there was one infront of me the other day, and couldn't resist reaching over, winding me window down (no electrics like) n pullin up real close.

with all the cars behind watching, i goes "how mate, are you payin road tax are ya?"

he gave me greefies, n goes "EXCUSE ME!"

i goes "are ya payin ya road tax like i am" n then left him in the dirt!

1) learn to speak english properly. no text talk...
2) leave them alone.. they have been paying taxes all their lives.. they go on the roads so they dont harm anyone on the footpaths.. theyre doing no harm on the roads..

they dont need to pay road taxes, as they do not need insurance, etc on their mobility scooters.

also bear in mind, that they may well have fought for the country.. until you can equal what they have been through in the their lives.. have some respect for them!

good day to you sir :)

i goes "are ya payin ya road tax like i am" n then left him in the dirt!A little education goes a long way. There are thousands of cars (and other vehicles) on the roads that are exempt from road tax. Not only was this a demonstration of complete lack of respect for an older (and I'm certain much wiser) person, you also drew attention to your own ignorance. Two for the price of one!

You may have literally left him in the dust, but you were left standing when it comes to wisdom, dignity and respect.


Anyone who has to dodge virtually stationary obstacles and almost gets "planted into lampeys" must be a highly skilled driver.

saw an old guy on his mobility scooter thing heading across a duel carridge way which has exits onto the M74 at lunch time, crap myself for the old guy if he kept going he would have to pass by the slip road for the motorway :fcuk:

[Didz]

cant say i have ever seen one on the road!!!!

[craigy_87]

i hadnt seen one either had to look twice to make sure i wasnt seeing things
an ambulance passed by a second later (no light or anyfin so am guessing it was jus making its rounds) it must have seen him an done something

ha ha - i like it!

i was having a very bad day, n was in slow moving traffic for over 9 miles!
i just think it's an accident waiting to happen. fair enough if there are no dropped-kirbs but as mentioned previously - "being on the motorway" with one is where i really start to worry!
