River fords

Because they think rules don't think they apply to them   )f course in these circumstances somwone else will rescue me, sort me out and my insurance will pay............

Driving the M25 again yesterday I never cease to be amazed at entry and exit skills - third or fourth lane until the last minute and then indicate and in I come and up I go, sod you lot entry the same, I'm coming in in front of you despite the fact there is nothing behind you and I want the outside lane immediately.  These are the sort that cause the accidents but are long gone when the consquences come through.  Even saw someone on P plates on in the inside lane doing 30 mph and gripping the wheel grimly - I think it should be compulsory to have some tution on motorway driving with a qualified instructor.

we have a  ford near us at the side of Rufford park, been up this morning to take the dogs a walk and, lo and behold there is a car stuck in the ford, although there are signs saying road closed, also a barrier half way across the road. This isn't the first time this as occurred and the car park attendant says he will not be the last today. How these drivers pass their driving test I don't know because the indications are they cannot read or use common sense. Last year there was one car in there and the water was upto the roof, the drivers must think that cars float. Anyone got any ideas why people are so daft?

I guess the driver was young, foolish, and thought it may be fun. Sadly, we may all be subsidising such stupidity in our insurance premiums.

The driver has probably followed the instructions of the satnav. This, I'm told often happens.  People listen to the satnav rather than use common sense.

look at the post on sat nav for caravans Jill

Perhaps he was a tightwad trying to get the car washed for free?

We've seen this happen lots too when walking near Rufford. I can't help but think people like this are short of common sense or haven't thought about where all the recent rain has ended up!

Thats  a  tad  hard  for  those  Learners  in  Fort  William,  Inverness  &  Bangor  or  Rhyl,  Bakers2   Altho'  I  fully  understand  what  you  say  &  why  you  are  saying  it

Write your comments here...if you can get YTV or BBC Look North you may see a report that in North Yorkshire  a Stephensons coach full of school children drove past a Road Closed sign today and it got caught in deep flood waters.Emergency Services had to rescue the pupils from the coach which was in danger of capsize.The mind boggles!An investigation is to take place....

Write your comments here...yes just seen it on tv. Wonder if that driver will keep his job.

During the recent floods there were cases of drivers ignoring road closed signs and if caught by the police then liable to being charged! Roads are closed for a reason!

As regards the driving through a Ford perhaps too busy adhering to the sat nav or they don't know what a Ford actually is! They know the sign but what is it.
