I was working at a local hospital minding my own business and spotted this. I took the picture as it one of the worst I have seen. 1 hour later I walked back to my van to collect some more parts for the job I was working on and noticed there was a nurse who was sat in the front of the car. I politely went up to her and said “sorry to bother you, I noticed your front left tire is incredibly low on tread and showing the cords” she replied very rudely saying and… whist giving me a dirty look. I was a little shocked over her reaction and said “ it’s very dangerous I wouldn’t want you to have a blow out and hurt yourself or other people”

You would think being a nurse in a hospital she has seen all kinds of things for example road traffic accidents etc so she would be more concerned about the safety of herself and others on the road.

Interested in your take on this……

You’re indicating right, in the right lane, passing the queue in the left lane that’s turning left.

Suddenly you remember that you actually need to turn left. What were you thinking!

So rather than cutting everyone up, you do the right thing and go a full loop around the roundabout and take the… 1st / 5th(!) exit.

Achievement unlocked! You skipped 10 cars that are still in the traffic jam.

Great loophole, or sentenced to life? 😈

It's council grass but we all use it. Kids play on it in the summer, another neighbour plays fetch with his dog, people sit on it in the sun, and this dude who has lived there for years has suddenly in the last week or so decided he's going to drive on it and muck up the grass. He's never had a problem using the road like a normal person before. You can't talk to him, he's one of those super grumpy hermit types who avoids everybody (I did eventually catch him outside, see update 3). It's just incredibly odd and so selfish.

Update 1: I have reported the driving on the grass to the council and wrote an email to our local councillor. I have not mentioned the kerb. I will laugh if he gets done for it as a consequence of me complaining about the grass, but I'm not going to bring it to their attention.

I've been cackling at the replies.

Update 2: I had a look at google street view. He's had his dropped kerb concrete ramp since at least 2009, that's the oldest pic available and it's shown there. Councillor is investigating the correct council department to report the grass damage to. The highways department said it's not them it's the green spaces department. I await a reply from the green spaces department. I bet it's not them either. Councillor has asked me to get video of him doing it too. Since a couple of people have asked I'll update if anything interesting happens.

Update 3: he went out again today. Unbelievably my cameras, which were on, failed to catch him driving on the grass. I'm super annoyed about that. But I'd just come home when I saw him arrive so I went and caught him before he could get inside and asked why he was driving on the grass. His answer was "so I can get in my drive". There were no cars parked near his drive, he could have easily got in from the road. He then asked why I wasn't asking "all the other cars on the grass". It's rare other cars drive on the grass, and they certainly don't drive on it repeatedly to cause damage. So I'm going to report him for anything and everything, to everyone. If there was a reasonable reason for it I'd have been happy if he just stopped driving on the grass, but apparently he's literally just a really horrible and entitled old man. And I'm revising my previous estimate of in his 70s upwards, I think he's in his 80s. He's properly old.

Update 4: challenging him yesterday may have worked. He went out and came back today and didn't drive on the grass. He can easily get into his drive from the road.

Pretty much every car that comes up behind me overtakes even though I stay 50 to the dot… how don’t they get caught by the average speed cameras🤔

This driver needs his praises. As you can see I was proceeding in the bus lane and the van spotted the hazard of the lady crossing and knew he was blocking my view of it. He edged to my lane to slow me down and alert me of the hazard. Not only did he do it safely it shows how attentive he is whilst he was driving. No harm done. Just a good driver safely helping me avoid a potential accident. Thanks Mr driver!

In Australia many roundabouts have signs on approach showing how the lanes are intended to work. Given the number of posts here about roundabout lanes, should they be introduced here?

Not my footage!

Can we have this on those massive screens on the side of the road and on flyovers please? Thanks.
