One single thing that makes you think "knob" Vol 3
Discussion
Seven fifteen this morning.
Lots of shouting from down the road.
When I leave the house, there's a mid thirties guy about a dozen doors down, half finished bottle of cheap white wine in hand, drunkenly shouting at someone in the house, as well as passing pedestrians and cars.
Seriously, what the f
k possesses someone to get that wasted before 8 on a Tuesday morning?

Re. inside/outside lane.
Lay 6 shoelaces parallel, so looking from above it reflects a standard 3-lane DC arrangement. Number the laces 1-6, going from left to right.
Lane 3 and 4 - these are clearly in the middle, the innermost lanes. The inside lanes, you could logically surmise. Anyone who calls them the "outside" lane deserved to be dry-bummed by Big Leroy.
Equally, the outermost lanes, lanes 1 and 6, are the outside lanes. Not the inside lanes.
I can just about forgive people not using L1, L2 etc but to call the inner lanes "outside" just shows what utter Deacons many, many people are. And they walk among us, and are trusted to drive cars.

And many of those Deacons (top retro insult - you must have watched Blue Peter back in the day) work for the AA, the RAC, respected dictionaries...Lay 6 shoelaces parallel, so looking from above it reflects a standard 3-lane DC arrangement. Number the laces 1-6, going from left to right.

Just so I'm clear, if I am overtaking on a dual carriageway, I check my offside mirror and use my offside indicator to move to the inside lane, then use the same on my nearside to move back to the outside lane?

Irrespective of CorpulentSlob's point, Deacon is indeed a top insult.Just so I'm clear, if I am overtaking on a dual carriageway, I check my offside mirror and use my offside indicator to move to the inside lane, then use the same on my nearside to move back to the outside lane?
He lost his shoe in the Thames. He was devastated.
This, and other death-defying feats are recounted in his magnum opus - transcribed by his mate Ernie and available in literally no good bookshops.
As much as I keep banging on about this, the series of idiots who I encounter daily on the country road on my way to work who are incapable of making progress is unbelievable. This road is posted as 60. It's perfectly safe to do 60 (or at the very least 50). Why, therefore, I constantly encounter people doing 40 mph or lower is utterly beyond me.
I find that perhaps 2 in 10 people are capable of doing 40 + on this road, the rest will enter the road, st themselves and then proceed at 40 mph or lower.

See pages 306/307 of this thread for a discussion on 'Treating all other drivers as idiots', which I disagreed with.
I guess it's not so much assuming they are idiots but assume the worst case scenario so you are on the side of caution. There's a lot of factors that explain why a driver does something wrong, idiocy may be a part of it but there could be other factors. AJXX1 said:

You probably know this already, but country roads, both double and single lane, are the most dangerous highways in the country. Villages excepted, they are all NSL.I find that perhaps 2 in 10 people are capable of doing 40 + on this road, the rest will enter the road, s
t themselves and then proceed at 40 mph or lower.Lots of blind bends, heavily foliaged, and potholed. Round the bend a tractor!, behind that hedge a dog walker!
Maybe that's why most drivers on these type of roads drive in a cautious manner. Quite rightly.

Once again you try to defend this ridiculous practice.Lots of blind bends, heavily foliaged, and potholed. Round the bend a tractor!, behind that hedge a dog walker!

AJXX clearly states the road is SAFE for 60 mph.That means you will see the potholes, tractors, dog walkers etc. Unless you have a sight issue?......
I have the same here, good long straight sections but busy so little chance of an overtake, yet stupid knobbish duffers like you drive it @ 28 mph.
If you cannot cope with the conditions, keep off the f
king roads!!Jim AK said:

SAFE for 60 mph.
I would never dream of driving at 60 on any of the country roads and lanes in my patch. Now that would be silly.

There's an NSL road near me that is perfectly straight yet I always seem to be stuck behind a row of cars doing 35-40.

All the retards in my area rush about in 20-30 zones and the second the road opens up, no retard knows what to do so just bumble about. Drives me insane.

Ernie also had cerebral palsy, dictated it to a 3rd bloke who'd been dumped in the same mental hospital, who wrote it all out, then a fourth bloke, who couldn't read, taught himself to read and type in order to type it all out
50 years in a loony bin, a bloke with normal intelligence who just couldn't speak
we all laughed as kids, but we're adults now, eh

s flashing cars out of side roads when I'm clearly coming the opposite direction, and they pull straight out without even looking as of course the road must be clear, someone flashed right?!Both
s, the one flashing and the one pulling out.Once again avoided a collision this morning in the exact above scenario as I drive so defensively.

He just doesn't realise anything he says is not being taken seriously though.
At least, not by me. Anymore.
