It does seem that regardless of what make of car they drive there are some ppl who think that paying their road tax means they and they alone now own the road and no one else has a right to use it. Therefore it's perfectly acceptable to manoeuvre without checking mirror or signalling and any resulting accident would not be there fault as the other person is not meant to be there.
These ppl make my blood boil!!! Personally I always check my mirror and use correct signals, but I will hold my hands up and say that yesterday, due to a lack of sleep, I pulled a U turn in a residential area and failed to spot the dirty great big blue Golf heading towards me! No emergencey stops so it wasnt all bad, but it just goes to show how a momentary lapse of concentration for whatever reason, can cause problems/accidents

Either you've got a rubber neck...
Or you don't drive much...
He mean he do the over the shoulder glance back... und if in car he manoeuvre if safe to do so.. but when on bicycle this mean just have a kamizaze urge!

the only thing that matters these days is your speed
if you cant make time up by speeding
then you carve people up to save that nanosecond
you are not concentrating as you are going so slow
driving is now getting from a to b
it used to be a skill
the skill of driving is dead in the uk
soon we will have roads like india where no one is prosocuted unless spedding being the only diffrence

Yep. I've had one or two occassions where an foot or yard here or there would've ended in a (low speed) bump. It's easily done.

Given how few people actually PAY VED anymore, then it's probably not an unreasonable assumption - the chances of being on the same bit of road as another taxed-up driver are slim!!!
I've noticed this for years, the closest I ever get to having a prang whether within the limits or not. I guess the governments approach is to reduce speed so that the result isn't as serious rather than address the problem.
On the one occasion I've had a prang I was watching out for a potential to do something stupid as they were showing the tell tale signs only to have the bloke next to me decide to drive into the side of my car on a roundabout, the bloke was a self confessed genius who admitted liability fortunately but then said that if he'd indicated he would have been ok
The dent I made in his car blended in nicely with the previous one he'd had.

I was so so happy when I saw a ?Trafpol BiB pull a numptie on the Archway Roundabout dahn Lahndon way this December - bad lane discipline, no use of indicators at all, changing options mid-stream which endangered other motorists and avoided a very nasty crash only because of a bus driver's excellent brake reflexes.

It's difficult to speed on many Indian roads - too many vehicles, pot-holes, motorised rickshaws, bicyclists and cows, and damned dangerous at night with all the lorries having no rear lights and no sense of direction - Streaky if you cant make time up by speeding

So you just manoeuvre if anyone is there, regardless.
I see many do that everyday.
Classic way to edit my post to make it suit your bias. Nice going, plonker.
As if I'd ever be so
ing stupid as to just pull out in front of people, no matter what. 1/10. Must try harder.
