One of the many things we have to put up with.














I first noticed the van in the right hand lane as he came off Penn inn roundabout. The road is two lanes but after two hundred yards it becomes one lane. This driver continued well past the point where he should have moved in and only forced his way in when the alternative was a head on crash. He was now 4 car lengths behind me instead of 9. Later I noticed that he had turned right.Five Hundred yards furture up the road he appeared at the next road on the right and forced his way back in the the stream of traffic heading to Torquay. He was now the second car behind me.

At the lights at Jury's Corner he moved it to the right turn lane and as soon as the lights started to change he was away. All told his three dices with death should have earned him 9 penatly points and several hundred pounds in fines had there been a police car about watching.

What it did get him was into Torquay about 15 seconds sooner than if he had waited his turn. What is he going to do with those 15 seconds I wonder, re write War and Peace? Suicide Drivers like this kill more people every year than Suicide Bombers and do they care. Shouldn't think so.
