A Scottish woman has blasted "rude" English drivers over their supposed road rage during her trip down south. Lesley Hunter Burt, 67, travelled to Scunthorpe from Falkirk, but says she won't be back.
The disabled pensioner made the journey to England earlier this month with her friend, reports Grimsby Live. The pair have been travelling to North Lincolnshire for around 15 years to visit her friend's son.
However, Lesley says it is a tradition that she is now having to scupper after a terrible experience on the roads. She says that she was left "nervous" and "panicked" by other drivers' road rage.
Lesley said: "I was driving into Scunthorpe from the roundabout at Tesco Extra and in one lane, you go straight on or left, in another it's straight on, and in another you go right. I was in the left-hand lane but going straight on and I had drivers beeping at me and I was thinking, 'What are you beeping at?' because there's two lanes that you can come off.
"It frightened me. I've got a new car that I'm still getting used to and I'd just driven 300 miles. We are visitors to the town and didn't know where we were going so were driving slow, and all we got were people beeping their horns at us. Don't they realise that it makes us nervous and panicky which could lead to an accident?
"Come on, Scunthorpe, don't be so impatient as you don't know who is driving in front of you. Have they ever been to a town where they didn't have a clue where they were going? I got upset because I'm 67 and I don't need this hassle."
Lesley confessed that it was not just on the roads where she encountered unfriendly locals. She said that, during her latest trip to Scunthorpe, she also found people to be "rude" in other setting such as supermarkets. Lesley
