last night had bastard in flatbed truck honk me (at 03:00, illegal at night ) because he thought I was taking too long to get through #roadworks where barriers, cones etc had fallen in the road due to #wind - makes you wonder if folk are #driving around like zombies as from seat of a truck you would have clearly seen these debris - or if I wasn't there, he would have sped through and run over the roadworks infrastructure as he isn't paying for the truck and isn't bothered if it gets scratched up

At one point I thought truck was following me and was increasing distance between my car and looking for escape route (I /could/ leave it behind even faster but didn't want to take more risks unless absolute last resort), in the end driver turned into notoriously sketchy estate near me >>

I'm surprised charge wasn't causing death by *dangerous* #driving (higher starting sentence) and there wasn't an attempt to prosecute the #driver of other #car she was racing (although it might have been impossible to get evidence if she wouldn't give details nor would anyone in second car and only other two witnesses are dead)

She likely comes from "good middle class family" who could afford decent lawyers to bargain down the charge - a Kia Nero hybrid/EV isn't normal first car unless your parents are quite well off)

The bigger problem here is young drivers may be used to behaving in town as #CCTV is everywhere, but tend to push boundaries in #rural areas due to perceived lack of such #surveillance (the tree *always* wins!)

Driving the Meals on Wheels truck today blasting Deviates – Come With Me. Old punk, dented van, hot meals in the back. Saving the day one casserole at a time while the stereo tries to blow the doors off. Weird combo, but it works.
