    Who on here really thinks bigjl have ever actually driven anything with blue lights on?
    He's really starting to sound more and more like he hangs around outside the ambulance bays, earwigging the paramedics while he drops off the out patients.
    (specially when the "younger generation" are to blame for everything apparently, remember, "it wasn't like that in our day")

    edit - to answer the op though, if in doubt, do nothing.

    Don't go left, don't go right. If you do what you're doing, you're predictable. even if you come to a stop in the middle of the road. May not be the best, but it's not you that's trained to drive, they are, they can sort it out.

    So this is your new tactic is it mikey?

    Isn't the number of times you have been proved wrong enough if a lesson.

    You do realise that "Woody" went very, very quiet when I pointed out that I reckoned he was a plastic policeman, or Community Suport Officer for those that aren't job.

    You really do have some serious jealousy issues going on.

    Can't comment on Woody, he seems ok, but I think we've noticed how quiet you've been, and now you're back with the jealousy issue.
    Seems far more likely you're jealous of the real parmedics out there.

    Do you mean just like you have over the definition of a dual carriageway.

    OP If the road was empty there wasnt any need to be in the right hand lane so early and as you were, you should have been indicating right. Any sort of indication would have helped the police car in judging what you were going to do next


    I will again refer you back to the OP's original post.

    Now, reread it and takes some notes if you like, better still draw a diagram, you can do that can't you?

    Maybe not as there isn't a keyboard involved.

    Never mind, just ask an adult they will help you.

    Now after you have reread the original post and you will see that by the minimal information given by the OP it does seem obvious to me that the only kind of road that would fit into the facts stated would be indeed be a dual carraigeway.

    But since I am used to explaining things in a way that a numpty can easily understand I shall do so for you.

    If you have two lanes going in each direction, in the single carraigeway format that you are inferring the OP was talking about then there would be nothing to stop the Police car from simply crossing onto the empty opposite side of the road, the OP said the road was empty or at least inferred this.

    As the Police car was unable to do so this is one reason that anybody with any brains would consider this a good piece of evidence to suggets strongly we are talking about a DC.

    The other clue, which I have already mentioned, is that these two lanes the OP talks about then turn into three lanes as there is a right turn lane, now if we were talking about a normal road that just happened to have two lanes of traffic with no solid divider or central reservation then there wouldn't be enough road space available to have this right hand turn lane unless we are actually talking about a DC.


    It is very interesting watching this thread unfold, the same old names pop up, bunching together to attack a viewpoint that is perhaps at odds with the one they hold.

    It takes very little time for those of a slighty, erm , lower down the intelligence scale top resort to personal attacks.

    When you gets groups of people that really aren't that sharp you will see they will crowd together, this happens not only in real life but also in cyberspace.

    Seriously this forum is hilarious.

    If you are wrong them why not just start throwing insults.

    If somebody insults me then I have no issues with throwing insults back, perhaps this is me showing some frustration that people who don't know what they are talking about will put their opinion over so aggressively that it may actually be believed.

    I do feel sorry for mikey72 and Woody in particular.

    You two really haven't amounted to anything have you.

    I wonder if you were some of the fools that used to get laughed at on the BWTS forum years ago when we used to play "out the walt".

    Better get yourself back on Ambulance999, isn't that were you will find people you are on the same level as, eh Woody.

    As far as Mikey72, to be honest, you are a waste of bandwidth you really are.

    Whenever there is a topic you know nothing of has never stopped you from trying to put forward an opinion has it.

    Maybe we will get another one of your "threats", oooooooooo, go on chase me!!!:p

    You really are set on carrying on with this crap aren't you.

    If you expect me to out myself on a forum to prove you wrong then you need to speak to your GP about getting yourself sectioned as you are a danger to yourself.


    Now, run along mikey, the adults want to talk.


    I understand why you are jealous of people like me but if you expect me to publish my pin to prove how wrong you are then please refer you one of my previous comments.


    In fact, even better, stop trying to wreck the forum.


    That is all you try to do when a more knowledgable viewpoint comes on.


    Lets be honest now mikey, what exactly have you ever achieved?

    Are you so embarressed with what you have achieved that you seek to empower yourself by attempting to belittle the achievments of people that have risen to a professional level that you could never attain.

    That is something that you really need to think about mikey.

    Stop attacking others and start addressing the faults in yourself.


    Just so as you know, not long till I get my GOLD PLATED NHS ILL HEALTH RETIREMENT PACKAGE, nice.......

    That might be the difference between me and some of the "posters" on here, I was actually prepared to make sacrifices to help others, no matter what the risk to me, and I have done so, hence my GOLD PLATED NHS ILL HEALTH RETIREMENT PACKAGE that so annoys people like you.


    You couldn't do what we do, so you chose to attack on a forum where you can remain annonimous:rotfl:

    No, as I said, I am happy to throw it back if thrown at me. Not the correct thing to do, but then again I have never said I was perfect?


    I think you do infact seem to claim that though.


    Now, have you taken your meds yet?:p

    Oh, one last comment to end with.

    You are boring me now..................

    Any chance you could put a Google link up then we can see the road as it is? Any explanation however good cannot match a picture.

    .

    Nice to see the OP's description of the road has changed again.

    I have quoted you as I can't be bothered to look for the post from the OP that you have quoted.

    Really good analysis. How did I manage to end up on the lane which goes in the opposite direction if it was DC? I mentioned this little fact in the first post. Did I go through a central reservation? Explain please.

    Look 6am, you have changed the situation that you are winging about nearly every time you have posted.

    You were in the wrong.

    Live with it.

    What is the next thing you are going to add to infer it wasn't your fault? That the local Starbucks had a sale on two Lattes for the price of one and the sign damaged you concentration.
