I take the steady approach when driving along Court Lane, but frequently find myself followed by someone who prefers racing between speed bumps, slamming brakes on, accelerating to the next one etc. Often I?m overtaken by people who just can?t bear to wait.


This morning at 7am I witnessed a different approach! Clearly not happy with my steady pace, a black Audi swung left into Court Lane Gardens and sped round in order to come out in from of me the other end. Needless to say, I pulled up alongside the silly arse at the lights in DV - he pretended to be absorbed by something fascinating on his phone but on glancing sheepishly in my direction, was rewarded with a slow handclap.


Seriously though, if you live on CLG and have kids, pets or both, it?s worth you knowing that this can happen. It was 7am, not the middle of the night, with plenty of folk about including a school trip setting off from DV. Maybe it?s a known thing already but I just wanted to flag it up. H

I walk down Court Lane almost every day (as I live on a street off it), and I see this happen almost every day. Not necessarily the Court Lane Gardens "shortcut" you describe (I mean, what a serious plonker) but someone overtaking at speed. I frequently shout at people to slow down ... (which I'm sure helps the situation). I wonder if the residents have thought about requesting a speed camera?

I'm getting confused. Are you being serious here or is it a bad attempt at humour?

I hope that it is a joke. If it is a joke, it's not a very funny one. The OP was making a serious point, which I would have thought most people would support. Apart from those people who are in favour of motorists driving aggressively and dangerously, whether they happen to be at the wheel of a high performance Audi or a Ford Fiesta.

Wether anyone hates slow drivers or not, you shouldn't be speeding in a residential area at all ... I was driving along woodvale towards forest hill road past the cemetery on Saturday..I have a fiat and slowed at the bumps as its quite low, the driver behind me was practically in my boot everytime I slowed down, in the end he swerved around me and continued on the other side of the road at speed to the lights at the junction of forest hill road... knowing I'd catch up to him at the lights, he went straight through the red light, swerving as he headed up towards honor oak... what a dangerous prick ( he made an oncoming car swerve as he went down the wrong side of the road )

Bizarre thing was he appeared to be reaching behind himself as he drove to steady some crutches on his parcel shelf 😶

I have experienced people aggressively driving on court lane.... so not surprised by this post at all.

Oh come on, only a simpleton could possibly think it was a serious comment.


I'm not particularly bothered if people didn't find it funny, but it wasn't intended to trivialize the OP. And in my defence, KidKruger started it...

Crushed, devalued AND trivialized.

fishbiscuits, I normally deplore using my academic qualifications in a discussion but in your case I will make an exception since you have insulted me and others.


Unless academic standards have slipped in the past half century since I obtained a Cambridge Law degree, I doubt that Cambridge awards such degrees to simpletons.


Please use more polite language in future posts.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
