    Because obviously if first gear doesn't work, my brakes must be shot too..... Excellent logic :rotfl:
    From what I've seen of your videos, you don't bother with braking until the very last second - even when the car in front has had it's brake lights illuminated for more than long enough for you to react and slow to the same speed.

    You then jump on the horn button because you've been delayed for all of a second or two, and then wonder why people give you the middle finger.

    One of these days you'll meet someone who won't be happy with just giving you the finger, let's hope for your sake they observe queensbury rules when you do meet them.

    Not really, I never said it was a problem, and never drove anything other than normally.
    I certainly never expected other drivers to adjust their driving for me either.
    You said you couldn't drive normally, and even burnt your clutch pulling off, so didn't like to stop, and other drivers should cope with that.

    I thought your arguement was you couldn't use your brakes as you couldn't pull off again, so you had to charge through everything without slowing?
    Are your brakes faulty too?

    Must have faulty brake lights then, they seem to come on before I apparently touch the brake pedal.



    How many are there of you now? and you still can't put together a logical and valid argument...... :rotfl:


    And can I just say.... All those who have PM'd me RE: this thread, appreciated and yes I should probably let them turn on each other like a pack of wild dogs. However it staves off the boredom ;)

    To think I spent good money to see John Bishop - this thread is classic.

    That cat was good value too.

    I've watched the videos and its no wonder you have so many near misses with an awful driving style like that, any idiot can speed around like a loon then brake heavily when someone dares to get in the way.

    Inappropriate use of horn
    Road rage
    Speeding
    Overtaking a car that had obviously stopped to give way (idiotic)

    It won't be long before the police examine your footage to find out why you crashed your car, or to find out who put a hammer through your face.

    Better sort your driving out - and your car. (Before it costs you your face).

    Agree with you 100% as does everyone else apart from his invisble friends, I had one called Harvey once, but I think the hammer bit is a bit harsh - there is nowt on telly and it's keeping us amused

    But when mine plays up, I shouldn't use the car at all.

    A word springs to mind........................ Hypocrites.


    The difference is.....you use that fault as an excuse to avoid certain sensible courses of action.


    It's a bit like saying ''I exceeded the speed limit in order to overtake quickly, before I hit that oncoming bus.....officer''...................

    Hypocrisy?

    No, I think not.


    But I do detect symptoms of the way many modern drivers think....
    No, I don't think all other drivers are idiots......but some are determined to change my mind.......
