Car driving standards

[Grassland Blue]

excellent. Then why isn't the motorway just one long line of traffic in the inside lane going at 70?

Trucks are restricted to 60 for a start.

I don't understand people not indicating especially when it takes barely any effort to use indicators.

Is it an arrogance thing? Is it meant to be "cool"? In reality, you look like a f*ckwit.

I think so yeah. Maybe they think you should know what their next move is? Like the ones who pull out then indicate. Almost like a game to them isn't it.

I live out in the wilds of the Shropshire countryside & to be honest I dont find the driving to bad round here, Obviously a lot quieter than the towns & citys but considering some of the lanes are so narrow, its not to bad,
the main problem is when you get a huge tractor with a huge trailer nearly taking you out & you look up to cab & there is what looks like a 14 year old kid driving the thing while looking at his mobile phone!

Update:

My daughter is out of ICU and onto HDU.
She has 2 breaks in her pelvis, ruptured spleen, air under her lung and had a blood transfusion.

She is stable but in so much pain when the morphine wares off.

It is going to a long recovery for her both physically and mentally.

I keep having breakdowns thinking about the whole event and I know this will haunt me forever.

Thanks for the good wishes

Wishing you and your family all the best, apologies I have only just seen your post. Puts our stupid little rants into perspective.

Hope they throw the book at the subhuman piece of shit that did this, but that's for another time. The main thing is your daughter is still here, and hope she makes a strong recovery.

I'm currently sat in Sheffield childrens hospital intensive care unit with my daughter who was hit last night.

Redirect Notice

I'm absolutely heartbroken as to that I seen when I got to the site....bodies everywhere and my daughter unconscious face down being helped by locals.

All the people were making there way back into the village after the fair had shut and then hit.

Can't get that image out of my head it's killing me.

Hope she's OK blue.
My daughter had been to the carnival and told what had happen.
What a shit world this is

 

[Betterdeedthan red]

Thats truly awful news Ashy,
I hope your daughter is on her way to recovery.

Just seen your update:
So glad she is out of intensive care. Good luck to you all in her recovery.

The fucking twat who did is it complaining on Facebook about his care in hospital.
The fucking fat twat.
Best thing that can happen to him is get sent down.

Wish her a speedy recovery. Be strong for her mate she needs her dad to be a pillar of strength now.
Hope whoever did it gets the book thrown at them.

Driving standards are in marked decline. Too many cars, too many performance cars on unsuitable urban roads, too many selfish aggressive twats.
Everyday some twat just drives right into my side of the road so they can pass parked cars on their side. The days of giving way to oncoming cars is a thing of the past.

Once got a lift into Paris off a French cavalry officer. Flew down the hill and onto the roundabout at champs elysee without slowing down then tore round it before taking a sharp turn and going down a ramp that went underground to the stables. Was in a car and not on a horse..

I don't know whether it's urban myth or not, but I once heard that motor insurance didn't apply going round the Arc de Triomphe!

 

[Tuearts right boot]

You got a name mate?

...a visit from a concerned charitable organisation ??

Only this afternoon, I was doing 29-32ish down a 30 road and some **** who was miles behind me at one point must have been doing well over 40 and was then right up my arse trying to get me to speed up.

I didn’t.

We got to the lights and he was slamming his hands on his steering wheel and shouting at me because we’d not made the lights before they turned red. I just smirked at him.

If you’re in a rush, leave earlier you lazy ****. If you like driving fast, go and book a track day somewhere you reckless ****. I’m sticking around the speed limit, so get fucked you thick ****.

Chance would be a fine thing here. Been stuck on M6 not moving for 2.5 hrs now!

Then set off really slow .....or stay until they change to red again.

Blast out Sham 69 so you can't hear them.

Watch them combust.

I really need to do this.

The only time I've been caught off guard was years ago in Halifax, I didn't really know the town. I've waited to turn right at a crossroads and got over while my light is still on green. A lad from the left has then driven at speed up behind me blaring the horn for a good 10 seconds. Basically making out I've jumped the lights which on my life I was nowhere close to doing. So I gesticulated as if to say "what are you beeping at?". Next set of lights dickhead pulls into the lane next to me, gets out the car and comes up to my passenger window, unbrushed teeth everywhere shouting. It was an old car without electric windows so I leant over to try and wind the window down. I was like what's up mate, I've done nothing wrong. Little fucker threw a dig at the still closed window (didn't break it) then ran back in his car and drove off. By this point there was 2 cars between us and he shot off down a street to the left, I looked for him for about 10 mins but no sign. Probably a good thing cos the sad **** had a son of about 8yo in the car with him. I was up for knocking the **** out and taking his keys and all his belongings after that. Anybody who gets out of a car like that and throws a cheap shot deserves levelling, fucking great role model to that kid too.

What the fucks going on at roundabouts these days? Absolute fuckin amoebas. No indication, stay in the near side lane(for the whole roundabout sometimes)until your turning then indicate the wrong fucking way, because the contour of the road lurches that way. Who the fuck is teaching these pillocks to drive ? Then there's the ones who stay in the 3rd lane at 50mph and in doing so, stopping the traffic flow. It's definitely got worse the last few years.
