cars up your arse !!!

[Pigeonho]

Regarding the 70 mph speed limit on motorways and dual-carriage de-restricted roads:
It doesn't matter what decade the Highway Code dates from. The speed limit is there for a reason. Yes, today's cars are capable of speeds well in excess of 70 mph, but this doesn't mean that we should all be forced to drive that fast.

Think for one second about the amount of cars on the roads today, compared with the sixties. There are now so many vehicles on Britain's roads that the speed limit ought to be decreased, not increased. If all Britain's speed limit signs were suddenly read in kilometres, rather than miles per hour, there would be far less deaths from road traffic accidents. People would just have to allow slightly more time for their journeys.

Which brings me on to tailgating. It's bl**dy scary to have some maniac right up your boot, but you can't just pull over because everyone else in the inner lane is also driving nose-to-tail. And what about the inside lane? Oh, no, that's virtually empty, apart from the odd lorry here and there.

How many drivers actually use the overtaking lanes for overtaking? Very few. The vehicle-to-lane ratio has been completely reversed. And what does tailgating result in? Concertina-style braking and accelerating. One driver touches the brakes and the following drivers do so, too. Who actually keeps moving at a constant rate? Yep, it's our old pals in the inside lane, mooching along at something approaching the speed limit.

Grr. More people should take Advanced Driving lessons. You soon find out that driving much faster than the speed limit does not get you there much, if any, quicker. Drive faster, you spend more time braking, too. Where are the BM mathematicians to prove it?

Its not that the cars are capable of going much faster than in the 60's, its the fact the cars themselves are much, much safer. Its a law which is so out of date its not even funny. I drive at a steady 80-85 mph when on a nice long journey on the m/way. Its much safer to drive at that speed in my opinion.

Like someone once wisely pointed out - put a big metal spike in the middle of the steering wheel, pointed at the driver, and everyone's driving habits would change for the better.

Cars are much safer than in the sixties? For the person or people inside, maybe, but there's only so much that airbags can protect. Only takes one vehicle to ride over the central reservation, and the results don't bear thinking about. Collective collision speed of at least 160 mph? Think about it. One car to spin round on the motorway, causing a nearby lorry to jacknife? There wouldn't be much left.

I don't think the crash tests are based on the worst accidents, just standard nose-to-tail. And if you want to see the results of those kind of accidents, just go and visit any German scrapyard.

People think they're immune in their ivory towers, once they're inside their cars. Scary.

 

[stony]

you really think your a lot older than me dont you, well sunshine, i have a class one licence a CPC national , and have driven most forms of transport , including a great big fuck off Challenger tank.

Then you should know better than to act like a 17 year old with his cock on fire

stop the Damocles copy and paste bullshit.

You're not the boss of my cut n paste

read my original post, i asked a question ??

I did read it, you sound like a dick.

now then , all i did, and ill say this very sloooooooooooowly

Now you sound like a retarded dick..

i was minding my own business , doing baout 80, the sun was shining, the road was clear, now this cock comes from nowhere right up my arse, if i saw him approaching, i would have puuled over and let him by.
but my whole point is he raced right up my arse aggresivley.
now some people might react differently in that circumstance, but i thought " you know what ive had a shitty day ill just show this twat hes not bullying me into the slow lane"

and you reacted just as aggressively, like a dick in fact.

now again, if any one has NOT done this ill call am a liar !!

You're right I have done it, when I was about 17 and I acted like a dick.

its not rocket science.

No it's lane hogging with your thumb up your arse and acting like a dick.

now cut and paste this one ffs !!

np

If the road was clear why are you driving in the outside lane? Sorry but it sounds like you are in the wrong. Once you get a decent car you wont need to prove to everyone that its the fastestest.

I'm just glad that Corky and Stony are sitting at their computers, right now, rather than behind the wheel of a car. Hate to think what might happen if they met on the road! :-)

 

[Shadz69]

If everyone spent a couple of months in a tow truck the roads would be much safer,I drove one for a couple of years totally changed the way I drive.
You collect enough wrecks you will want to stay as safe as you can on the roads.You see some scary shit and hear some horror stories.

LOL!!

 

[stonerblue]

Not to mention illegal. I hate boy racers in their shit Astras.

whats your problem ??

are you saying you never go over 70 miles per hour ???
the highway code rules are from the 60,s , the stopping distances are prehistoric?

did i say i was racing, i merely stated some twat was right up my jacksie.
ffs sake there are some cnuts on this forum , all high and mighty like,
get off your fucking health and safety podiums and join the real world.
i challenge anyone here to deny they have not had some twat right up there arse on the motor way.
i was just saying i had the horse power to make em look silly.

jeez

Jeez indeed.

What's wrong with simply moving over and letting the car behind pass you? Or would that be too embarassing for you, what with you having a souped-up motor an' all.
After you'd put your foot down what did you do. Keep one eye in the rear view mirror incase the other car had the cheek to try and overtake you further down the road?

nothing wrong with moving over, but i didnt feel like it, is that ok with you?

It's ok with me as long as your aggressive driving at high speed doesn't affect me. Unfortunately, if you crash, there's a damn good chance you'll hit someone completely unconnected with your little race and at those speeds probably do them serious injury.

Put a journey of, say, 15 miles into Sat Nav, see what the estimated time is to reach destination. This is set by maximum speed limits. Then drive journey 20MPH faster than allowed and see how much time you save. One or two minutes perhaps. Is it really worth it?

I see drivers cutting in and out of traffic all the time whilst I plod on in the correct lane. Invariably I catch them up either at a roundabout or traffic lights and my blood pressure if fine and they're a coiled spring.

 

[Big G]

No, because I dont drive like a lemon and slow enough for that to happen,
Car is for shopping, commuting and lugging the MTB about.
Bike is for men with massive spuds and blowing away 282bhp motors that people think are fast ;)

whoa!! you are the man. you get to drive like a dick on the motorway showing us car drivers how brave you are darting in and out and showing no regard for rules at all. you drive like this because you are confidant cars will back off because somebody has to display some common sense. the thing is that if a car driver took you on, there would be a likely outcome. one clip of your back wheel and you come off. you would be seriously injured at best. the driver of the car would likely be the one seen as responsible and would have to live with it, but never mind, at least you get a buzz off putting us lemons in our place. you are my hero.

Judging your inane drivel its nice to know that you probably have not seen me on the road, shame I cant find satisfaction in being a hero to a lemon though.

probably haven't seen you no. seen your type though. your own phrase "bike is for men with massive spuds" is hilarious for both it's structure and it's claim. like the fuckwits who claim "you know what i'm like, i'm mad me".

It's because you like the thrill he brought into your life ;o)

My type??? My type is the type that actually hate using the roads in the UK as they are shite quality, too busy and being fair, over crowded with goons, something that you see more when you are on a bike than in a car.

 

[jayblue]

have you ever had a car up your arse on the motorway and either pulled over meekly and let them past or put your foot down and fucked em off.

now i have a recently new car vxr astra remapped to 282 bhp and enjoyed sticking my fingers up at some cnut right up my jacksie on the m62 in his ford focus st.

needless to say he was left embarrased !!

im not a boy racer but its nice to have power when you need it !

ive got a 911 turbo and i would have made you look very silly

 

[lee-mcfc]

wow how did i miss this funny convo :)

just read all the pages ha

 

[bluemoonchick]

LMAO at this thread!!! Poor corky is getting a right bashing. I'm glad he said the car up his arse was a Focus otherwise i would have been worried it was me!

I have to admit despite being a 30 year old chick, i do drive like a 17 year old boy racer. I cant help it - i like it. I drive at 80-90mph on motorways but only because i know my car, and i know it brakes pretty bloody quick if required. I drive up peoples arses, i get road rage at idiots dodging lanes or going 50mph. I never buckle under pressure when someones up my arse - instead i brake at the last minute until they back off. However, i always respect better cars, anything like a 911, ferrari, mg, aston, etc and i will move over to let it pass. Last week i moved over for a dodge viper, gorgeous thing like that doesnt deserve to be stuck up my arse going 80mph so i moved to let him pass and he shot off like a bat out of hell. i was very jealous.

ok so i drive like a dick but i've never had a crash in 4 years of driving and have a clean licence. Plus since doing a commute from Oldham to Preston for the last 6 months i've since much worse, much more dangerous driving than what i do.<br /><br />-- Sun May 16, 2010 5:09 pm --<br /><br />

Wow...

oh, i'm not supposed to want this car am i lol

right , to all the speed police on here and fucking do gooders.


what part of "cruising on the motorway minding me own business " do you lot not understand ?

what part of " this cock in a focus ST came right up my bumper out of nowwhere" do you not understand"

ffs sake , this has turned into a was fucking weaving in and out of traffic and speeding and driving aggrssivley "??

threads grow into monsters sometimes, i suggest people read back the original post.

my whole post was to ask the question, " have you ever let anyone bully you off the road or have you shown them a clean pair of heels"

simple inncocent question.

in fact ill read my own post back because judging by some of the replies i must have posted somewhere

" i love to run kids over ,hate blacks and the tories are gay "

christ everyone calm down !

Jeremy Clarkson loving racist.
