Pedestrians

The problem with cyclists is that when you're driving you have to give them a wide berth, 100ft or so, thereby endangering your own personal safety by driving on the wrong side of the road.

There is however one thing worse than pedestrians - and that's horseback riders riding on the road. As a driver there is nothing worse than coming around a corner to find some upper-class lass meandering along at 1mph, and subsequently having to drive past - again at over 1 mile berth - at no more than 5 mph, thereby putting yourself on the wrong side of the road, facing oncoming traffic, for the next 30 minutes.

I don't honestly understand why horses should, or indeed should be allowed, to ride freely on the public roads. I pay my road tax and taxes on petrol - so the road is damn well MINE! You don't see us drivers taking a "short cut" across a field simply because "we can" (unless we're drunk of course :p)... so why the hell should they be allowed to?

It's just another example of how badly the UK motorist gets shafted by the government, who can't seem to realise that people simply won't move en massé to public transport until it's at least halfway decent - imposing higher and higher taxes on petrol and what-not won't achieve anything, except maybe anger a nation of road users.

Bastards. :)

FUCKING TOO RIGHT DARREN!

I always try to annoy horse riders though by driving past them FUCKING fast.

The amount of times I get shouted at by them is wicked. I usually wouldn't be such a cunt on the road, but those horses are a fucking liability. They shit in the road, they hold up traffic, and they dont pay road tax. Yet they are the first to whinge when car drivers dont show them any respect!

I was in my m8s piss fast 950cc fiesta once and we just came off a small roundabout and get round this sorta left hander corner and there was a horse infront of us... so, there was also one of those ickle 2 post pedestrian crossing things in the middle of the road.

We could:

1) Hit the horse
2) swerve round the ped crossing onto the wrong side of the road to miss the horse then get back on the right side.

We did number two, and it was fun :)

But, those sexy bytchez in dem tight as f00k trouser thingies with their cameltoes don't always look so bad.... anyway..!! :D

ok lets swerve this discussion around...
What animal would you stop for if it was standing in the path of your car? (presuming you're rich enough to have it fixed and so forth)

me myself would coldbloodedly run over anything about as big a a medium sized sheep (well maybe just knock it over then drive round it)

LOL jonneh

I'd avoid most things, more as a reaction rather than anything else. I wouldn't have time to assess "hmm, a wild stag, looks around 9 stone, I'd best not crash into that".

Obviously though, if I came across a biker I'd run him over. And then reverse over his head. Several times.

Hey, you shouldn't run your girlfriend down anyway, no matter how bad she moans, for she always has another use.

Mmmm wild slag... hehe :D

hur hur TUG. Paedophile.

Anyway, my current roadkill tally stands at 3 rabbits, a pigeon (doing 85 on the M6, you havent lived until you have exploded a pigeon and seen the feathers fly), 4 million flies and what looked vaguely like a hedgehog.

I nearly hit a deer once but I suddenly realised it was actually bigger than my car, so I tried to avoid that one :)

Oh and btw, you havent seen psychopathic pedestrians until you have driven in St Andrews. It makes carmageddon look like Grand Prix 2......

And dont get me started on fucking horses. Ridden by women who wouldnt look out of place in Upper Class Twit of the Year. "My Daddy is important and has a butler so the road is mine and you common people can go to hell". I never slow down for the fuckers. Horses are for fields and racecourses, roads are for cars and never the twian should meet.

Pissing on the so called "upper class twats" and other horse riders is fair enuf. Horses still get the fecking wind up them when cars pass by at that speed whether they wanted to go out riding or not. They got no choice in the matter.

The only reason I slow down when passing horses is for the horses themselves. Not the ppl riding them whether they be twats or not.

In saying that, there are plenty of horses used to the shit on the roads anyway, even if some tosser is speedin by.

Theres a stable down the road from where I work. About twice a week they all ride past our office to exercise the horses. We ALL hang out the window to oggle those hot bots in jodphurs, oh and the boots and the crops :)
Horse shit, great for roses. :)

hehe

hell i wear nowt on a horse, they like it too i think.

:)

Best thing to do with horses is to kneescap em, and then kick them in the head, the can run without legs, and it would be funny watching a horse and a rider on top of it writhing on the floor, got a better idea though, drive past with a chainsaw and cut its legs off, be a bit lob sided though, but funny.

Given a choice between ending up in a ditch/hedge and running over some stupid animal I know what I'd pick..

Having said that I would of course make some kind of effort to avoid them, but only to a point.

Hell it's their fault for wandering onto the road in the first place - dumb creatures :)

(PS: frankie you are clearly several rolls short of a picnic so please refrain from posting your inane opinions in any thread that involves vaguely intellectual discourse. Thanks.)

Driving past someone on a horse as fast as possible... says it all, TWAT.

Last week a friend of mine, not a rich bitch, her dad didn't have a butler, or for that matter any land apart from about 1m surrounding their house DIED.

She worked at the local stable/saddlery and was taking a horse to be shod, part of her job, some knobjob shot past her in his car and the horse reared up, freaked totally and threw her, she landed badly and broke her back...

all for £3.60p/h

so yea, I'm not suprised you think bolting past someone on a horse is clever exor, it fits the stereotype you made for yourself long ago.
