But I've Got Me Hazards On.....

I'm pretty sure it was a rant by a comedian (smells of Ben Elton) but I never really got the reason why people got het up over people who stick their hazards on - until I started driving.

One of the streets I have to drive up and down, on a daily basis, has parking on the left, a single lane for moving traffic and then a raised, concrete, dividing strip. On the other side of the road, the same. The dividing strip is too high for even my car to mount it (Subaru Forester) never mind a normal saloon. So, if some twat decides to stop, to take a phone call, re-do, their make-up, then you're fucked. You can't move until they do. And, yes, both of these have happened to me in the last two weeks. Phone man, hazards on, was most upset when I got out of my car and told him to fucking move.

"But this is an important call!!!"


But today I found the karma bear bites back sometimes. I was about 10 cars back in a queue. Lead car had stopped, put hazards on and abandoned his car, when a tow truck reversed out of a side street, hooked up flashing car and started to tow it down the street. A dark-suited yuppie came tearing out of the chinese (conveniently located just next to hazard flashing car - what are the odds?) and went running up the road yelling:

"Stop! Stop! That's my car"

They didn't.

But he did get a chorus of honks and jeers from us poor fucker stuck behind him. Twat.

Cheers

So
did he try and park or pull over or something or was he stopped blocking all of the traffic in the middle of the road? Because that would be retarded and yes twattish. If the parking is full then you just look for a space elsewhere you do NOT just give up and stop in the road.

I think you'll find that they are called "Parking lights"
