Welcome To The Jungle Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 well the fact it was a small van meant I had to hit the brake By that I meant it is something a high accelerating vehicle can do quite safely. A small van however... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted November 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 I actually agree with Dollymarie - for the first time ever. Fog lights are for fog - i.e. 100m viz or less. Oh yes:- TURN THE B******DS OFF WHEN THE FOG HAS GONE. TFR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome To The Jungle Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Pedestrians crossing the road when traffic is stationary but I'm filtering by push or motorbike. Countless pedestrians who don't look because they think nothing is moving have nearly been hit by me. Never mind, survival of the fittest and all that.

Eddie Hitler Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 A third vote for fog lights turned on when it's dark but there's not a trace of fog. Are they just showing off that they have them or something? Stop dazzling other drivers you selfish gits. Police do occasionally pull them over, it should be a routine stop then check everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dollymarie Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Another one related to lights. The amount of cars i've seen since it's got darker with defective headlights, i.e. bulbs gone, or partly gone. Do drivers not notice? Cyclists with no lights on as well. I've nearly mown down a couple due to not being able to see them until i'm nearly on top of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

... Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 People who think you have main beam on at night, dazzling them, when you are just cresting a hill. The dull b******ds then dazzle you as some form of bizarre punishment, by putting their own lights on full beam. They are called 'hills', morons.

Dollymarie Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 People who aren't ready to go at traffic lights when they go green, like what did you think was going to happen, stop faffing! People who when there are two or more lanes at a set of traffic lights, if one car in a lane doesn't pull away, the car in the lane next to it hesitates too. JUST BLOODY GO!

Portland Bill Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 It shortens the queue. All you need to do is filter in alternately. People who straddle two lanes to stop you driving down an empty carriageway just because i filters into one later do my 'kin head in.. Ignorant *******. It doesn't shorten the queue ( how do you work that one out!) it just means the people in the queue have to wait longer . This,while the ignorant ***** who think they are better than everyone else try and force there way to the front of the queue. I won't fn let you in!!

Gazred Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Whoever it is that co-ordinates the recycling/bin trucks to do their collections during morning rush hour. Just don't understand it, surely its easier for them and everyone else if they started the rounds after 9am when there is a massive downturn in road traffic. Some mornings I have to get past 3 or 4 of these on the way into work - all they end up doing is causing congestion during the busiest period on the roads.

Barrs Court Red Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Yeah guilty of that since my car came back from the garage.....Didn't really clock why people were occasionally flashing me untill someone did it on the M5 the other evening. He decided to let me know by putting on his full beams when I over took. I responded with a broadside of fog lights for the 30 seconds his slow ass was within range. When I got home I noticed that rather than 0 being the lowest level, it was actually the highest. What sort of backward engineering is that? I did feel bad, my commute takes me down all sorts of dark country lanes, and I have noticed someone actually pull over to let me past. I just assumed they were being considerate at the time, but obviously now I know it's because they couldn't cope with me burning their retinas every time they looked in their mirrors.

Talk Of The Town Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Most bus lanes have designated times when you can't use them. They have a sign saying bus lane 8-10 a.m - 4-6.30pm. This means any other time you can use them. The one on the bath rd opposite the Low-decker pub is laughable, many motorists either don't understand bus lane laws or they're frightened to death to use them. The amount of motorists that cut in right at the end to turn left onto Kensington park rd is hideous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Rollason Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 actually saw some road rage yesterday for the first time in 28yrs of driving!

Yep, saw similar on the A30 in Cornwall. Bloke (BMW of course) actually picked up some gravel from the verge and threw it at the 'blocking' car. Then all hell broke loose. Ain't difficult for traffic engineers to sort. Feed both lanes with alternate arrows into a 'central' lane with a few advance signs of 'lanes merging ahead'. Simples. Far more interested in sticking road humps everywhere though to find solutions to things that drivers think are important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They chose to be sat in traffic whilst I drive past and indicate to turn left into Kensington and it's like I am in the wrong. Learn the rules!

Lrrr Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Got honked at today, a one way road with 2 lanes, I'm pulling into the road from right hand lane side and car opposite me also pulling in. I pull into lane nearest to me and when in lane start to indicate left to go in left lane, car honks me as he wants to be in right hand lane and has gone straight across the left lane to get there moving out into the road after I did, rather than pull into the left hand lane then move into the right hand lane when safe.

Dollymarie Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Peoples spatial awareness! I will admittedly say that this is mostly women guilty of this (however, my spatial awareness is bloody good) People who can't judge if a gap is big enough for them to fit through. YOU COULD GET A RUDDY BUS THROUGH THERE SO YOUR CAR WILL FIT JUST FINE, STOP HOLDING UP THE TRAFFIC. Filter lanes to turn, when they don't get themselves over into the filter bit, and leave one side of the car hanging over into the lane where cars are going straight on, again HOLDING UP THE TRAFFIC. Car park spaces, IF YOU LEARNT TO PARK PROPERLY YOU'D CLEARLY SEE THAT YOUR CAR WILL FIT JUST FINE IN THERE, NOW GET ON WITH IT. My mum is a prime example of this, I have no idea after over 40 years of driving, how she is unable to park correctly! And breathe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
