Why are some people given a driving license? (Wheel damage)

Fuming tonight. Dropped my friend off home earlier, turned around and began to drive out of town. Turned right after waiting for some traffic, and there is an immediate blind left with a house on the inside. I must have been round this bend 1000 times or more. I can't have accelerated to more than 20, when some complete reprobate in a £250 fiat punto decides to come barreling around the corner, mostly on my side of the road, doing I would guess about 35-40.

 

I had no choice but to slam on the anchors and turn away from him, or he would have taken me out. I was met with the delightful sound of one of my rear wheels making sweet love with the kerb, stopped and jumped out to abuse the end of the bell in the punto, but he drove away from the junction oblivious. Anyway, this is the aftermath…Scraped all the way around, and bent the lip in two places. They needed a refurb anyway, but I have been putting it off, guess i'll get it done now…gutted as they're such lovely wheels :(

I ran after him, and when he drove off I ran back to the car, spun around and followed him. He turned right at the first junction which leads up to the market square, by the time I got to the square I couldn't see which way he had turned :( It was busy o'clock as all the schools were chucking out, so there we're lots of other cars clogging up the roads. Still gutted though, sent Ibrar a PM tonight, and contacted RH for a quote on some new parts.

LOL! Yeah i'd totally get wasted by ABZ in a drag race!

 

Nah, there we're loads of little kids around and crossing the roads etc.. As it was pick-up time. So as much as I wanted to go all gone in 60 seconds on his ass and leave two black lines and a load of smoke behind...I just drove normally as the last thing I wanted to do was squash someone's baby. So by the time I got to the square he had vanished from view :( It's a small town though, so I hope I will see him again at some point.

I had some women nearly run me of the road the other week I went around some car parked in a cack place and pulled in again slowly so I would of been over enough but able to get out again without reversing (Stupid little lane cars staggered everywhere) and this chavy girl in the crap heap had hurtled down this road and could clearly see me and what I was doing as she was over 100m away and never even thought about slowing down and she missed my back end of my car by about 4inches if that and that was due to me trying to get out the way as quick as possible and nearly having to drive into the back of a parked car otherwise she would of blasted into the last 3/4 of my car. She was blatantly speeding and was about as patient and braindead as they come. If she had gone into the back of me I most likely would of punched her in the face due to it being one of them easily avoidable accidents and her being on her phone.

 

Just a typical stereotype bad women driver (I know there are some good and some on here) as the other week in Chichester on the swimming pool mini roundabout this women was coming from directly opposite me and was not indicating so naturally you assume they are going straight over as I was going to being doing as well opposite her and thank god as I never pulled out as she was on the roundabout before me and turns right and comes right around in front of me and takes the junction to my left. I gave her a helpful hand gesture and a few words of advice and she just looks at me and shrugs like the moron that she is...... I later found out that using indicators is too much like hard work and we use psychic style driving around here so obviously it is always me in the wrong.
