Not a witness - but I am informed there are delays on the B5405 Great Bridgeford to Woodseaves Road at the Great Bridgeford 'bends' - where three cars have left the road and gone into the field

On my drive home tonight saw some moron in a X-Type blue/silver Jag reg BG54 decide that it's perfectly fine to throw litter from the window of their car while driving down Silkmore Lane then drive through the pedestrian crossing at Queensville roundabout while its on red.

I sense little prick syndrome.

One could always prick his little bubble/syndrome by pointing out that the Xtype was never a real Jag - just a jumped-up Ford facsimile.

Saw another sight that was almost beyond belief today. I say almost, as people are obviously so stupid!
Right on the Lichfield Road junction for The Hough, a young guy decided to try to cross the road right opposite the bust stop, this being about 30 yards from the crossing. Crossing there is daft enough, but walking half way into the feeder lane and hoping for the best before turning round and going back takes an extra type of skill!! Not reaaly sure why there wasn't a sound of car horns going or even the sound of brakes screeching but he appears to have been lucky. I'm guessing he persisted in crossing at that point as that's what people with that mindset do!

Not bad driving, on the contrary in fact. Driving up the M6 at a steady 50 or so in the managed section to the north of birmingham and the luton van (3.5T or 7.5T.. I know not, it wasn't too big to be fair) in front and to the left of me (lane 1) had the offside rear tyre deflate rather quickly.

The driver caught the van from it's swerve almost immediately and then got it over to the hard shoulder and appeared to stop it safely, my view was impaired as I had continued with the flow of traffic.

Most impressive piece of driving, I thought it was going to just swerve into lane 2 and hit the car in front of me. Shocked me a bit I have to say - although the driver in front didn't even brake or take evasive action, I wonder if they were oblivious?

Edit: This kind of van:

Similar thing on the way to Manchester Airport last week. The artic in front of me had a near-side tyre de-laminate and, just seconds later, after I'd managed to miss the bits, the remaining carcass of the tyre gave up and flew to bits, causing a most significant list to port. He just pulled up like it happened every day....

He was still there when I came back half an hour later - gave him a toot..

I can't be the only person who winces when they've just followed someone up the A449 from Penkridge who is doing 40mph and weaving the whole way, only for them to turn onto the M6 at J13...

Also, on Silkmore Lane - just because you want to overtake that cyclist, doesn't mean you can assume oncoming traffic will swerve into the kerb out of your way to dick. Wait until it's safe.
