    Yes, that's where you said you'd leave it at that, then changed your mind.

    Is that Green as in hulk or envy?:D

    I said you do it your way ,I'll do it mine but as you seem to be unable to accept that I will carry on.

    Believe me I hear nothing here to make anyone in the least bit envious you pompous prat. I'll be back later when you post again;)


    Just to add, in your 1st post in this thread you took a swipe at OLD drivers?, you again labelled them ditherers. You forgot to mention that these folks have driven for years and survived the onslaughts of self opinionatated numpties like like you, the ones that die in crappy overtaking manouevers, and the ones that by some mischance get away with it. Where does your ego come from? Only your own view of your petty driving life? again you are a prat.....
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed

    That is accepted and it really doesn't matter to me how you drive because I accept that as one of the hazards of driving which is why I look what's going on. Of course you also said you'd "leave it at that" (#141), changed your mind (#150) and then proceeded to ignore any questions that appeared too tough to respond to. In #136 you said "You carry on not signalling" Where have I said I don't signal?

    Believe me I hear nothing here to make anyone in the least bit envious you pompous prat. I'll be back later when you post again;)
    I don't want or need people to be envious thank you. I'm also secure enough with my opinions to respond to what is posted without the need to get personal which is always the case when an adequate response can't be complied.

    It wasn't an onslaught, just legitimate points you have yet to acknowledge or respond to, even when you raised the points first. (If you'd like me to highlight those I will but would hate to appear condecending as you did say you could read:confused:. Hint look for the question marks. I realise this may be frustrating to you, having missed something because you have to look again or rely on the other person to look for you, or just ignore it and hope it's dismissed. Do you resort to abuse on the road when you have made ill informed assumptions?

    Just to add, in your 1st post in this thread you took a swipe at OLD drivers?, you again labelled them ditherers.
    The "swipe" is based on my observations and I am happy they are valid in the same way you consider your comments about BMW drivers (which I agree) valid without any data to support it. I'll let you read it again to see what I really said and the context. I'm sure you spotted the OP conceded he/she was old.

    You forgot to mention that these folks have driven for years and survived the onslaughts of self opinionatated numpties like like you, the ones that die in crappy overtaking manouevers, and the ones that by some mischance get away with it. Where does your ego come from? Only your own view of your petty driving life? again you are a prat.....
    Driving for years doesn't necessarily make you a good driver.
    :naughty: Abuse does not validate your opinion of me now does it. I'm don't know why you feel that someone who drives within the highway code has an ego? Or where I have said anything about crappy overtaking manouevers?

    I'm sure this thread will be wrapped up soon when you have conceded the points by ignoring them or have another little rant.

    You really do seem to have a problem with "old" drivers don't you. I thought with your amazing powers of observation you would just accept them as standard hazards and get on with it.:confused:


    I long since stopped replying to your individual points as you haven't made any, they are just rambling, pedantic assassination atempts at any group of motorists you asume are sub standrd to you. Just what is your is your problem with older drivers, check out your 1st post on this topic and you'll see why I take offence at your attitude.

    Are you in favour of involuntary euthanasia??

    I can concede nothing to someone with such self opinionated views of the quality of their own driving, and hence will be going away no time soon Mr Perfect Driver.:p


    Perhaps you need to go back and read all your posts, they all are pointed at me and question my driving ability whilst praising your own?

    You are unbelievable, same time tomorrow? :rolleyes:

    I assume that everyone on the road is trying to kill me (I ride motorbikes), therefore it's up to me to be the most observant person on the road, and I don't rely on trivialities like indicators. I don't believe them until they actually turn

    You put the old driver hat on and found it fits very nicely along with all my observations. When you read those observations and find they are correct your only retort is abuse which really compounds the fact you are indeed crap driver. Don't worry, you need to vent your anger before you can acknowledge the facts and I'll look forward to another beating with your handbag tomorrow.

    I thought with your amazing powers of observation you would just accept them as standard hazards and get on with it.:confused:
    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    Like I said before you can't read and all you have proved here is just how inept you are. My amazing powers of observation and ability to read and present the facts do indeed show I have accepted them as hazards in the very last post - you know post #153 - in fact it was the very first sentence. No really, look here, I obviously have to bring to your attention to something so VERY obvious...here it is....

    You don't reply because you cannot argue or debate with the truth. Even when posts are numbered to point you in the right direction you fail to see or read. Associate that with driving and it becomes clear why you feel the need to be defensive, abusive and ignore what's presented. You have demonstrated that the group of drivers you represent cannot read or observe, hardly a good start when left in charge of a car.

    Are you in favour of involuntary euthanasia??
    I'd have to consider the pro's and cons but you are presenting a very good case for it here. Do you believe driving with senile dementure is acceptable?

    I can concede nothing to someone with such self opinionated views of the quality of their own driving, and hence will be going away no time soon Mr Perfect Driver.:p
    You don't have to like me to respond to a valid point and of course a response could go some way to negate the point. The fact you choose to, or are unable to respond means they are conceded - bit like a blank exam paper - nil points.

    Perhaps you need to go back and read all your posts, they all are pointed at me and question my driving ability whilst praising your own?

    You are unbelievable, same time tomorrow? :rolleyes:
    No, I know what I have posted because I can read and make no apologies for being literate. Like I said, you picked up the "old" cap and didn't like it when you realised it fit so well. My posts are responding to your points so they will be aimed at you wont they:confused:. I know you can't grasp this principle because you can't read (sure you'll flame me for this but proved it in this post alone:D).

    The Highway Code says signal left on approach if turning left, signal right on approach if turning right, no signal on approach if going straight on but signal left after the exit before the one you are going to take.

    This is my understanding (and what I do). Nice to see that it's backed up somewhere

    Do what you do and you will definately fail a standard driving test.

    I did what's been suggested (that I quoted above) and PASSED my driving test.

    I read as far as page three before I got bored so sorry if this has already come up.

    You can't turn right off a roundabout, only increments of left (1st left, 2nd left, etc). It's not a T-junction, nor crossroads, it's a circular straight piece of road.
  • I always go with what my dad told me when i started driving- 'always indicate even if there there is no cars around ,you want dont get in to bad habits'

    I indicate when i come out my drive , even tho theres never any cars:o:rotfl:
