OdiousSlob | Twts who don't indicate when turning and other driving related wnkerisms. | 19-04-2010 @ 12:15 | |
Bell end Member 1271, 432 posts | Post Edited: 19.04.2010 @ 12:17 PM by OdiousSlob Just what is it with the apparently accepted practice of not bothering to indicate these days? It used to be confined mostly to BMW drivers but nowadays hardly anyone bothers indicating any more.Also - why is it that people who are on a busy road like to slow down to a complete halt to allow people who are sat GIVING WAY out of side roads? Do these people not realise that by 'helping' a person onto the main road, they are having the opposite effect for lots more people behind them, and are seriously disrupting the flow of traffic? Once again this seems to be widespread behaviour these days!! Anyone else agree that these people should be forced to drink bleach? | ||

Maybe these people are courteous to others. Would you feel the same if you were the one sat at the junction with every f**ker driving past and no-one letting you out? | ||

[Advanced driving hat on] Slowing down and stopping free flowing traffic to allow traffic from a side road to merge is actually dangerous. This is different to doing the same thing in slow moving / queuing traffic of course, where it is simply being courteous. [/Advanced driving hat on] Macca | ||

They are stopped at a give way point. They are supposed to wait until the road is clear!! | ||

Would you feel the same if you were the one sat at the junction with every f**ker driving past and no-one letting you out? They are not being very courteous to the people behind them are they? Yes I would feel the same if I was sat at a junction as I follow the highway code and am happy to wait until the road is clear. I take it you're a hesitant/crap/female driver? | ||

My opinions have run their course Member 694, 3112 posts | if the traffic is slow moving then whats the problem, if i am crawling at 5-10 mph i will always let a car out. it does get annoying if people take the piss and let 10 cars out, or let people push in front of them all the time | ||

JEDWARD Member 454, 980 posts SQ 225, BP 170, DL 275670.0 kgs @ 106kgs UnEq | I'm with you Richards, I'm guilty of letting people out, but, I'll flash to let someone out but if they don't see it I'm not going to come to a stop. I have to turn off a side junction onto the busy A303 when coming home frm work, If people didn't let me out, I'd be sat there until 10pm! Why is that if your walking into a shop you'll have some chap open the door for you, yet stick that some person behind a wheel of a car, they become this double 'ard barstard who can't even manage a thank you wave. | ||

Bell end Member 1271, 432 posts | I'm not talking about slow moving traffic here. I'm talking about almost slamming on and stopping full-flowing traffic so that some cabbage gets a 'fuzzy feeling' inside and feels that he's done a good deed for the day. It's dangerous and these people should get 3 points at least for doing it. | ||

please use accurate taxonomy in our communication Member 871, 469 posts SQ 240, BP 137.5, DL 262.5640.0 kgs @ 89kgs Eq | Agree completely with issue of indicating. A greater problem nowadays is selective colour-blindness in the vicinity of traffic lights. I regularly see people bombing lights 2-3 seconds after they have turned red. I find selfishness irksome, but this kind of life-endangering idiocy can drive me into an apoplectic rage (and yes, I do sound my horn - not out of ire, but to warn others of the insanity being perpetrated). | ||
