Well after the tragic event on the A34 where a trucker was using his mobile phone, I’m sure someone somewhere is considering whether we need an advertising campaign along the lines of the drink driving adverts to combat/educate the idiots that think it’s OK to be distracted by your phone and drive. Coupled to this, we currently have quite a few threads on here regarding driving standards and practices, and while the government spends millions/billions on Smart motorways and other road improvements, I have to wonder if it would be cheaper and more productive to instead try and educate road users to use the roads in a more harmonious way. For example, if people actually used lanes as they are intended, perhaps we wouldn’t all these new extra lanes and no hard shoulders.
So I’ll start off:
- Don’t be a ■■■■ and be distracted by things like your phone, concentrate on controlling the metal missile you’re driving! - Be courteous to cyclists, they are venerable, fluffy and ever so green! - As a cyclist you are venerable, so don’t be a deluded armour plated arse! - Indicators are not optional extras, they are to aid your progress and inform other road users of your intentions you ■■■■! - Slip road merging, get up to speed, look for your entry, and leave space in front to enter in a zip formation you bellend! - Braking distances, the truck you’ve just cut in front of can’t stop as fast as you, do you have a death wish dopey? - Debbie does Dipper!

I remember Reginald Molehusband and also that bloody cat called Charlie!
I remember “Charlie says.” We had a Charlie at school whos’ family all shared the same brain cell and he spoke a bit like that cat. Cue twisted arm motions, and a contorted face saying “Charlie sezz.” Evil ■■■■■■■■ we were.
Anyway how about a Polski Information film telling the flip flops not to defecate under or near trailers?
When exiting a side road in hurry because you just have to get infront of that awful slow lorry, make sure there is enough room for the manouvre. Dont just zoom out with 4 feet to spare, forcing the driver to jump on the brakes to avoid ramming 44 tonnes of Scania up your arse.
Remember mirror, signal, manouvre. Not Manouvre, finger, accelerator
Upon seeing a speed camera, please check the speed limit. Do not just slow down to 29.5mph.
It is perfectly legal to pass the police on a motorway if they are driving at 10mph under the posted limit. Chances are they are doing it on purpose and sitting laughing at the traffic jam they are causing
No.1 Learn the proper way instead of making it up.
No. 2 Speed limits are there for a good reason.
No. 3 Concentrate on driving (nothing else)
No. 4 Stop driving like a ■■■■ especially if you are a professional driver (cause you get us all a bad name)
No. 5 Evil learn to use the word vulnerable cause it is more appropriate.lol.
For elderly drivers (please read in a pathe news style);
The speed limit is what is, not -20mph “just to be safe.”
Blue badges do not give you a licence to park badly.
You do not have right of way leaving a garden centre.
A hat on the parcel shelf is not an excuse to drive the wrong way down a dual carriageway.
you can have all the public information adverts about mobile phone use that you want, but until the police are able to actually enforce it then it’ll make next to no difference.

I’ve often wondered about that strawbota thing on the rear shelf. Got to thinking it was some kind of fashion statement by the owner…

Ha maybe No 1 in my list applies to you.
30 is the maximum and not a target.
They are quite within their rights to do 20 in a 30.
Sure it’s frustrating but remember you will be old one day and you may well do the same.
Chill out man.

Read it again I said “-20mph” as if the limit is 50 they drive at 30, limit is 30 they drive at 10. Simple maths. For simple people obviously.
Asian women drivers.
You actually need a driving licence, obtained by passing a test. You cannot drive your Nissan Almeira unaccompanied just because your husband says so. The wearing of a letterbox whilst driving is also not recommended.

Headlights ON must be made mandatory in this country. A lot of people drive in rainy/cloudy day with no headlights on, while their car color is the same as the asphalt of the vegetation.
