Im sat in my garden, enjoying the sun, and some idiot in a brand new Audi has just hit a hen pheasant along the road outside my house..
its a bit annoying, and a waste of life, but really, there was no need. Its a straight for about 100 yards before a blind corner but it really only fits 1 car comfortably, you have to slow massively for anyone oncoming.
I heard him speeding up when he got to the straight. i also saw henny stood at the side of the road and then begin to cross, he carried on speeding and then wallop, henny hit the bumper and went over the bonnet. he stopped and got out, looked at his car and then got back in, and i felt like going over there and slapping some sense into him, it could have been next doors kids!
i live around here, i dont speed, because A. the roads have no safe places to do over 30 in, lots of bends and not only that but lots of children, dogs, riders, sheep often escape and many many pheasants. I have only hit something once, and that was a suicidal hen bird who i allowed to cross and then ran back under my wheels! Ive nearly been smashed into so many times, the only reason ive avoided it is because i drive at the speed i can safely stop at. On monday someone felt they had more right to the road than me, obviously because they couldnt possibly let the hedges touch their perfectly waxed merc, unfortunately im a stubborn cow and i was having a bad day, so i turned my car off and asked if he had a helicopter, to which he gave me a dirty look, reversed his car back into the passing space he had been going too fast to pull into when he saw me, and then glared as i started my car and drove safely past him (flashing the ol' passive agressive grin and a sarky ''thanks ever so much'')
It pi sses me off no end, why feel the need to try and reach 60 for a few seconds, pointless and not to mention a waste of fuel!!! and it alsways seems to be businessmen in their shiny new cars. what? is their manhood not big enough so they have to prove their masculinity by endangering peoples lives!!!
Rant end!
