Fuck you townie car-pilots / fit this in a tweet and stay fashionable.

Followed some epic shitebag out of Bath along the middle road. It's not the A4 or the A46, it's the other one. Still an A-road but a bit more twisty.

There's a certain variety of driver who should not be let out of areas where there's a 30-limit, and given the nasty sod's behaviour, even that's probably going to end up with some pedestrian or pushbiker mown down for the poor taste of wanting to get from A to B at the same time as Mr (Ms, Mrs or Mx. Equal opportunity feckwit-naming here.) Tosspot.

This was one of them. It crawled along the darkened country bits at 20MPH, seemingly suffering from terrible agoraphobia or some other affliction of the wall-following. As soon as it saw a 30-limit, of which there are several, the fucking bastard decided that 40MPH was an ideal rate of travel. That's just a shit trick and there's no excuse for it. I can only guess that it felt safe when surrounded by buildings.

Stay the fuck away from the countryside. There is nothing for you here.

Oh god, I recognise this. Every flippin' tourist in Cornwall except us drives exactly like this.

I'd be ok (well, more or less) with just pottering along - it's dark and that section of road is mostly run-off water from the hills - but there's a recognisable subset of drivers that actively speed up in 30mph zones. That's something beyond useless and well into active shitbaggery.
