Did you put diesel in by mistake?

Defo not.

Annoyingly, next week before I can get a garage that I’ve used before to look at it. Looks like my running shoes are going to be used a fair bit

Don't think the diesel nozzle would fit a petrol tank.

Drivers that race to speed bumps and then try and go over using Ths Force as opposed to the cars momentum or the accelerator pedal.

Drivers who, turning right into a two way road, cut the corner, and force drivers approaching the T junction to break suddenly.

That exact thing happened to me last night, I was going slowly as I approached the junction but still had to brake quickly, not ideal especially with kids in the car.

Coming out of my local coop it's astounding how many cut the corners. I happily go right to the white line forcing them to adjust their approach.

Oh aye, forgot about that, it's usually the other way round eh?

Double parking… esp when there’s a free space right next to where you’re double parked.

There should be a place reserved in purgatory for such self important twunts who place their convenience over that of others.

Absolute flump did just that along Northfield - not even as if they would have been boxed in parking space the length of a bus and a half. Preventing a bus and an ambulance passing. Einstein.

Got a 460 mile round trip tomorrow for a final stage interview. I am NOT looking forward to that.

Currently sitting in a blue badge space with badge on display waiting for wheelchair user I have dropped off to return and once again been questioned by a “blue badge nosey bustard”. Must be at least the fourth time this has happened to me!

Trying to book flights back to Coventry to attend a funeral on a Wednesday. The only direct flights available are on Monday and Saturday. All other flights have stopovers and take at least 7½ hrs, not including check-in and transfers to and from the airport.

I've decided to drive the 1600 mile round trip instead, make a week of it and stock up on home comforts whilst I'm there.

Australian drivers. (Specifically, Perth)

My son often rants about them on the phone, but seeing them in their full incompetence is scary.

The roads in Manchester. Specifically in and around Old Trafford and heading to the Trafford Centre. It’s death by endless lanes. Never seen a place like it. So many lanes, you think you’re in the correct lane before it suddenly merges into a turn off. Not helped by not knowing the place and being in a lane to go straight on but not knowing if you need to turn left of right further on and inevitably sods law you are in the wrong lane.

I used to live in Timperley and work in Stretford. Drove it every day.

It's mental, but if you don't know it, it'll be horrible.

The Trafford centre at this time of year is horrible, it's over rated at the best of times but unbeatable at this time of year.

Took my daughter down to Manchester for 3 nights (we’re back tomorrow). Planned it around the likes of Legoland and indoor sky diving etc. The Trafford Centre was fine, just an uncomfortably busy shopping centre like everywhere else. The facilities and sheer amount of activities and day trips in the Old Trafford area is amazing though. Not seen a range of options like it anywhere else.

I will not miss those lanes though. We arrived just as it had got dark and I wondered just what I’d got myself into trying to navigate it all!

Absolutely. Predictive text is a pet peeve of mine.

I loved Manchester. My wife was miserable and really wanted home. We decided we wanted a family and 7 years down there was long enough for her so we moved back.

Been worth it in many ways and not so much in others but that's the breaks.

Private car hirer running in to the back of me yesterday afternoon in Corstorphine, didn’t want to exchange details as he was in a hurry because he had a fare in the car, said the damage was okay and was down trying to clean marks out my bumper, I hated doing it but had to phone police to ask advice as he was wanting to leave a accident without giving me any details and that’s what he did, got his reg number and hire plate and photo of damage to both cars.

He will be reported to the council tomorrow.

[AltheHibby]

Have you checked online if he's insured etc?

Don’t think you can? You can check if it’s taxed and mot’d but no way of checking if insured as far as I am aware.

There you go...it doesn't give the insurers details, it's just a hard yes or no.

It’s insured, it’s the driver who might not have a license or some other reason for not wanting to share details, took a photo of him as well which he didn’t like.
