don't speed, though because speed kills.

I rarely pull over and stop for an emergency vehicle, just slow down and move over, unless obviously I have to. So why does everybody else seem to just stop or mount pavements etc to get out of the way.

The other day a car actually drove onto the centre of an island to get out of the way, his exit road (straight ahead) was clear, and it was a dual carraigeway. Nutters
