Most of the tourists down there can't manage more than 30 anyway! They need to ticketed for going too slow!

I did like what the Dutch did, They all got together and filled them up with builders expanding foam. People power at its best.

Hi Bobbi, yep the tourists are a pain, coming down here spending money, buying stuff, living in hotels and B and B's, cluttering up the place  |

I know keith, we get them here too, and I really don't begrudge them (except for the traffic!) cos we have this wonderful area to ourselves a large part of the year.

The only thing that 'gets me tripes up' is that we have the highest water bills in the country, and have to share our water,beaches etc with those who have lower bills!!!!! Still need the emmets for their money though |

My sister came over from Canada recently. Only been gone a year or so but said she couldn't believe how congested the roads were here & how aggressively we drive. They said in the paper yesterday that traffic's almost doubled in the last 30 years. Most of it seems to be on the M3 when I'm commuting home each day.

Sometimes we ain't very polite, especially when we run in to, or narrowly avoid a proper wa@@er |

I think the aggressiveness comes from the life we live.
I've been off work for a couple of months, and I've noticed how aggressive the other drivers are, all got to be in front, not got a second to spare! And I was letting them go cos I was so laid-back. But now I'm back at work I'm back in the ratrace too!

I was on the local bypass yesterday in really bad rain. I thought 50 was a sensible speed as you could'nt see more than 20 yards, but there were tossers passing me doing twice my speed.

When I'm out on my Postal delivery, as soon as it starts raining, within 5 minutes I hear the sirens from the local Fire Station heading for the motorway. There must be a crash on the M3 every time it rains.

hmm id like to say im also heavy footed but i try to drive to the prevailing conditions but alot of the driving on the rds these days is just utter crap,drivers dont use the lanes correctly on motorways "i now we all seen the middle laners" but they really do get up arse!!! ive seen me on the inside lane doing 90 only to use another 2 lanes to pass the Twat in the middle and then i return to the inside lane,on occasions ive seen the motorways being used in the right way with cars moving at fast speeds but all returning to inside lane or the nearest depending on lorries and it always moves quicker.

On the A38, rain so bad that the wipers,on fast setting could'nt cope at more than 40mph, very very dark day, lights on,6, yes six,cars beeping me,showing two fingers as they went past, tailgating each other, and flying past like I was standing still. 2 miles down the road six cars all bashed up. The front car had tail smashed in the last car had front smashed in, the other 4 damage to front and back. What did I do, you've probably guessed, beeped horn and stuck up 2 fingers. Probably childish but it was great, felt really superior. Serve the silly sods right.
