Stuff that happened to you that doesnt deserve a thread

So last night it rained in Cape Town. Leaving work at something past six I was met with the kind of traffic I try to avoid by leaving at this time. Let me just admit, Capies can not drive in the rain. Its a sad fact, no need to argue. However, seems they have a total inability at using any freaking function of their vehicles as intended as well. Fog fxxxxg lights are meant for use in foggy fxxxxg conditions not on on dark rainy nights where the glare they create blank out all else. What are these idiots thinking, that its safer driving a car when the red glow being emited from rear freaking fog lights renders their brake and indicator lights invisible and its reflection on the wet road surface blanks out all else? What the XXX people?

Sorry for pulling a Jai Haze on you but damn!

Regards

You are not alone, us up here in Gangsters Paradise also have solar powered drivers, 2 drops of rain and everyone loses the ability to drive, except for the really bright sparks who emit such a aura of perfection that they don't need lights at all for others to be able to see them.

I sat in traffic last night thinking the same thing, Until I compared in my mind this CT traffic to that of JHB (that Im used To).

For one the people are Waaaay more decent and safety aware here on the roads compared to anywhere in GP.
I enjoy the morning conversations with People complaining of 20 mins traffic, HaHahah! Ive been groomed by JHB traffic, try 1.5H in any direction in JHB, Makes the CT equivalent of 30 mins look like a normal drive. Another thing I havent seen here is when People turn around ON the Highway driving the opposite direction to the nearest offramp, that happened almost everytime it rained on my route in JHB, and lets not even mention taxis in JHB...

With this said... I am grateful that I do not work in the City, Those people have REAL traffic coming from the N1 in the mornings!

AND most people don't drive slower or increase their following distance.

To most of these clowns slowing down or increasing following distance would mean they would be going backwards.

I am not saying drive like hell when it rains but in a light downpour there is no reason to do 40kph in the fast lane.

You have to drive close to the car in front when visibility is poor so you can see them. If you're too far away you can't see them and be able to take the necessary evasive action when necessary.

Also, you need to get out of bad weather as soon as a possible cause everyone knows that there are more accidents in bad weather, usually caused by people being too far away from the car in front and therefore not being able to take the necessary evasive action. So you need to drive as fast as possible.

Really guys, where did you buy your licence? First rule of licence buying... know how to drive properly in bad weather....

Thanks! It's the first certificate since I started in IT. Onward and forward, I aim to be in the security sector in a year or so.

Next two exams to be done - Server and Security.
 
Ok, so this flu/cold/wrath of the god's (or whatever it is) has had me on my back for the whole of the long weekend. Rejoining normal society a bit at a time today, hence I have been absent here a day or two. Took me most of an hour to catch up on all the notifications, that with skipping a few here and there.

Did not vape all of Saturday and only managed two ml on Sunday. First time since I quit smoking I've been taken out of action like this. Did not have a full bronchial infection as was the norm when I was still smoking but was heading that way. I shudder to think how bad it would have been had I not quit when I did.

I took leave this week hoping to replace some patio doors with sliding doors over the weekend and have the week free to take care of some other odds and ends and have some lazy personal time. Only managed to go buy the doors and safety gates today and that was about all I could handle.
Hoping to make good headway tomorrow.

Plans falling apart at the seams seems to be the theme for me this year.
