The tts fixing the M5 North where it joins the M42, usualy 2 lanes off the M5 onto the M42 but they have closed lane 2 and the only indication is a yellow sign that no one notices. Lesson learnt, nearly got side swiped yesterday though by a van who had missed the signs and tried to swerve into lane 1 at the last minute.

M11 last night again another 2.
Coming southbound at the Stanstead junction.
I noticed a c class merc on the slip i was thinking to my self bet hes going straight to lane 2.
Yep straight to lane 2 there was not much traffic around, he was behind me with no reason not to be in lane 1. He was still sat in lane 2 with nothing anywhere near him approaching the next junction. I indicated to overtake another car merc driver flashes me even with him being 1/4 mile behind me.
The scariest one was just approaching the on only junction. I saw cars swerving around something.
This turned out to be a micra in lane 2 doing about 35 mph!!

Plenty of people haven't bothered to clear Windows, or lights, or roofs etc.
Plus the usual people who can't figure out what lights to turn on so either have nothing, or everything.
The rule is;
If your car is mist/fog/tarmac coloured, no lights.
If it's reasonably visible, Blackpool Illuminations.

You must be new. wink

People removing front propshaft off a Freelander to 'improve' fuel consumption. Just how many miles do you do exactly?

Been ringing round ads today & 3 of the nearest in my area & price point don't have it!!

Knobs.

Class A twunt in a burgundy RR evoque yesterday.

I'm driving down a 30 road which shortly turns into a 60, evoque-tard is approaching the end of a street waiting to pull out, he comes to a complete stop, looks at me; then decides to pull out anyway.

I'm now slamming on my breaks to avoid crashing my Disco onto the back of his Evoque creating some sort of hideous discooque hybrid.

As if pulling out in front of me wasn't annoying enough - he seemed to very much take his time getting up to 30.

Once we reach the 60 stretch I can only assume he decided to "floor it" as black smoke came gushing out his exhaust and his Evoque crawled up to 60.

He then drove down the 60 stretch straddling the lines in the middle of the road as if he was drunk.

I can only imagine the result of the above is him not wanting to sit behind what he thought was a "lesser" car. I was tempted several times to put my foot down and fly past his Evoque whilst it crawled along struggling to reach 60 with enough smoke coming out the back to make a coal power plant look efficient but I thought the better of it.

Absolute knob.

Yesterday the guy in a red fiesta at the trafford centre who approached the roundabout I was on, looked at me, then decided not to stop and just 'go for it' anyway.

The fact that indicator use now seems to be optional.

The cretin at County Durham Highways department that thought putting a single strand of 'trees' (gods know what they are) was a goof idea here - https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@54.6524909,-1.51301....

This roundabout/interchange hasn't experienced any major accidents (though it's been a close thing a couple of times as various twunts decided to move from the right lane to the left without bothering to look or indicate, nothing to do with the entrance though they had been beside me at the entrance).

All this line of foliage does is reduce the once good visibility of approaching traffic as well as the view of traffic coming out of Gipsy Lane that want to turn right (across the two lanes) to the possibility of approaching traffic wanting to turn into Gipsy Lane, should be some interesting side impacts going on in the future.

I have this over whelming, you know, urge to buy a sizeable quantity of sausages, sizeable chest freezer and to give a stand of trees a short back and sides.

Pedestrians who insist on walking down the nearside of country lanes whilst dressed all in dark colours yet remain baffled when traffic almost hits them.

Probably the same genius who thought doing this was safer than allowing full visablity....

Some cyclists riding with no light on, running red light and in a position so nobody could pass, amazingly the turned into a wrong way street the wrong way, cutting up a car in the process. Karma well and truly caught up, who was coming out the one way street, a police van of course and they obviously got stopped. I did laugh.

Some stupid woman driving a white Audi. Turns left out of a side road, and is faced with a row of cars on her side, and a cyclist riding up the other side. Failing to accept that the cyclist has priority, ignoring the fact that the obstruction is on HER side AND that the cyclist is well and truly "established" and pretty close to clearing the row of parked cars anyway, she decides that she cannot be bothered to wait 5 or so seconds for the bike to get out of the way.

So she drives AT the cyclist. Karma well and truly caught up though. The cyclist stuck out his right hand and the stupid cow's door mirror clattered into her window. The cyclist must have been nails, because he slapped a moving car and never even flinched or looked back.

Go on. Ask me how I know!

wink




The cyclist even took a photo of the scene (albeit on his way home a few hours later...)

People who park facing oncoming traffic at night. Not so bad here under a streetlight but there are reasons why vehicles have red reflectors on the back.
