I would hope anyway Some people are just plain vindictive. About a year ago I was so tired driving late one night I stopped for a doze in a (so I thought) isolated country lane. I was rudely awaked 20 mins later by a furious knocking on my window and a torch shining through on my face. Unable to see and fully expecting it to be a member of the local constabulary checking me out I wound down the window. It was just this moany old git in a raincoat walking his dog, complaining about where I was parked, perfectly safely in the middle of nowhere. He wanted me to move my van as I 'shouldn't be parked there'. He could not explain why I shouldn't be there. WTF??!!!! Just did it to be an arse, I reckon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was cycling in the rain today, a one way sidestreet, I decided to walk the rest of the way as I arrived at the main road, so I pulled over and let a car pass on my LHS, he wound down his window and shouted at me [moi?]. What do you so with these people! I've had worse than that, people are weird. Edited December 5, 2018 by LadyG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bizzard Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 I was once stopped by a copper for driving along a one way street the wrong way. I told him I WAS only driving one way. He looked a bit confused at first but he came to and didn't let me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d sped up before the derestriction signs 100 yards further on. I explained to the copper that I was late to work because my car wouldn’t start. He looked at me, smiled, and said “It’s going well now, isn’t it?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of the tale about the bloke stopped for speeding and complains to the cop 'Why me, EVERYONE was going too fast, I was just keeping up with the traffic?" Cop says "Do you ever go fishing, sir?" "Do you catch all of 'em?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
