IMO the road can handle the traffic, its just people being too polite or too ignorant.
if everyone was a perfect driver traffic would flow beautifully.
E.G yesterday, pulling out of a mates house, thru traffic qued for ONE of the local 4 schools, I was trying to pull out accross one lane of traffic to go the other way (clear, not a car in sight).
indicated, went to move out in this gap, and this bolshy woman (50+ with 10yr old kid
, poor kid) pulled into the yellow hatched area, blocking me in, I wound down window and asked her to move back out the box (had her window open), just held her nose higher.
so beeped horn, still didn't acknowledge, so I just about rammed in to her, the two cars infront (who were clear of the box) kindly moved out the way and the car behind her, yet STILL she sat there.
So I got thru the gap kindly created by the innocent parties, pulled up right next to her, got out, went to her door, and asked her why she felt it nessacery to do that (in a relativly questionable tone), she just sat there, two hands on wheel, with her nose so far in the air I think she could tell me how many planes where in the sky at teh time.
her two kids were terrified of me.
went to front of car and took a pic of her in box, with number plate, still didn't even blink.
WHY are some people like this??
they are clearly wrong yet they refuse to be decent, even when its in their own best interests!!!!!
