Why do people never indicate or look

[bermyandy]

Maybe its just london, i dont know, but i was driving though vauxhall on that big roundabout in the outside lane. As i exit, women in the boxster on my left decides to drift into my lane - no look, no indication, and snap of the steering wheel back into her lane once she hears my horn

Further down the road, in the inside lane as want to go left at the next set of lights - cue a guy in a white mini van to drift over into my lane, without signalling. He then of course pulls in behnd and starts flashing at me, to then change lanes to go right at the lights

Well, rant over..

Because, my friend, they are all numpties.

the answer is that some do indicate and indeed look. possibly they are underrepresented in your neck of the woods. get out of the rat race. move to the country. the roads are twistier. the air is cleaner. and you can invest some of the profit selling your london pad in a pork upgrade

Jeesh - I live in Dubai!

Driving in London is the height of civility compared

Be thankful you're in a car, not on a m/bike or pushbike!

Normally am on a bike to be fair, but the cycle route to work is a lot less cut throat than the driving route in!!

Its only because the bike is in the office, and the car is in front of me as i step out my door every morning and its too hot for the tube

Not just London I am afraid same up here in Yorkshire. We do get some indicating, but normally after the manoeuvre has completed.

One of my favourites is turning right by going round the outside of a roundabout, no indicators and then madly jesticulating when you compain as they nearly cut you in half when you were trying to leave the roundabout.

Hear hear! Up here people are generally falling over themselves to screw one another constantly. It would be highly entertaining were it not for the mortal danger you're put in each time you climb into your car.

No no no. the Brummies own that manoevre. I had never seen it until i moved to the Midlands.
