Right here on this thread we've seen some discussion on the stupid antics of some 4wdrivers in the bush, but what about right close and near on our blacktop suburban roads? My little mate, Clancy, received a shock
when I took him to the vet on Thursday to have his heartworm shot: "He's 3.8 kilos overweight," we were told. "10 kg is barely acceptable but 13.8, NO WAY" said the vet. So along with adjusting his diet I decided to recommence his walking ritual that I've become a bit lax with recently, and he was delighted
!
We started off about an hour ago (1700), we walked out the front door where I was hailed by a neighbour. We stopped and talked for a few minutes, there were a number of kids playing in the street, when roaring up the road came a muddy, white Toyota Forerunner, complete with balloon-type tyres. We both looked up at the roar of the engine. The driver approached one of the several small roundabouts on our strip at an estimated speed of about 80 kph (it's a 50 kph zone) and didn't slacken off. Instead he aimed the vehicle at the centre of the roundabout and literally bounced over the top swerving almost uncontrollably all over the road as the vehicle alighted, and then set his course for the next one. The kids stood looking in amazement. My neighbour who really doesn't have a great deal of time for 4 wheelers spat in disgust. "Did you get the b******s number? I'll give it to my son (whose a cop), we'll fix his b****y wicket!"
Suddenly I felt ashamed. Here was one of my type, a 4 wheel driver, acting like a complete dickhead in view of the public, and revelling in it what's more. "Sorry, no I didn't", I responded lamely. Four wheel drivers cop enough flack and criticism as it is without mindless morons like this bloke increasing the problem.
