I always moan about them,
The idiots on the road,
But today was different,
Today the good drivers were out.
Drove at correct speeds,
Left sufficient gaps between each other,
Were polite to others,
Allowed others out with courtesy.
To cap it all
I saw the weirdest thing,
I saw the lone BMW,
The one that had an indicator fitted,
Fitted at the factory.
I almost stopped in shock,
I don’t think I had seen that before,
A BMW indicating which way it was going!
I looked in my mirror
And there coming towards me
Was a Ferrari,
It could have flashed by me,
But no it stayed behind,
A reasonable distance behind.
So today was a good day,
A good day to be on the road.

The rarest of days - I have so many gripes about bad driving habits I could produce a list - wish I'd been there to witness it Andy.
Yes yesterday was a rare day a 40 mile round trio to see Joyce and it seemed all the GOOD drivers were around me.
Yes I too gripe about the bad drivers, just been down to get the weekly shop and they are out there this morning, one came around a corner on the wrong side of the road!
Gosh, did they stop at pedestrian crossings too? Most are good round our way, but we can never assume. A few would now down pedestrians!
Oh yes they did.
Pedestrians are worth ten points in my brother and my account, one on a bicycle is worth twenty points, I am winning at the moment by 23,533,940 points!
Any traffic about in 1066? I can't remember. Oh lol, a friend was born on that day - maybe in 1066 too. But he will be age 50, so..... 100 points if we knock down a pedestrian? Doh! Yes, on our licence.
Those are the best driving days! I also noticed an Audi, similar drivers to BMW I think, driving under the speed limit on the Motorway. Isn't it funny how you notice these things? Just shows how rare they must be!
Having been a patient driven by a volunteer driver (bless their souls) each day about 60 miles i have been able to see many antics from a different angle. All in all we aren't a bad lot of drivers but it's always the idiot we notice.
Yesterday i opted to drive myself and took a leisurely 59mph along the motorway, i overtook nothing and all sped past me but it was a perfectly timed and pleasureable drive.
BRIAN HERE ~ Busy Saturday just catching up on MPS. Please check Our Fishy Tale ! Love the CORRIES great Sound great Song ! Loved your FANTASY POEM ! BMWs signalling ~ FERRARIS* not flashing ! Were you driving a BLACK MARIAH ? I drive a Vauxhall Mariva because I use it as a Gerry Ferry on a Sunday and most drivers treat me as an obstruction on the road. ANGELA thinks shes marrying a RICH MAN (I just pose as one !) and expects me to buy a BMW when we are married (shes asleep at the Moment so please dont tell her NO !) it would spoil my Socialist Image ! Interestingly enough when we were in CUBA (noted for vintage American Cars) our BUS on the Motorway was overtaken buy a Caballero on a Caballo ! Now there is a Country to emigrate too !
Blessings & Peace to YOU & JOYCE
Love BRIAN & ANGELA 💙🧡 💙🧡💙
