Re: Traffic Queue Jumpers
Drivers who don’t put their lights on these dismal early mornings or late afternoon, do they think that they’re wasting electricity? Very dodgy if you’re parked and waiting to pull out, difficult to spot an approaching dark vehicle without lights on in your wing mirror.

Ford Focus drivers looking down at people, yeah fair enough they've got a hell of a machine but the air of superiority is a bit wearing

How am I supposed to indicate when I've got one hand on the wheel and my phone in the other?

See that way too often.
Also, people stopping at roundabouts when it’s clear. Listen Doris if me and the 2 cars behind me can see it’s clear to go (it’s midday and no ****ers in the road) it’s absolutely fine to keep on driving.. thank **** I always keep a safe distance :hehe:

Take your one hand off the wheel

Re: Traffic Queue Jumpers
People who pull out at a junction because 90% of traffic turn into where they are coming from.
Happens near my house at least once a month where although prepared to do so, I have to brake forcefully (would be emergency stop if I didn't predict it everytime) to avoid going into the side of someone. Can see them look left, right, straight at me and decide I'm going left with the thoroughfare as opposed to straight on into the housing estate.
Then happens when I'm coming out of the street where they just sometimes don't look left at all and I have to avoid hitting the other side of them. Always look and process what you see folks, all guilty of it from time to time I guess.

I do that too.

Similar type of thing happens driving along Willowbrook Drive towards Kwik Save/Shamrat and cars pulling out from Willowdene Way as people assume you’re going to turn left there as nigh on everyone else does.

If you're saying the main road goes left and you want to go straight on into a side road then they are right and you are wrong. You should indicate right.!

I'm going straight on.
The road carries straight on, to other streets and eventually you can't go further, so technically a side road but the main road merges into it and to carry on with the thoroughfare you have to indicate left and actually turn into it as opposed to it being a bend.
It's a giveaway junction so they shouldn't be pulling out in front of me given they only have to give way to traffic going to or from where I'm going.
You wouldn't indicate right there would you? Genuinely interested, for me it's just the usual give way junction you see everywhere, I don't indicate right on any others when I'm carrying straight on either.

I knew it would be by there! Exactly where I pictured from your message.

Re: Traffic Queue Jumpers
People who queue needlessly in traffic then get annoyed when someone goes up the empty lane are like football teams that piss about passing the ball round in midfield instead of whacking it up the field and going route one to promotion.

My account must have been hacked, I never use this phrase, it's a kiddy word used for my City, like the kids who say chippy alley.

Probably my Sisters.
However what makes a bad driver a bad driver is that they don’t know they’re a bad driver.
If they did I would assume they’d rectify their shortcomings.
