RIDE awareness

A place where you can have a rant, vent your frustrations, blow off steam, shout off in a wrath of God style and then feel so much better about things.

RIDE awareness

Post by goatpants »

I have to go on one of these. Not happy to get threatened with a course or get maybe 6 points for driving with undue care and attention. Sort of admitting defeat tho in my eyes it was one of those things. So it's not enough to be off work for a week (no sick pay only ssp), bust a footrest and rear hangar and then shell out another £200 for a new pair of boots. The w*****rs want me to shell out another £95 plus take a days f******g holiday to get there. And before all the "well your better off to do the course and save your licence" comments I feel blackmailed and well pissed off!

Shite mate int it.

I felt the same when I ran a red and got caught out, it was only 0.5 seconds! But then the course opened my eyes to what a tw@t I had been, and we actually all had a good laugh in the end.

Jump through the hoop mate.

Prepare to be patronised and lied to. All to extract cash from your wallet. Better than getting points as well though, best to just suck it up and move on. Oh, and if you have an opinion that goes against the bullsh*t they peddle on the course - just keep it to yourself or you'll end up with even more grief.........
