[Sundae]

Today my new stupids are people with "baby on board" stickers on their cars who drive recklessly.

I'm not over-fond of "baby on board" - like a reckless driver gives a toot. But women (exclusively in my experience) who are so consumed by the mundane school run that they endanger their children, themselves, pedestrians and other road users just beggar belief.

This morning a woman stuck in traffic on the opposite side of the road saw a chance as an HGV powered up to pull forward in traffic. No signal, no reasonable assumption she would be pulling over, just screeech into the school entrance. And she blasted her horn at me - ME! the most traffic aware pedestrian in the WORLD since I was hit! - because I was crossing the entrance at the time.

I wanted to go and knock on her wondow and have a word. I settled for raised eyebrows and walking at my previous pace rather than scuttling like a frightened rabbit. I had right of way, which I doubt she knew - I was crossing BEFORE she signalled (which she never did). She's lucky I'm not still there :p
