Plod should park a vehicle in Brading and catch all the motorists
who break the law every day by turning into the NO Right turn road.
Wow what a disaster is that all you have to worry about.
Who cares what goes on in Brading it’s a pit.
Well it is a concern because there are so many near misses in Brading, which is a lovely village.
There is NO Law and Order on the Island, hence no one gives a
Fcuk about Road signs and rules.
Plod couldn’t catch a cold thesedays
Drug dealers picking their kids up from school, don’t bother with road signs…
the only pit in brading is coming from your mouth grow up you cant afford to live here your not the upper class
And all the morons that turn right out of Mc Donald’s in Ryde despite there being a massive no right turn sign and it clearly being dangerous. And it takes longer to turn right than going left and around the round about. Mind numbing stupidity.
There’s enough evidence that island drivers do for an entire conference, this island is fully occupied by total idiots….
That sign is not enforceable as if you notice it’s smaller than a proper legal road sign. And that’s not just my take on it, I queried it with a police officer and they confirmed as such!
Seen qué back through carpark to church because of selfish driver who wouldn’t turn left. Several drivers got out and spoke to driver and pointed out sign, but she didn’t care. Might not be enforcable but common sense.
Should have gone too specsavers….
The only good thing about Brading is you can get to somewhere (marginally) nicer like Perowne Way through it
Spoken by a resident of the salubrious Oak Vale.
More like known..to carry on as usual..
This is why we can’t get the chavs to work for a living, they get benefits and money for dealing in drugs….
Chavs? I do believe we have zipped absurdly fast thru the 90’s…by about 20 years I know it takes a while for slang names to catch on on The Island but not that much time”Happy Christmas” “
What are they called these days?
Why not target the people who are bringing it over on the ferries. If I was a drug dealer I’d pay a couple of pensioners to bring it back in the boot of their car. There should be the same police presence at ferry terminals as there is in airports. British Transport Police allow the transfer of drugs to take place unhindered.
Or getting it off the beach lol
