Car driving standards

I admire the driving/riding standards of the feral cunts near me with their ski masks on.

They never get killed either..........
 
Not so much driving standards but it's getting impossible to get around the country in a decent time.
I've just had a week away in Cornwall, we travel from Kent so mostly motorway or dual carriageway. Yet it took ages.
My door to door states !

This does include driving around Cornwall but only averaging 36mph is a joke

Hope he is in jail now. When it comes to reckless driving like that, the police should be reacting immediately to ensure public safety. It’s alarming how some individuals think they can endanger others without consequences. Instead of judging people who use ukwritings.com/assignment-service, it would be more productive to focus on those who are real dangers on the road. After all, seeking help with assignments is about striving for academic success and managing our responsibilities more effectively. It’s not about cutting corners or avoiding work; it’s about finding ways to balance the demands of college life with personal commitments.

Well, you were on holiday, so no rush!

They’re cheaper than proper buttons as manufacturers can make physically identical dashboards across model ranges instead of installing different wiring looks and switches depending on what the customer specs.

The marketing team then try and spin it as a “high tech” feature.

They’re hateful. I’ve had a lot of different cars over the years, including some modern ones. They’re getting worse and worse and almost all new cars are just soulless disposable appliances, which is one of many reasons I now drive an old Land Rover.

My mate has a Tesla, I was not impressed, lots of creaks and groans, not that quiet on the road and the most annoying thing is that to open the glove box you have to put a keycode into the screen (I don't know if this is something he has configured) but why? If I want to open the glove box whilst in the car and it is on why should I need to put a bloody code in?

All this "tech" must be a distraction, I have a 308 Peugeot and the heating is operated through the touch screen, you have to concentrate so hard on keeping your hand still, especially on bumpy roads, for me I don't think this is safe. Bring back physically operated buttons and switches.

Well I had one before covid and something clicked with me, watching the videos that highlight all of the risks and then the info they gave on how 5 mph more can be the difference between killing someone or not, really hit home for me. I now do not speed, I do a max of 69 on the motorway and leave way more space than I used to. Amazingly I don't see any noticeable difference to journey times and I arrive a lot more chilled out!

Tesla are the worst for this kind of shit.
 
Since retirement I spend far more time walking than driving. People seem to be unable, or unwilling, to put everything on hold and just concentrate on their driving. The number of drivers I see talking on their phones or, probably worse, looking downward presumably texting is staggering. We’ve developed a culture where we need to be in permanent contact with someone, it doesn’t matter who, just as long as we’re talking/texting someone. Driving too close is another common issue.

And...just to fan the flames of doubt, go to your average speed reading on your car, mine's about 29 mph.

Nothing new though! Back in the 90's I had a Vauxhall Calibra, all instrumentation was digital. Fuses kept blowing taking out speedometer, fuel gauge, clock, all internal lighting. Local dealer just kept replacing bigger fuses, whish still blew.
Had a fuse go while on holiday in France, took it to a local village garage and the old boy doing the repair found the original cause and fixed the problem for good. He wouldn't take any cash so I bought him a couple bottles of Cognac.
 
Another moron in the wrong lane at a junction, just decides to swerve into my lane without indicating or realising I'm there. These idiots are always in shit cars as well.
