At the risk of sounding sexist, which I'm not, for the past 10 years or so I have often noticed that the hooligan/scroat driving right up my tailgate or overtaking aggressively/dangerously close to a blind bend. Has been a young lass!

I'm sorry but I feel that the female of the species's normal reaction to danger is PANIC ... the lads at least seem to have more purpose in their reactions.

Erm, nope. It depends as with both sexes on the person. I've met men who have gone into junctions on the wrong side of the road cause they've panicked they were going to meet SS their junction and women who have skillfully retrieved themselves from a serious skid...

Oh, please don't get me wrong, I agree that there are many excellent female drivers. I'm only saying that recently it seems to be more common that it's young women who are responsible for the style of driving that attracts your attention where you would expect it to be a lad.

Your avatar AP... until tonight, I always thought it ran from right to left but now it's going the other way.
On the other hand I could be sitting here with my tablet upside down :wacko:

No ... you are in fact correct ... when I removed the fairy lights after the new year I mirror imaged the animation ... I think I mentioned something about having got far enough so was heading home or something like that.

Well spotted though ... but you did have me peering out my window because my van is parked on a hill and many a true word is spoken in jest, but Camile is where she should be.
 
Phew, thanks AP! Nice to know I'm not mad after all... OK, jury's possibly still out on that one :dance:

Better they do it in a car park than on the road. Wish I had a bit of spare ground to play on with my first car.

I quite agree, but watching these lads spin cars gives me the impression that, on the public roads, they can handle cars better than most of the idiots out there.

Also, like Annie, I had a chat to these guys who explained how they "Hotted their Rods", it took me back to my yoof, then with bikes, we increased compression ratios, fitted drop bars & straight through megaphone exhausts. The more ear shattering noise, the better. Very similar situations.

I did notice, that after showing interest, these lads stayed down at the other end of the car park.

Will deffo stay at the Kelpies again, a great location.

I can't agree more.
 
It's always sad when someone young loses their life and more so when it could have been avoided (if speed was to blame), I've seen young lads and lasses speeding here there and everywhere and more worrying is nine times out of ten they are on their phones!! Yes we have been there and done it when we were younger but as runnach points out cars are faster and there is more of them!!

I'm afraid it is genuine ... it's just been on the 6 o'clock news.

Police are investigating to find out exactly what happened.

In my words they are scratching their heids going "WTF?"
 
Talking on this kind of subject ... Has anyone ever heard anything further about the man that was found dead in a van somewhere around Stirling?

I tried a couple of times to see what it was all about but never found any further info ... I was wondering if it was natural causes, accident, murder or maybe even a MH conversion.
