That is, if it's not a foreign driver who has momentarily forgot, they are on the wrong side.
Where I live the person likely to be doing that is young and of an ethnic minority
It has happened to me or I have observed stupid driving so many times its ridiculous and it is always the same ethnic minority that make up the vast majority of these.
Picture this, two lanes approaching a set if traffic lights, where the left lane turns left and right turns right, traffic coming towards me is in a single lane and there is 200m of a queue. A car at the back of the queue then pulled out then pulled out into my lane and drove towards me, just where she was going is anyones guess, I had to move to me left to avoid her as she did not slow down, in my rear mirror I then saw her force her way back into her lane after she gained all of 150m.
Another set of traffic lights, two lanes left lane goes left or straight ahead, right lane has to turn right. As lights change guy in right lane turns left.
Another set of traffic lights, two lanes guy in Beamer next to me wants to race, I let him, he sets off by flooring it and goes over a blind bridge at about 60mph, it is a 30 mph zone.
Taxi driver, crawling along at 20 mph in a 40 mph zone texting.
Driver turning into my cul de sac fails to stay on their side of the road and I have to take avoiding action.
Driver on road in a residential 20mph zone and fails to stay on their side of road on a bend and I have to drive onto the pavement to avoid being in an accident.
Driver fails to turn enough as they turn into my cul de sac and crashes into lamppost
The list goes on.
Common factor all an ethnic minority.
I am not being racist its just an observation of all the stupid driver actions that I see where I live and that 90% of those actions are by members of the ethnic minority. The worst being young males in their Beamers and Mercs.
When I did a spell being a Driving Instructor, the more seasoned ones used to say (1) teach one ethnic minority to drive and you have taught the whole family or (2) one license per household. I have sanitised what they actually used to say.
So its not the old that are the problem where I live it is a full age range.
I’d be deleting this if I’d posted it........
