Three Point Turns

I prefer not to use the term bully drivers. I call them bad drivers.

All bully drivers are bad drivers, but not all bad drivers are bullies.

The most common bad drivers I see are the ones using Great Harwood roads who, for some reason, have no idea how roundabouts work. Those and the people who don't realise the dashed white line in the middle of the road is supposed to tell you the boundary your side of the road. I frequently encounter oncoming traffic when driving into Rishton, I used to think they're just driving too fast for the bend and try to iron it out. However the same happens at the lower speed bend near the co-op, there's no speed reason for trying to flatten that one out.

None of these people are bullies, they are just bad drivers.

Some drivers think that all of the road is theirs.

As a fellow 'arroder, I quite agree about driving in Great Harwood. I am especially cautious going down Queen Street and on to Tesco's. Pedestrians aren't so clever either, frequently stepping out into the road, oblivious of traffic.

thats because they know they have right of way and no matter what if you hit one no matter how much fault lays at their hands YOU will be the one to suffer especially after a big fat payout from your insurance

we need jaywalking laws like in america where at least some of the pedestrians safety is put in their hands

i was in great harwood one time and a group of teenagers were playing a game of jumping into the road to scare drivers to see if they could make cars swerve yet if they had got hit it would have been the driver at fault.

admittedly i did not swerve i accidently hit the accellorator but my guess is that teenagers pants turned to a shade of brown

ps:

the word accident was used in its loosest form
