Morons and newly sprayed tar.

Gets a bit lairy on the bike when you're on these roads!

And boy does it hurt when you get stones fired at your legs, it's worse than the salt gritter and even that hurts like a .....

Yeah people always in a hurry yet I always catch them up at the next set of lights/roundabout.

I'm sure people never take these 20mph advisory signs to seriously, however thanks to one of the three idiots who felt it necessary to come roaring past at at least 60 (i was doing about 40) shotblasting the front on my car i now need another new windscreen. This will be the second in three weeks and another £60.

I don't expect people to do 20. But it would be nice to see a little consideration for other people's property, especially when the time saved is measurable in seconds.

Rant over, new screen comes next week.

Go bitch at the council for not laying road surfaces properly, and instead letting them bed in themselves

Do you mean loose chipping? It's a cheap way of mending a road, they just spray tar down, cover it in small stones, then a fortnight later they come and sweep up what hasn't stuck down.

And 6 months later the road is in as bad or worse condition than it was before the bodge

No, between Gailey and Penkridge, same deal though. I don't know why they did that, they have just done the Brewood road (a minor road in comparison) properly, dug up and completely re done, it's smooth as a bowling green there now.

They seemed to use stone chipping that were bigger than the rest of the area for that stretch but at least most of it is dual carriageway, so no oncoming traffic.

On a side note the new traffic lights at the A449/M54 roundabout are going to be fun when turned on.

I hate it when they resurface roads like this, also any man hole covers seem to get deeper each time, round here they are all over an inch lower than the surface now.

Some round here are approaching 3 inches deep. Utterly ridiculous. Glad I'm not a biker!
