Yes definitely, I have to do it twice a week. Unfortunately due to the enormous amount of roadworks going on I have to go down a road with a high school on it. The amount of drivers that just stop anywhere and everywhere to let kids jump out. Most of the time with no indication.
Today a car just stopped and then did a u turn in front of me!

I have often said I am the laziest person in the world but even I used to walk the kids to school. I cannot believe the time some of my neighbours leave to get a good parking space at the school, they literally could walk it in less time.

Lots of factors, amount of cars on the road doubled or more, bus lane corridors, everybody in a rush. Respect for others.
How often does the pretty girl get let out ! And the rest no

It’s been terrible for years.

The amount of vehicles with fog lights on when clearly the visibility was way beyond 100 meters today is beyond belief

I remembered watching this one when I was a kid. Maybe things haven't changed that much.

I guess it's partly down to us all wearing some rose-tinted specs, then!

Although, fewer cars on the road definitely helped in the past.

Just back from Manchester picking up ds, i must say driving down there was more pleasant than the west of scotland, up here charging through traffic lughts seems to be the norm, being up my backside is ok. Hogging middle lane, no indication, no concept what a round about is for . Or even worse older people going 25 miles just to be on the safe side!

Edit I did drive a Commer van once if that helps.

Unless you are a doctor you really should avoid shoving your colon. Even then I'd advise caution and a warm hand

If someone uses indicators in Harlow it’s usually a con to fool you into where they’re really going.

Also where DD goes dancing, coming out of the car park is a mini roundabout onto a main road. I have to treat this as a T junction as no one on the main road acknowledges it’s a roundabout
