superbigal Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 People drive the whole length of the tay bridge in the overtaking lane. Do they really think they are going to fall over the edge if they stick to the left lane.Regarding illegal undertaking. What should you do in these situations when its not about speed. Just doddery fuckers in the wrong lane at 40mph. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Academically Deficient Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Those who drive the M74 eastbound through Glasgow, you may know the short merge section with the M8. You've got maybe a mile to decide "am I going to Lanarkshire or into the city centre"? . Loads of time. The number of total @rseholes who wait to the very last minute to switch, cross over the fuckin chevrons, and into the 74 is unbelievable. Happened to me again last night. Having to slam the brakes on at 60mph on a motorway, when there is about 100m of empty road behind me that they could have used is a tad irritating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which means the guy who undertook me must have been going significantly faster, when if he had stayed at his original speed he could have joined the 74 without giving me palpitations. Nobody does 50 on it when the traffic is running well. Sorry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alta-pete Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 1 hour ago, Tynierose said: Van delivery drivers who proceed who hurtle around the streets at what seems like twice the speed limit, screech to a halt, launch out a parcel then do a three point turn ignoring anyone in their vicinity. These c***s are a danger. Could be a bit of friction at the PnB Christmas Party this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When driving (on any road, at any time of day) it's best to assume that the time of the c**t behind you is more important than your time. You can bet that's exactly what they're thinking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 28/11/2020 at 01:43, IrishBhoy said: It’s not as innocent a move as you make out as it could then see the person travelling behind to stamp hard down on the brake pedal to avoid a potential collision, and run the risk of a car behind them not being able to stop in time and smashing into them. This sort of move becomes even more idiotic on a quiet motorway where the car doing the ‘brake testing’ has had ample time and space to move to their left, as has been said a hundred times, where they should be. Yeah this. Ask a police officer about it and you'll be told how many crashes are caused by people "policing the roads" themselves. Worst one was a boy smashing it to the hospital with his wife in agony in the back. Reported to be sitting at 90 in the overtaking lane on a clear road, turns to see his wife, when someone pulls into the overtaking lane to try and slow him down. You can probably guess how it ends. My old apprentice got the full lecture a few years back when one of our police customers spotted him brake testing folk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Fwiw ill purposely drive slow in a 30 zone if there's some fanny behind me clearly hammering along, but I'll never do that on a dual carriageway/motorway, as its so easy to lose control of your car at 80+ and you've zero idea who's in the car behind you. Brake testing is for utter morons who'll one day see someone crash behind them due to it yet still justify it, as if possibly disabling someone was worth it to prove a point. Tail gaiting is also for fannies, and generally is done by folk who think their car is about ten times faster than it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
