We need more "Public Information" vids, to attempt to prevent idiots from doing stupid things.

My big gripe, at the moment, is people putting on their right indicator, when approaching an exit on roundabouts, and then exiting!

Stupid though it is, i'ts not a rare occurence.
Report trilby22 August 9, 2018 8:56 AM BST
Absolutely, Lady Faye.

Another good one would be to tell drivers the benefits of obey variable speed signs.  How often are we overtaken by mugs @ 70 in a variable 50 only to overtake them in the inevitable traffic jam that forms ahead, for example?

If they obeyed the signage, there would be no traffic jam AngryAngryAngry

The public information film I remember best is the one where they tell you to break your shotgun when climbing through a barbwire fence in case the trigger gets snagged and you accidentley shoot someone.

Too right nellie...

Woman with small child, and her on the phone, crossing diagonally at the lights, and looking straight ahead, and wasn't out of the way when the lights changed...

I was screaming at the top of my voice at her but, of course she neither saw or heard me!
