Some people should never be allowed outside their own homes for risk of injury to themselves and others. I don't know how many times people have  walked out into the road in front of us to get in their cars and not give a blind bit of notice to on coming traffic.

Earlier on today Roger and I were on our way home from shopping, we take the motorway home as it's quicker, the same route we always take. We're quite familiar with the roads and knew we were coming up to a blind turn in the motorway so we slow down a bit, but we didn't expect to see what we did as we hit the bend!

As we turned into the bend, not more than 20 feet in front of us was a car - stopped in the road, didn't even to pull aside, alongside the car was about 4 people watching the driver change the driver-side tyre, they were 'big' people, they filled up that side of the carriageway, ((((((((Flarging Swerve)))))))) we swung the car into the fast lane narrowly missing these people, smacked on the hazard lights as we knew there was a car behind us, that car did the same - swerved and screeched all over the road and do you know what, those people in the road didn't even turn round to see what was going on around them! 2 of the bigger girls were busy talking on they're (((phones))) in the middle of the carriage way! can you believe that!

 When we got to the set of lights up the road, it was then we took our next breath, we were all eyeballs and just looked at each other wondering how long those people will live - 'if' they make it off the road? And that's a big 'IF'.

Why on earth didn't one of those people just walk around the corner to warn on coming traffic? Where's the logic in what they were doing? OMG some people are so senseless! Who would have got the blame if one of those or one of us drivers were killed because they had no thought or consideration for other road users. This really pisses me off.

Roger and I feel the same way about one thing, next time something like this happens again, he's going to get out and give them a slap for their own good!

Comments:

People like this need a good slap for their own good! Can't quite understand how they lived this long. They are just asking for some catastrophe. And, they'll probably get it.

I love your last sentence!!!!!!!!! You can't just drive anymore; you have to drive defensively. There are so many kooks on the road these days. Living in a rural area, I come upon men(I said men) in the middle of the road talking or hunters stopped in the middle of the road looking out across the fields. Do you think that these men would move? Not until they are finished with their conversation or content that there is nothing to hunt out in that field!!!!!!!!!!!1111

No do not let Roger do that.He will be sued.
Cannot touch them no matter how much you want to.
Look before you leap.

I gotcha now - thats the part where I always shout "Hallo Lynne" when we are going towards Swansea (or Cardiff - not too sure where it takes us, actually) !!! You certainly do meet some stupid people on the roads, they are usually the ones who have the accidents and everybody feels sorry for them, when they hear about it!!!
I will say 'nos da', my darlin' coz I'm off to bed now, Chris went up about a half hour ago. See you in the mornin' girl, luv ya

Heading home from tesco - the motorway - way, toward the ferry bridge, you know where you can see the river...the boats by the tip! The big bend before the junction which turns off for the ferry and Swansea.
