Snow Fool.

Should this driver be banned from the roads for life?

What is going on in the heads of some people scares me .

What an idiot !!!!

[sapelesam]

I drive a real 4x4 with cold weather tyres, my boot is half full with winter supplies, not matter how well I'm prepared I could be killed by this moron.

[douglas9401]

Ah, the annual tank driver photo.
Yes, he should be banned for a time along with all the other useless articles clogging the place up with their 'skills' every time the sun goes behind a cloud.
While we're at it maybe give those tasked with deploying gritters a kicking too.

[sapelesam]

I live on a bus route, never gritted, buses cancelled. I used to grit two corners near me until a solicitor friend advised me of legal problems if someone crashed between the corners. Madness.

[zebo]

Is there a legal amount of visibility in the UK? obviously this driver's just an idiot but in Germany you used to have to have at least 75% clear to include all the windscreen, not just inside the arc created by the wipers.

[sapelesam]

In UK the law says you must clear all windows and remove snow from roof.

[Bazile]

I bet his reaction to being stopped went something like this -

' What did you stop me for - why don't you go and catch some real criminals '

[sapelesam]

If I were rich, I would commission a survey of the value of rubbish people store in the garage v. the value of their car on the drive.

[sapelesam]

Bazile, the police response to that statement should be a swift kick in the groin. Or, if idiots like you were not on the road, we would have more time to catch "real criminals".

oh, and the other favourite 'I'm a tax-payer and pay your wages'

err, don't they pay taxes too?

Yep, ban the twazzock, careless and dangerous driving. (makes me fume)

[hereIam]

It beggars belief really, how long wold it have taken to brush the rest of the snow off ???

[albaqwerty]

ham, it's the 'I can see therefore I can be seen' mentality

[hereIam]

Must be albs. What a wazzock !

[sapelesam]

Alba, a patient of my wife said "I pay your wages", her response was, "Do you have time to discuss giving me a raise".

[ToraToraTora]

not for life but a year I reckon, what a tawt!

[ToraToraTora]

alba, good word, twazzock, with your permission I'd like to add it to the TTT dictionary.

[EDDIE51]

As he has only been 'reported for careless driving' he will not get a ban at all just 3 points and a small fine, this is the lowest category of the offence, see the guidelines.

The roof should have been completely cleared also the windscreen, 3 points and a heavy fine for putting the public and other road users in danger, idiot.

[Old_Geezer]

Oh be fair. That time of night he was probably too *** to manage to clear the whole windscreen.
