The subject of many a thread on www.trucknetuk.com as it is too common an unnecessary occurance

This doesnt really fit in with 'friday afternoon fever' at all, as it was on a Thursday and involved a predestrian but I thought id post it anyway

Last Thursday driving along A12 around Collier Row/Romford area, a london bus was 2 infront of me so I couldnt see past it to see what was going on, but everyone seemed to be indicating to get out into the fast lane, so it was obvious there was an obstruction in our lane. Well I could not believe it when I see what it was, a lady laden with a dozen shopping bags, walking down the middle of the dual carriageway Even to this day I cant believe she did that

Is it the general feeling here that you would report somebody for that sort of driving?

To be honest, if the road was empty and he'd caught the slide I wouldn't be that bothered as I'm sure many drivers of RWDs enjoy the odd oversteer moment on an empty roundabout perfectly safely. The fact he deliberately flicked the car with traffic around and then failed to recover means he's driving beyond his capabilities and is going to get it seriously wrong if he carries on like that.

I've never had moments like that...................
