Car flew past me today?
Find answers to your legal question.





Car flew past me today?

well it didn't exactly fly - pulled in front of me, I noticed sticker on the back "Please drive carefully - children on board". Now this mother was well over speed limit, driving with one hand cos she was talking on her mobile with one child in the car. My question is - Do I have to drive carefully to subsidise her carelessness or should her sticker have read something else? What do you think it should have read?
Sorry about long question but couldn't think how to word this best.

Gemby - if everybody lets everything go then not only the morons but also the non morons get killed too, - my point was don't ask people to drive carefully then risk your child's life because you can't put the damn mobile down!

Frustrating isn't it? Of course you should drive carefully, I wish you were a Police Officer who could have pulled her over, but such is life.....Perhaps her sticker should have read- "Beware -Moronic Mother at wheel"


Wish Fairy
It should have ready "please drive carefully to compensate for the fact that I am an oblivious and selfish tit"


Rhymes with Orange
How about this, "Don't crash into me and kill my children, I'm going to do that myself."

What a retard...

Sadly, nothing you say will help. People like this are the kind who appear on TV, crying and slinging snot if something happens to their precious child, or who think the government should 'assist' them more in child rearing (read provide free daycare, or if you really want to help, let them stay home on full salary until the kid leaves school) There is no help for these people. Just pray they figure it out before something desperate happens.

sticker should have read"this is my road get out of the way i'm too busy to be careful and i don't care about my childs safety i will carry on in my single minded ways blissfully until i kill someone.. thanks.. now GET OUT OF MY WAY!!"

i think the best stickers are "how's my driving" does the idiot behind pick up their mobile and ring the number or write it down?

sp52uhh
drive safely,
and her sticker should read
"I'm a bad mother with kids that'll end up with ASBO's, you'll see me on the trisha show!!"

Sounds like one of the stupid cows that you see on the road occasionally

it should have read "Drive carefully because I'm irresponsible and will probably kill my kids before they reach their teens"
I hate people who do that Grrr!


troll-la-la-la-la
"selfish ***** on board - no one else matters"

It should read: Beware of soccer mom driving this car because 1: I am on the phone making playdates for my spoiled kids. 2: (while on phone) I am reaching in the back seat to give snack to extremely overweight kid. 3: (While on phone AND reaching into backseat) I am also referreing a fight between my two brats. 4: (while on phone and giving snacks and referring fights) I am also speeding because I had to allow my daughter to change her outfit 15 times and am late for the playdate.

All this would cover the back window but that is ok because I never use the mirrors anyway except to put makeup on whild doing all of the above!

I see them every day - bunch of muppets behind the wheel, either on the phone or putting make up on.

The weather won't stop them either, ice on the road and they still drive like morons!

Here is the sad part this person doesn't think she was driving wrong. I see these people everyday as a Police Officer. They get stopped and say, "was I really driving that bad"? As we all know there are somethings people get by with and some they don't. These are the ones that eventually end up hurting someone we love.
The sticker should read, "Its all about me not you so get out of my way".
As a concerned citizen you could write down the license plate number and call the local police. This helps sometimes.


Maud The Skivvy
The b*tch!

I always drive carefully when my kids are in the car!

Those types don't deserve to have kids.......her fallopian tubes should be blocked up to stop her having anymore!!!!!!


Mama

Approach with caution - idiot at the wheel.

It makes no difference what the reason for driving like that. one of the above answerers said child may be bleeding or mother in hospital, but that is still no excuse. not only was she endangering the life of her child, but also the lives of those who could have been caught up in a collision due to her irresponsibility.

Maybe one of her kids was in the back seat bleeding to death and she was hurrying to get to the hospital, or maybe her mother is in the hospital dying and she's trying to get to see her one last time, or maybe her husband was in a car accident and she is rushing to get to him.....

My point is, you don't know why she drove the way she did. Maybe she had a valid reason, maybe she didn't. You are not responsible for her actions, but you are responsible for your reaction to her. Let it go.


EDIT: I agree, but you can't change her behavior. You are responsible for your behavior. So why don't you focus on making sure you drive safely.

What she did was idiotic. I'm not downplaying that. I'm just saying not to judge and not to let it drive you crazy.


bungee
and this concerns you how
