minor things that make you fume

Has anyone else noticed an increase of people driving in the middle of the road? Cutting a corner on a single lane country road on a blind bend is a special kind of stupid, but it happens almost daily.

Damn yes.

I blame the induced sense of pseudo safety by the obsession with enormous 4x4s or crossovers for too casual driving styles.

Some of the farm equipment that drives about round here doesn't even fit on one side of the road, they kinda have to drive in the middle. Not really sure how it's classed as road legal tbh.

I've finally bought myself a dash cam becasue I can't be arsed any more.

Works van drivers are one of the worst. Most builders are bell ends anyway and they're driving a vehicle they don't own.

I'll never not be slightly scared when I see a tractor coming towards me. Those wheels are unsettling.

At least their vehicles serve a purpose. Denise-Mareigh with her Range Rover Velar can do one, though.

Yeah there are some big farms and nurseries down round here and they don't seem to have what you would call a normal sized tractor, they are all these big things with 6ft high wheels on them, god help if you get stuck on the same road as a combine or a crop sprayer, them things are massive.

When I was much younger I had been staying with my grandparents in Liverpool and we were driving back up to Scotland (where I lived, was born in pool but grew up in Scotland) and my grandad always used to go this way that was slightly quicker but off the beaten track a bit. We came round this blind corner in his little Rover Metro and all of a sudden this huge big Ford tractor is in the middle of the road heading straight for us and flattens the car and sent us spinning off the road and then proceeded to carry on driving down the road. The 3 of us walked away from it with minor cuts and bruises and as you can imagine Metro vs Tractor, there was only one winner there. It was over 30 years ago and I can remember it like it was yesterday.
