Ordinary Gweilo

(with apologies for encroaching on Fumier‘s territory)

To the driver of a people carrier, registration LL 1380 (or similar):

• The reason that large white KMB bus was stopped was because of the red traffic light.
• The reason that several people on the pedestrian crossing looked at you incredulously (not that you noticed) was that you nearly killed us all by driving through the red light.
• Driving at 60-70 kph in a busy town centre is both dangerous and illegal.  If you insist on doing it, at least pay attention.

Good grief.  I can’t help thinking that if I hadn’t waited for the bus to come to a complete halt before I started to cross, I would almost certainly have been hit by that lunatic. 

One more thing whilst I’m here.  Yellow boxes.  The idea is that you don’t drive into them unless your exit is clear.  This is to allow other vehicles to get across the junction rather than blocking everything up.  It’s a good idea, but it doesn’t work if drivers are so stupid or selfish that they just carry on regardless.

That’s all.
