Why not just go round it, filtering across to the correct lane? I've seen me in the wrong lane and just going round again.

It obviously depends what lane you need to be in but in the example you have given I am sure he could have exited said retail park and continued his onwards journey without causing panic and consternation among other road users.

Snap! She'll be screeching "where are you going" as I take a 100 yard detour to turn and rejoin the roundabout. Her secret is to weave about and you might be in the right lane at your exit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the correct answer ^^^^ But wouldn't you prefer to slam on the brakes and make every road user behind you have an accident in their pants? I know someone who would. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully. Hopefully the police who are currently on a surveillance mission on the cycling thread can take time out to charge him with using his phone and numerous other driving offences. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbigal Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 As there is not a c***s in the petrol station thread. Why am I the only person that rolls in to the forecourt and swings the hose to the far side of the car, while every other fuckwit queues up. Do they not realise the thing is more than 3 foot long.You actually get more fuel if you extend the hose fully [emoji106] 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee Man Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 As much as cruise control is a great invention, it just highlights how much people don't keep an eye on their speed as it fluctuates between 55 - 70mph on the motorway. There is nothing better than rapidly catching up on someone as you're sat at a fixed speed, pull out to overtake them and then they get the foot down so you're sat in the outside lane not overtaking like a right gimp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in no way an expert in the mechanics of a petrol pump but would the fuel not have to travel down the same length of hose regardless of how far it has been pulled out of the casing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think what he is saying is that if you are stood next to the car, your hose (quiet at the back please) will mostly be hanging down and the petrol will remain in the hose. The way he probably does it is have the hose over the car so all of the petrol runs down. It's a ridiculously minimal saving to be bragging about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess the cut-out valve is in the nozzle meaning that stretching the hose (fnarr) makes no difference whatsover. Watching the idiots queue for the pump on their tank side while you cruise into an available pump at the 'wrong' side and fuel up and leave while they're still queuing is most satisfying though. Having said that, there is one garage near me which doesn't quite reach the other side no matter how close you park to the pump. I won't be making a c**t of myself like that again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
