Its not selfish if you prevent that driver from having a serious accident or killing someone.

It's a silly season first as FOUR cars get stuck on Cornish beach
And plenty of people were there to see it - in the third such incident in Cornwall in the past two weeks

That's quite an article there with multiple photos and witness interviews.
Probably the most exciting thing to happen in Cornwall for a while

Someone being interviewed in the article said the four cars entered the beach together. I wonder if they were all part of the same travelling group. Posh organised holiday perhaps?

Just to illustrate the point, parked round the back of Bethnal Green Tesco's in an estate yesterday lunchtime, wedding party going on at someone's flat. Not a lot of money around here.
I know everyone else has moved on but it was just begging to be photographed.

The figurative phrase 'stick in the mud' derives from the imagery of someone whose wheels are stuck in wet clay and is unable to progress. It was preceded in the language by earlier versions, for example 'stick in the briers, clay, mire' etc. These were usually applied to people who remained in a difficult situation, either by choice or because they were stuck.

Quite a moving piece here with the partner of the woman killed by this tosser, it seems he was interviewed on BBC breakfast this morning.This made me angry; particularly the video shot by the driver which shows him steering with his legs.
Note that the video shows what looks like ideal driving conditions, so the thing that causes the crash is purely the excess speed and the dangerous driving.
The outcome: the death a pregnant woman who was parked on the hard shoulder with a flat tyre and two severely injured children.

I’ve seen people on the motorway driving like this before, I’m sure most drivers have, and frankly it scares me. And I’ve been pulled up on the hard shoulder before, in a similarly vulnerable position.
I presume that the driver will have to reapply for a licence when released but surely this sort of driving should mean a lifetime ban? I note they had form for driving without insurance and racing on the roads.
I consider myself quite soft on law and order, but speeding and dangerous driving makes me incredibly angry.

I think he’s spot on when he touches on ego. That’s what it is. Stupid egotistical people - usually young men - who wreck lives for the sake of a fucking Facebook like.

Seems to be a lot of wrong uns in stolen cars, or drunk drivers - I can't imagine anyone sober and legitimately driving their own car or a hire car, would drive onto a motorway the wrong way.

Unless it's a person with health issues, you'd have to be particularly fucking thick not to notice you've travelling the wrong way on a motorway, even if you were enough of an idiot to enter it accidentally in the first place. Unless the m-way happened to be completely deserted, it shouldn't take more than the sight of two separate vehicles heading towards you for the penny to drop and realise you are the one travelling the wrong way. Not to mention the fact that all the road signs are also the wrong way around. So just move to the hard shoulder immediately and wait for the cops, or at the very least do u-turn and start travelling the right away, rather than just continue travelling against traffic

i once entered a motorway slip road the wrong way that should have been no entry from where i'd come from, which was a particularly confusing and badly signed couple of roundabouts when trying to find a business park that was obv just off the motorway and i hadn't exited from the motorway in order to access the area. thankfully someone was coming the other way (to alert me) but not so many that i was in the way and it was multiple lane so i was quickly able to get out of the way and turn around. pretty frightening though, you would have to be all kinds of oblivious to just keep driving.

Met up with Hannah Courtoy a week next Tuesday
Met an old dear driving the wrong way up the slip road from the A3 at Compton, it’s a fast slip road too, very nearly a bad one, but stopped in time, backed up to the bend so others coming could see me stopped from a distance whilst she spent an age turning around. Shit me up a fair bit…

Interesting development: AI cameras that instantly detect people using mobile phones at the wheel or not wearing a seatbelt.

Sadly it’s hardly worth it nowadays no matter how much someone deserves to be told what they are. Certainly unless you can handle yourself in a fight. And don’t get upset by confrontation. And are happy to risk the possibility of the utter cunt who’s being completely reckless at the wheel carrying a knife or worse.
In fact, the more of a cunt a driver is being, the higher the chance of them becoming violent if anyone dares to highlight their reckless behaviour to them, however politely. As it happens, on my commute home this evening on the South Circular, some small-dicked cunt incorporated right in front of me without yielding, causing me to brake hard. And all because he was for some reason desperate to get in front of the car in front of him that had just incorporated onto the main road safely. Perhaps because the other driver hadn’t been driving fast enough for the twat’s liking.
Anyways, as I braked hard I honked as well to make him aware of the hazardous situation he’d caused. As all traffic stopped immediately ahead and I was on my motorbike, I overtook all the cars in question including said cunt, and of course, instead raising a hand to apologise like any decent human being would, or at least be embarrassed looking straight ahead to avoid eye contact, his neck was stretching out like fucking E.T. as he poked his head out of the window to see if I dared to follow up my honking with as much as a dirty look (which I gave him), never mind a few choice words.
When the traffic lights turned green I rode out happy in the knowledge he would have been pissed off he wouldn’t be able to catch up with a motorbike in traffic. But if I enjoyed a bit of bother, and had the physicality to give me a good chance to come on top against the majority of randoms, I would have been happy to escalate because it’s almost tempting to conclude if aggressive scumbags got seven shades of shit beaten out of them every time they put lives at risk out of arrogance or cockiness, they’d soon refrain from doing it again.

Hello
I don't confront, I just submit footage of dangerous driving taken on my bike camera to the police.
Some time ago I did yell at a driver that he'd kill someone if he carried on like that, and he completely took the wind out of my sails by agreeing that he was well out of order.
