Well done to him on passing, doesn't say who's fault the crash was?! Littleworth Road can be a nightmare, I've had my mirrors whacked in and all sorts by impatient drivers trying to squeeze past the parked cars.

Well done to Gareth, and to be honest, in order to drive in High Wycombe you need the experience of an accident, in fact it should be a compulsory part of the test "avoiding clapped out car being driven in the middle of the road by an OAP/boy racer/illegal immigrant with no tax / insurance.”

I have to navigate them every day on the way to work...

I think that's a bit racist of you pal. How do you that anyone who isn't white skinned is an illegal immigrant or even an immigrant? Do you stop them and check their passport on your way to work?

Many second generation non-white people are born in this country and are just as British as you!

How is it racist ? Who said anything about skin colour apart from you Franky ?

If anything it is Ageist / illigal immigrantist / Non taxist and possibly even the worst of all, non insuranceist !

I demand a witch hunt for this openly "ist" person !

The skin colour issue comes into it because if someone is white and you have no interaction with him, only seeing him in his car as he drives past, how can you assume that he might be an illegal immigrant?

Is it in the driving style lol?

Hooray a virtual war of words,

Having driven professionally for 9 years, doing about 33000 a year I have become adept at spotting a “bad driver”.

At no point in my previous comment did I mention the colour of someone’s skin as a rule for judging bad driving skills, but, based on the amount of miles I cover, the biggest problems I encounter in my day are driving the local roads in and around High Wycombe.

To further add to my previous comment, one day there will be a centralised database linking insurance/road tax & and drivers licence to the car being driven, but until then it is safe to surmise that a clapped out old banger is more likely to be driven badly (and with out insurance) than someone in a newer car.

If you watch “Traffic Cops” you will also note that the Police often have a “hunch” about a driver based on the car they are driving, and 9/10 cars pulled over are clapped out old bangers…

And before you start moaning, I gave up my job with BMW (330i) and now drive a 51 plate Peugeot…

Be a great idea if a fool proof way of NOT being able to even start the car unless your biometrics would allow it?
