Daffodil season

Post by X5Driver » Thu Mar 15, 2012 5:24 pm

Cornwall at the moment is in daffodil season which not only means loads of tractors on the road but even more pensioners behind them afraid to pass.

Well they should really get a 4.8is as it seems to relish passing bloody everything.... Cue sound of sky ripping in half.... Oap,oap,oap,oap,oap,tractor... cue end of sky ripping gentle burble, breathe and relax.

God I love this thing!

....and now the scary bit. Mobility Scooters are now allowed on Dual-carriageways!! :o

The only requirement? The vehicle must be fitted with a flashing yellow light on a raised shaft - no not on the end of an irately waved walking stick/crutch!!

I'm sure there's an answer out there somewhere, just don't expect it to be a tractor (cue pvr) or caravan at the front of the queue this Summer.....

Don't think I'm an oap hater I've learnt more in my life from older people than any schooling infact I took a friends dad to pick up a mobility scooter on Wednesday and once lifted out the trailer I had to park it up just out of curiosity :-)

Just don't want to be behind them all day
