Rant number 291
Today we have been having another great day in the Lakes.
We had plans for the morning but after we decided to just pick a direction and off we went - which was great
It's fabulous to have the flexibility of a car to do just that.
The only downside is country roads - which involve considerably more driving effort than bigger roads due to them being rather windy and somewhat narrow.
I don't mind that at all - after all - I'm on holiday.
When it comes to narrow roads though - I tend to drive a little slower than the speed limit - merely as I don't know the road.
I also hate going too fast round the bends because you don't know if someone coming the other way has overshot the bend do you?
Call me a wimp if you like - but I want to travel from A to B with no bodily injury to me or my passengers.
I think that's reasonable to want to do?
So why is there always some asshole in my boot on every dark narrow road.
I may be a shit driver that doesn't know the road and that may annoy you. Putting your headlights in my boot however will not make me speed up.
I will specifically slow down!
On a normal straight lit road - I'd get it. On a dark country lane barely wide enough to put 1 1/2 cars abreast speeding at 60 seems folly - whatever the speed limit signs say.
Fuck off out of it captain in-yo-boot. It's not ok to risk other people's lives just because you are an impatient wanker!
Rant over.
