Coming through Woore today at school kicking out time. Tight road, kids everywhere, so I always take it steady. Indicating to turn left onto the A525, I do the habitual mirror check as we all do (don’t we) and ■■■■ me but there is granny and her 6 ish yr old granddaughter strolling into the road on my blindside without a care in the world. Emergency stop, the merc behind me nearly piles into the trailer and gran just stands in the road huffing and puffing as if the world revolves around her.
Bit of a non story I know but I thought I’d share it to remind us all (London drivers already know) but there really are some muppets out there. Be careful.

Good thing you checked your mirror. As we all know, many don’t, evidenced by the amount of cyclists, motorcyclists and houses crushed in the making.
I almost crunched a taxi on my second shift, put himself right in my blindside on a hard left turn. Admittedly I should have taken both lanes but I thought it was obvious how much room I was going to take, luckily I checked my mirrors!
I now always think for the idiots in the cars as apparently they won’t do it for themselves

I would love to crush a taxi…Uber would be my preference…they just don’t give a ■■■■ and think they have right of way.
The level of human stupidity is limitless.
I come to expect situations like this on a daily basis.
Keep your wits about you & move on to the next time it happens
