Mark Connolly Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 If we're on the subject of lanes specifically marked for one thing, the right hand lane on Great Western Road just before Napiershall Street is marked as right turn only. DON'T FUCKING GO STRAIGHT FROM THAT LANE, YOU FUCKING c***s. Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajwffc Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Roundabouts you say? Try this one in Swindon I have driven round it once. It is actually quite easy to navigate 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is actually quite easy to navigate Indeed and that's the whole point of it. It's similar to the one in Hemel which I drive through often: I think what confuses some drivers is that they think the big green bit in the middle is the roundabout. It isn't. It's a series of mini roundabouts and you can choose to go left or right depending on traffic and still end up where you planned to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishBhoy Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 People who drive up to a double lane roundabout in the inside lane, and don’t bother to stay in the inside lane as they drive round the roundabout, but instead just go straight across, using the outside lane, wether someone’s there or not. I’ve got a section of road near me where it’s 4 roundabouts in quick succession and I can actually spot the cars that are going to do it now as they don’t bother lining their car up correctly coming on to the roundabout. Got an old woman driving a brand new Jag that done it at all 4 roundabouts the other day. She was completely oblivious as to what she was doing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all depends on being aware of traffic around you who may be affected by your actions. If the road is completely clear I will use the shortest route through a roundabout or the opposing lane on a right hand bend for example. The problems described above are caused by drivers having no knowledge or care about vehicles around them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Ignore the stupid plane. Anyone that's been to the Arc de Triumph knows that this roundabout is utterly mental. In May I think we stood watching for about 15 minutes just people going in all directions at times, c***s diving off, diving in everything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if it's the case or just an urban myth but in the photo you can see a blue line separating the inside two lanes from the rest - I was told that if you find yourself inside the blue line your insurance is no longer valid... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been round that roundabout a couple of times on a tour bus and seen a number of near misses. Also seen the aftermath of a crash between a car and a coach(front of car sitting inside the luggage compartment of the coach. There is an underpass from each pavement to get to the Arc de Triumph but you still see tourists(was manly Asians and some Americans when I was there) crossing the roundabout to get there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I embarrassed myself the first time I went to the Arc de Triomphe when I audibly mumbled "How the f**k are you meant to get across?" only to hear the response "There's an underpass, ken" from a random Aberdonian who was standing beside me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightswoodBear Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 After driving back from France at the weekend, it has reinforced my belief that the police should have the power to publicly execute people on the hard shoulder that hog the middle lane. Absolute worst c*nts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 The amount of times I meet people coming round corners who are on the wrong side of the white line is frightening. One day they will be that far over it I'll get clipped. Are people incapable of adjusting their speed to suit the road layout? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These p***ks and the ones who just cross over and drive on the wrong side without looking when there are parked cars/something stopped on their own side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 There was a c**t in a Discovery driving south bound near Bruar last night, the only way to excuse his driving was if he was having a fucking stroke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
