DervMan (thedervman (AT) gmail (DOT) com) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying : I watched a video of a lady rolling her car on a petrol forecourt. She had thirty years of no claims bonus I'm sure. 82, and never once had an accident, apparently. |
then.

Simple really. I found it inappropriate and offensive.

Instead you're happy to talk to me like I'm a kid? Nice.

think they know it all and it's their God or Government given right to drive
however they see fit. The rest of us old fuddy duddies probably can't drive
for jack in their opinion and ought not to be on the road, certainly not in
their way...
The kids should make an allowance for us oldies, if that means using their
headlights and horn so that we are aware of them, great. If that means
overtaking at any opportunity, well, okay providing they're past at least
they won't run into the back of us...
Against this, we see these kids as being irresponsible, immature and
incapable of observing the most basic of potentially dangerous situations.
We should make an allowance for them. This usually means avoiding conflict
of any kind or exploiting superior observation and making some tracks, if
you see what I mean.
