in Motoring
Ok, this is not a disscussion forum/area.
But many do take a punt, so so shall I.
Why oh why can't drivers modify their driving/attitude/aggressiveness to suit road conditions?????????????????
We all know rush hour conditions when everyone needs to and is expected to tuck into the 1st available minigap.
So why?, on a sunny monday afternoon when I'm doing 60+:eek: down a lonely country road does some "motorist" decide it's ok to pull out of a side road when I'm 50 yds away?
Why?, when in light traffic, and I'm 30 yds and last behind the stream of traffic does the same motorist pull out from the tee junction in front of me?, when if he had waited 5 secs I would have been gone and he would'nt have wondered why all he could see was my lights up his !!!!.
Why does the same motorist still drive at 75 down the motorway in thick fog or heavy rain, when you can't see him/her because no lights are displayed, or because they are totally lost in a sea of spray that no one can see through?
Why do so few motorists realise that you have the right of way on your side of the road under normal conditions?, or do they really think we should all drive off the road, up on the pavement, or down the ditch to avoid a collision??
Rant over for now:mad::mad::A

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

It's the me me me society. People don't think about the effects of their selfish behaviour because society has conditioned them to believe in they are right in whatever they do, that they have rights and their rights supercede everyone elses. And then when someone whacks them in a road rage attack.... they still see that they've done no wrong and bleat about the violation of their rights.The man without a signature.0

Stop following this driver, they will get a restraining order against you.0

I hate the drivers who think because it's 'their' side of the road, and I'm overtaking parked cars, I've gone past 15, they've gone past one.... That I should reverse!cyclonebri1 wrote: »Why do so few motorists realise that you have the right of way on your side of the road under normal conditions?, or do they really think we should all drive off the road, up on the pavement, or down the ditch to avoid a collision??

Depends on whether or not you can see me coming 2 miles away, and think you can still beat me.
Head on chicken is my favourite game, and I even have a spare door mirror glass in the glove locker just in case we nearly fit.0 -

That obviously depends on whether you saw the on coming vehicles before you decided to over take the parked cars though doesn't it.
Whilst i agree with you that it's perfectly natural to perform the manouvere you stated, you will however get motorists who will just drive at you because they "just can"
I always drive with consideration as getting angry behind the wheel does actually nothing and just infuriates you so why bother. Calm and collected means safer driving and more attention being paid to the road
God i'm 28 and sound like i drive like im 78 lol !!If Adam and Eve were created first

I'd say if I've gone past 15, and you just the 1, it's incredibly unlikely I would have seen! Also I don't have to 'beat' you!Depends on whether or not you can see me coming 2 miles away, and think you can still beat me.

You need to stop stalking that guy, or you'll end up with a record
BTW the last guy was me last night. It was dark -country road- and there was a dip in the road and then suddenly I realised the road ahead with on-comers was seriously narrower ahead. I braked hard & must have annoyed the other guy. If there was a hazard sign I didn't see it. Sorry 'bout that, I didn't mean it honest.0
