Why do people look at you like the devil when they are walking on the road with or without pets

Listen you silly cow you are walking on the road
I’m not driving on a foot path

Rant over

Then respect the countryside code

(As long as she was on the correct side of the road walking towards you).

I beg you pardon
I always give walkers horse rider and cyclists plenty orifice room and make sure it’s safe for everyone involved

But I’m sorry if you going to walk on the road you are going to get vehicles coming towards you at the speed limit

There was a sign up in a field keep all dogs on leads as there were cows in the field

This stuck up woman who know thought it didn’t apply to her
Let her dogs of and w one got trampled to death

I recall the time a dangerous woman was walking down the road in just a bra and caused an accident

I can drive almost any vehicle and have done

20 odd years ago I owned and drove some of the fastest cars on the road

Driving the speed limit is fine regardless of who is on the road

Not always on country roads, especially at corners. Many hikers, walkers and horse riders out.

Country roads are different though. More likely to encounter the things I mentioned.

Same applies to walkers/hikers. They should be following the countryside code too.

I was told by a Traffic Cop once that it's a speed LIMIT not a target. Always drive to the road conditions regardless of limits. It was a looooong lecture but he let me off speeding it was a long time ago though, now they just stick a fine and points on you

I mean it’s very idiotic to drive at the speed limit on a country road. Common sense would surely tell you to go a bit under for you know, safety reasons.

[Glenn.]

There’s a country road near me that has a 60mph limit. You’re lucky if you can go 35-40 on it.

Country roads are pretty dangerous at speed regardless what the signs say. All sorts of animals can wander out, cyclists or other vehicles suddenly appearing around blind corners etc.

I tend to do under the speed limits on the narrow country lanes that have just a single lane with no pavements, especially in the van. It cracks me up when people approach with speed and have to slam on their brakes and end up scratching their nice Range Rovers to try and squeeze through. I don’t know why they do it? Just slow down.
