Recently there has been fatality, just around the corner from where I live. A young scooter rider was killed when a car pulled out in front of him when he was riding down the main road. This has almost happened to me on a few occasions. When will some people realise that they are driving what amounts to a lethal weapon.

You see this type of driver more and more on the roads these days, driving down the road in their company car (which most users don’t care less about because they are not paying for it) sitting there as though they are sat at home in their comfy armchairs watching TV.

After driving on the continent you realize what a group of arrogant pricks the average British motorists are. If you ask the majority of them what they think of their driving skills I’m sure most would say that they are far above average, then ask them to explain how the machine that they are driving works…………

• No regard for others safety
• Totaly oblivious to what is going on around them
• Using expensive mobile phones without a £25.00 bluetooth headset
• Total lack of lane discipline on motorways and dual carriageways
• Refusing to use their indicators - all it takes is for them to move their finger a huge distance of around 2 inches!!
• White van man!

The list is endless - do you see anything above that relates to your driving style? I bet some of you do.

This is a very sad story, but the saddest thing of all is that some drivers will read this and carry on as normal - as I said before, arrogant pricks with driving skills that don’t come anywhere near their perception of them.

I would sooner drive though any Italian city than drive on our roads
