Silly woman driver who cannot read road signs.

At midday today, a stupid woman tried to travel along Grafton Rd the wrong way.  It took ten minutes for her to realise that I was not going to move and let her on her merry way.  Eventually she reversed onto Horn Ln, with nervous effort, only to obstruct Acacia.Apologies to those behind me, but we did have the right of way.Travelling up a one way street is an offence and is positively dangerous.  If you, you silly woman read this, you could have caused an accident or even hit someone crossing the road, even a small child.Think twice before going the wrong way on a one way street, you can be prosecuted.

She is probably an uninsured fresh-off-the-boat foreigner that cannot understand English let alone British roads.

What on earth makes you say that? Any evidence or just rampant xenophobia?

Fiftyish with permed grey hair.  Just a chancer who thought she could get away with it.Should have taken photo and given it to the police.

Crickey Nikki, give the lady a break - we all make the occasional driving mistake. Nobody's perfect.

Maybe she didn't see the sign?  Maybe she made a mistake? Not everyone is out to deliberately do wrong.

People frequently drive the wrong way down Berrymead gardens. Not clearly signposted that it is one way.

...but Grafton clearly is marked one way, at the Horn Ln, junction.Two no entry signs and large letters on the road, no entry.  Also a width restriction.

Yes I agree Grafton Rd  it is very clear that it is one way only, unlike Berrymead gardens.

Happens frequently in Milton Road Usual response is "so what!" or something considerably ruder .
