27.1.12 Taxis, Roundabouts & Caravans

Caravans have long been a source of annoyance for numerous motorists, usually those following one.  We have all been in a slow-moving convoy before, at the head of which has been a vehicle towing a caravan.  The experience is frustrating, and the frustration is rather more than 'topped up' by the ineptitude of twats following directly behind the tin can, who seem incapable and/or uninterested in passing the thing.  Thus, numerous motorists are left to stew and experience raised blood pressure.

Caravan owners, though, are not the worst nuisances on the road by a long shot.  They do have a reason for driving a bit more slowly.  No, far worse than them are the private hire cabs that seem to insist on crawling along.  These taxis are always diesel powered, and the drivers are adamant that they will drive more carefully and slowly than a snail performing heart surgery.  The prize for these inconsiderate cunts is an extra mile-per-gallon, which is a fucking joke really, considering they charge so much!  Taxis are often Skodas, but could be Vectras.  They gingerly negotiate roundabouts, accelerate like the slow-motion sequence from the Six Million Dollar Man, and remain cuntin' oblivious to everyone else on the road.  Finally, they have the cheek to believe they are good drivers.  There is little worse than driving behind a taxi whose actual 0-62mph acceleration is 35.7 seconds, and whose top speed is too cuntin' slow!  Fuck off!

So, taxis get 64.5 mpg when driven by a cunt who doesn't care about anyone else.  This is rather in contrast to the driver of a BMW who yesterday chose to approach a roundabout in the left-hand lane, to turn right.  So, the owner of PE55 UWV managed to go the whole way round the roundabout, exiting on the third exit alongside (on the inside of) me.  Then, it was full steam ahead, but because he wanted to turn right at the next roundabout in 300yds, he decided to force his way into the right-hand lane.  Basically, an inconsiderate cunt.  He cut someone up two cars in front of me, and fucked off right.

On the subject of roundabouts, there is now a drive (forgive the pun) to convert roundabouts to junctions with a circular layout but with traffic lights.  Yes, the free-flowing roundabout now has to have lights to inconvenience us all, and ensure that we are often waiting for no cunt at all!  Roundabouts should, where large enough, have lanes which spiral outwards.  Where this is the case, traffic naturally moves outwards as it makes progress around the thing, and the world is in order (assuming there are no BMW drivers).  However, there are many roundabouts where the planners have decided not to adopt this approach.  This allows drivers to think that it is okay to stay in the left hand lane, and drive all the way round the roundabout in the outside lane.  They then get the fucking hump when you try to move outwards from the middle and line up your own exit.  Traffic lights simply aid these twats, stopping natural movements outwards, and common sense merging.

I have not yet mounted a sub-machine gun on my front grill, but am considering such a move, so I can blast cunts out of the way.
