Rant number 54
Today, I had to head to Dobcross - a small village in Lancashire. To get there you need to drive along the A62 which is almost literally a road from hell.
It runs for miles and miles and miles at 30 mph despite little inhabited property. It then - after what seems an eternity finally steps the speed up to 40 mph (before going back to 30 again.) Along its length are many many speed cameras - just to add to the fun.
After joining the road, I - like a good little motorist joined the queue of motorists in front of me. Now it was a little annoying that the person in-front had chosen to go at about 28 mph rather than 30 mph - but I was happy to let this slide.
Finally, after an eternity of tickling the throttle, the 40 zone came into sight.
My heart literally leaped just a little at the thought of being able to perambulate at some slightly more respectable pace.
But nothing happened. At first - I thought the person in front was: in the interest of safety, literally just waiting until they had passed the sign to put their foot down.
But still nothing happened, the sedate pace of 30 mph was maintained and I began to get a little annoyed.
'Maybe - just maybe' I thought to myself, she's (for I believe a she it was, going by what I could see) just missed the sign, she'll speed up on the next one.
NO
She carried on for the whole 40 zone at fucking 30 then, slowed back down to 28 as soon as she hit the 30 zone again.
To articulate my annoyance at this, I have written a little haiku (who said my rants are not cultured)
Fucking Stupid cock
Put your fucking foot down now
You're a shit driver!
People who can't just drive at the speed limits just drive me nuts.
Half the time they are too low anyway and not following them is just disrespectful to the poor other people who have to drive around you!
Arrrrrrgggggghhh
Rant over.
