Lichfield Road heading out of town, stopped at traffic lights with Riverway. Car turning right which had stopped across the cycle section at the front had to reverse back when an articulated lorry came out from GEC road because the lorry was going to hit him. After the lorry had completed his turn the car driver then moved forward over the cycle section. What a plank and why???

Well, my ABS works.
I was proceeding out of town on Lichfield Road, approaching the box junction at Riverway, with a little space in front of me, abus behind and a line of cars turning right into the Hough Retail Park on my right. I was contemplating the possibility that the lights might turn red, but they didn't and, so, I proceeded into the junction, as the approaching traffic continued into town in the opposite direction. Suddenly, spotting the slight gap in front of me, a car turned right into Riverway, where it says No Right Turn. Sharp breaking ensued, on a wet road covered with intermittent yellow painted stripes. A collision was barely avoided, though I wonder if there may have been some disruption to the passengers in the bus behind...

Great driving this morning from the driver of a white Audi Q3 towing a horse box on Radford Bank and Silkmore Lane, reg no DX14KFZ. The last time I looked , the speed limit is 30 on both roads, so sitting tight up behind me, then overtaking on Silkmore Lane and forcing me to brake so that you don't hit the car in the other lane coming towards you was first class driving. If you need to get somewhere that quickly, set off earlier.

Two things I'd like to pick up on here... Overtaking while towing, when did that become legal again? And... if there was actually a horse inside, this person deserves a horse-kick to the side of the head!

Yes, but beware if you did have one, then it would probably cause something else to shrink......

Enjoying a drop of red.
On the contrary, I've always found drivers of Audi Q series cars to be massive dicks.
