I used to frequently visit Bradford and can attest that the driving standards there are appalling.
However, someone in Guildford last night topped it all.
Coming up my road, there are parking bays on the left which narrows the road to single traffic. And because it’s a residential road, with a school on, I drive carefully up it, giving way to oncoming cars. Rather than as this gesticulating moron behind seemed to want me to do, and gun it up the narrow bits to the next bit of two way and then swerve in front of the oncoming traffic.
So after a couple of incidents of this and ever increasing flashing of her lights – we are now proceeding at a stately pace towards the 4 way traffic light crossroads at the end, at which point our green light turns amber while I’m still some way away, at which point she decides that if I don’t jump the lights then she’s still going to.
Is it ever acceptable to jump the red lights on the wrong side of the road whilst overtaking the car in front that has stopped at them?
I have your number, as do the police.
