Default It always happens when it rains...

...people forget that the road might offer different levels of grip from in the dry. As I came onto a roundabout with an old Saab 9000 too close behind me some corsa is apparently frikin blind as he only sees me on the roadabout as he's about to go straight onto it, locks up and bumps the kerb whilst the bloke in the Saab manages to just miss me and spins as I am braking/avoiding the corsa.

I mean it could admittedly have been a lot worse - the corsa could have t-boned me and then I'd have been rear-ended by the Saab but ffs why can't people watch where they're going and drive to the conditions

God point, had a similar thing with a Vectra this evening driven by Super Rep.

He followed me around the very wet & greasy roundabout, trying to get into my ashtray.

I looked in the mirror and, suddenly he wasn't there, yes, he had spun it.

LOts of people trying if their horns still worked in the rain!!

regards.
