CHIPPINGS Sod Drivers!
BAH! Why is it Chipping season? The Council see fit to crack windscreens and chip paintwork! Should be a law against it. Especially NOT A Roads.To be fair its actually Stupid motorists. They ignore the 20 mph signs and spray you with stones. Company car divers? or just idiots? I was overtaken by White Van-man and another idiot for observing the limit. The road has only been done that day (they've done the road out side our house. Not only do they NOT observe 20 they are now exceeding the 30 limit. Of course no Police to catch anyone.
Now How long are these signs supposed to stay up?
These have been up over a week now. The "sweeper" has been and cleared the chippings so the road is 90% normal now - vehicles are travelling as fast as they like! SO this means that they IGNORE the 20mph signs - why bother they think?
This is WRONG - I obey and get overtaken as an obstacle!! rightly so but just doing my duty as a law abiding motorist. I blame the Highways people they should take the signs down when time has passed then drivers know that when the signs are there you MUST OBEY!
Where is JC when you want him?
Now I've not much time for JC - he enjoys upsetting people too much and being a Yorkshire man (like me) he gives us a poor reputation. WE aren't all loud mouthed bigots - any way to the point.
Today I am ANGRY - why you ask?
Surface Dressing! It is the season of chipped paint and cracked windscreens.
What annoys me is the stupid other drivers with no brains. The signs say 20 mph!! Why do you think ? because the loose chippings fly everywhere and crack windscreens and chip paint. So the numpties ignore them and because you are good and go slow they fly by spraying you in stones.
So, no explanation except they are brainless and/or driving a company car and don't care.
They should be (to quote Jeremy) SHOT!
Some blame lies on the Highways - we all hate pot holes and they are trying - since the Surface Dressing does help to maintain roads, but they should not do it on "A" roads. They don't do it on Motorways do they and I've seen some horrendous potholes on Motorways.
Also they don't take the signs away weeks after its done, so the can't blame the dim-wits for speeding. If the blatantly it was done weeks ago what's the point. Anyway where are the police to catch these anti-social careless drivers. I don't think we have Highway Patrols any more anyway.
Rant over - now I feel better.
