…”They aren’t fatuous, they are simply my opinion “…

I’m afraid you are wrong there! Opinions can be fatuous, infantile, peurile and asinine as you have demonstrated perfectly on this thread without too much effort.

You have not produced any evidence that advanced driving techniques produce… “roundabout bimbling, middle lane hogging, 40 mph slip road joining, or anything else for that matter. As you say, it’s your opinion, which is quite clearly fatuous, infantile, peurile, asinine, and just plain silly.

Just my opinion you understand.

The evidence is clear, watch a video of an 'advanced driver ***leaner***' and you will see what I mean. They do not make the progress that a normal driver with some balls would make.

Looks like your opinion is just as wrong is mine then, right?

If they crash into you I would have thought that it then becomes “literally” your problem as well. You will have to arrange for the rear of your car to be repaired, and convince the insurance company of the car in front, the one you were shunted into, that it wasn’t literally your fault that you hit him up the rear, it was literally the bloke behind’s fault. How do you then deal with them saying … “that’s all very good but, sorry mate, this is now literally your problem”?

Oh, yes, I think I know the answer… “nothing to do with me mate, it was literally the problem of the bloke behind me”. To which the insurance company response is literally likely to be… “do you know what the word literally actually means?

You're not paying for it though right? So yes it's not your problem as the money is what matters.

To quote NWA "Life ain't nothin' but bi**hes and money"

It's common knowledge in the eyes of the pigs and insurance companies that you should be a 'safe' distance away from the car in front so the fact that you have even been rear ended in the first place should make it obvious that the car behind was to close, should it not? It's VERY hard to get out of being to blame if you rear end someone as the odds are always in favour of the person in front for obvious reasons.

I’m not sure what ‘advanced driver ***leaner***’ means, but would be more than happy to watch a video that supports your thesis if you would kindly post a link.

Thanks.

Not if you're injured or dead.

I’m assuming that they need balls because they’re taking unnecessary risks in the pursuit of making progress?

Have a look at this, embarrassing in my opinion and similar to how a leaner would drive.

Unlikely from a rear ended collision.

Thahs the kind of thing Ashley Neal’s kind would say. Every overtake he ‘analysis’ is unnecessary and has to much ‘risk’.

Every overtake is worth it no matter if it’s in a 20mph zone or on a 70mph motorway or whether you get past 1 car or 5. Ashley always goes on about overtaking and then waiting at the lights in front of them, well they got ahead didn’t they so their mission is complete. Risky overtakes are worth if if you get what’s especially if it’s to get ahead of a problem driver like a learner or someone else who regularly gets over taken by the local garden snail.

[dvenman]

I really can't work out if @150234 is a troll or really drives like that.

If a troll, well he's got me.

If he really drives like than then his balls are going to drag him into a crash sooner rather than later.

And for an example of a fatal where the person who was rear ended died, watch https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m00105nv/the... I'm sure I could find other examples. Crash mechanics are complex things because of all the multitude of factors - speed, relative positions and impact angles and others - and you can't guarantee any outcome.

No, it isn't and they aren't.

Thank you.

I have been on a mission actually, I bought it in febuary in 2020 and said to myself "I will get a few miles on the clock to practice and get used to real world driving then ditch it in may". Turns out I didn't specify which may as a whole year later I still have the damn thing. What was going to be a cheap run around for in town for a few months because a 15 month offroading motorway cruising stunt driving beast.

We have all had fun in our cars, especially our first ones.

Again, thank you for the welcome.

Looking at your posts on other forums, I can only assume that you haven't been driving for long. If you carry on driving like you make out, then you won't be driving for much longer either.

Good luck with your impending accident(s).

Sorry, I'm not going to wish him luck, at all.

I hope that when (because it is when, not if), he goes hooning around a corner at mach 3, because he's too good for "always be able to stop in the distance you can see to be clear", he impales himself on the chap to the right and removes himself from the genepool, rather than murdering the chap on the left.

No need to apologise and a fair point

Really? The reason whiplash claims are so common as a scam is that it's so common as a real injury....

They are if you get in front as that equals mission successful. Are you one of these people that needs a half mile straight to even consider an overtake to be safe?

As for not driving very long, correct. I have been doing it since Febuary 2020 and loving every moment of it. 45k miles later and it's literally like sitting in an arm chair to me as I don't worry about this and that I just drive. You say this, but how do you know I will have an accident? You don't know the roads I drive on.

Seen that episode before and, as I have said before, accidnets like that are rare (they are don't come back and say they aren't) so to me if it happens it happens but if it doesn't it doesn't.

The "always be able to stop in the distance you can see to be clear" is an excuse for teaching learners to drive like snails.

I would feel bad for impaling myself on the chap on the right as he is a hardworking man trying to earn a living where as the guy on the left is an asshole shaking their head because you didn't give them 200 yards of space but don't get me started on the wannabe Chris Frommes doing the 9-5 Tour De France.

Everytime I see a cyslist I am always reminded of the time one scrapped his handlebar on my door in traffic, good day that was.

Yes, but it won't kill you and you should notice if a car is going to hit you before it hits you so you can yank the handbrake up and plant your foot on the brake and anchor yourself to the ground like I did.
