Today's "What Gets My Goat" - NO POLITICS!

[mr self destruct]

Drivers who don't carry the most basic of emergency kit.


On my ride into work today I came across the aftermath of an accident. Young lad had just lost control of his Peugeot on a blind bend and slammed into a tree. Front end was fucked, car's a write-off, but it came to rest across both lanes with cars backing up on either side. I got off and asked if he was ok (not a scratch on him, but in shock), then tried to push the car off the road. No luck with that, so I asked the nearest few drivers if they could tow the Peugeot to the side of the road for safety's sake. None of them did, the drivers started getting impatient and going round on the verge to get past.
I stopped every car as they passed and asked if they could help.
Nobody, fucking nobody, had even a tow rope in their cars. WTF?


My basic kit includes a tow rope, light bulbs, fuel can, everything to change a wheel, medical kit, food & water.


People think if they have an AA card they don't need anything else. Fucking dicks. :rolleyes
