Definition Of Stress.

There are many definitions of stress. The classic is the confusion created when one's mind over-rides the body's basic desire to throttle someone and it causes a short-circuit in the brain functions.

Another such definition would be when driving on a Saturday morning and every man and his wife (who do not venture out on to the roads during the normal commuting hours and therefore do not have the first idea about sensible traffic driving, otherwise known as "Weekend Warriors" or Sunday Drivers") are determined to pull out on you at short notice and then toodle along the road at 25mph. Yes, you read correctly. 25 Miles Per Hour.

These Weekend Warriors should be required to retest every year, since their driving experience appears to be extremely limited and devoted to causing aggravation and irritation for other drivers.

I seem to be a magnet for this class of casual road user. Every Dolly Daydream within a twenty mile radius appears to congregate on the roads with the sole purpose of dawdling along in front of me.

There is a thing called the Highway Code. There is also an unwritten code of etiquette.

It's not difficult. Weekend Warriors, please take note. Don't wait until the last minute before pulling out. Your eyes didn't deceive you, you definitely saw me the first time you looked, and again the next five times. If you had to check a further fifty times, then your first port of call should be your local opticians - By Bus.
