Don't drive like a fool

Most mornings on my way to work, I am overtaken just as I approach the 'end of 30mph zone' signs, so that I have to slow when I would normally be picking up speed. Not a problem for me - I can be patient - but it makes me really angry when the overtaking car does so in the face of oncoming traffic. They could wait a short while until the oncoming lane is clear, and by then the general flow would have speeded up anyway, but they don't. They risk their lives and those of others by having to get past. The fact that I'm a silver-haired woman in a Smart ForTwo probably really upsets these (usually) men in (often) Audi or Mercedes sporty models.

Well, I'm using my blog spot this time to inform these drivers that I DO take registrations, and I DO report them to the police, so if you've overtaken in the face of oncoming traffic, on a dangerous bend or a hill where you can't see over the crest, then don't be surprised if you get a visit.

If these idiots also upset you, then please, remember their registrations, make, model, colour of car, and anything else useful, and call 101 to report them as soon as it's safe. You could help the police to make the roads safer and allow them to get on with solving crimes instead. Win/Win!
