On the way into work today and all was going fine coming up to the last roundabout of the trip in, and almost got side swiped by a car changing lanes without indicating. Had to hit the brakes hard and pull into the hard shoulder. How do you miss a car this size in good light.
They just drove on an almost cut up a another car. What an ASS. >:(
could have been worse , my heart is still beating fast now but at the time it was like it was happening in slow mo.

The number of tossers on the road does appear to be on the increase :(

My wife always falls sleeps when im driving somewhere, she says I dont speak to her and my excuse is im concentrating so much on everyone else's driving ::)

My son does that a lot but with him i think its becuse he has to look at the back of my big bold head. Not a nice site. ;D

Rejoice! You don't know how lucky you are! My (non-driver) wife concentrates entirely on my driving. If the needle passes 70, it is remarked upon. If another driver makes a mistake, I'm at fault. If I ever use the kick-down, she turns white and grabs the edges of the seat.
She can't read a map, but thinks she can, and she argues with the sat-nav. The children won't go in the car with us any more. She behaves normally when anyone else drives.
We don't go on many trips nowadays. :(
OK, I'm not the world's greatest driver, but, honestly, I ain't that bad. :(

That's normal. I get into trouble for obeying the sat nav because I should, of course, be obeying Mrs. KW. Then commands from the sat nav are relayed to me via mrs. KW which normally means I've already passed the turning by the time I get the instruction to turn, and that's my fault for driving too fast, of course.
Then I get "why is it taking us this way?" The whole point of having sat nav is that, If I can't be @rsed to plan a route, I don't have to care why it's taking us up whatever road. >:(

LUXURY!!!!
When I were a lad my wife used to crack the whip while I pushed the car!
"Mind the pothole" she would say....
But if I were really lucky I were allowed to lick 'tarmac wi' tongue!
;D

What luxury - a "t'pothole" of your own - we had to share with a family of displaced koala bears and a baby hippopotamus.
Er - sorry about the pronunciation - I'm a soft southerner who can't manage the "t'"
