Trudging the dog this evening, I encountered a car parked (by a driver) totally blocking the pavement. VW Scirocco or something. Some kind of new fangled off road vehicle, clearly. No doubt the driver thinks of themself as being most considerate (to other drivers). Makes me want to scratch their eyes out and shit in their radiator vents.
Later on our loop I observed a car driver driving their vehicle slowly over a traffic calming bit of road just behind a bird standing in the carriageway. There were no other vehicles being driven or ridden on this stretch of road at the time. The driver was proceeding at about 5mph but the bird didn't take off, so the driver just drove straight over it and killed the fucker. Using the horn in every situation except where it might actually be appropriate (regardless of what the highway code might have to say about that). I closed my eyes for a couple of seconds and shook my head. I'd like to have thrown a brick at their fucking car.
