Sorry, I'm usually fairly relaxed about grammar, but "I was explained" can't be right surely?
Someone explained to me. Sorry, I'm Dutch.KUT 94V
My dutch neighbour told me he had photographed my car and sent it to his friend in Holland.

o be fair, the person posting the video is also to blame by turning right from the leftmost of three lanes.
No they are not - look at the sign. https://goo.gl/maps/doquUtP7iZyVipers said:
Then you would have appreciated the number plate of my Audi 5GLS I had some years ago, it was :-

If i bought a car that came with that plate i'd have to get a different plate for it KUT 94V

My take is he was in the wrong lane and so was she.

It's three lanes, you can clearly see that on google street view. The left lane splits off for the M1, but not signposted as such because you've just come off the M1... Sign from the exit on the left shows it's for M1 and the A45.
Looks like your right, what I saw obviously wasn't a separate lane, but it begs the question if all three lanes are indicated to turn right, how do you turn left.https://goo.gl/maps/doquUtP7iZy
Bad signage me thinks.

Why does gobby, spitty, chavy clunge (who is driving on the motorway) get off, then immediately go back on again ?
If you look where she cuts up the dashcam guy, she's going back on the same motorway she just got off?
Or am I missing something.
To jump a queue of slow-moving traffic on the M1, perhaps?If you look where she cuts up the dashcam guy, she's going back on the same motorway she just got off?

Check out this scumbag. Parked across two privately owned spaces, one of which is reserved for disabled visitors.
Has he won this thread?
Yeah but to be fair it is a 2 year old Picasso(?) - I mean, the owner's got a right to park like that to protect his pride and joy.Has he won this thread?
Working as a VAG parker (7500 cars at PON NL for all the Dutch dealers) and that's where you learn how to properly park an UP, a Transporter, Fastback Audi and Cayenne: 30 cms side to side and 10 cm front / back.
It should be a punishment - or learning curve - for the Bad Parkers posted here

I can think of a couple of Motorway junctions like this. M40 southbound turning onto A34 southbound. Three lane slip road off M40, three lanes turn right on roundabout, three lanes onto A34 southbound.https://goo.gl/maps/doquUtP7iZy

As mentioned, you wouldn't normally want to go back down onto the Motorway you have just left (but if you did, you'd need to be in the left lane only). So effectively, the left lane of the slip road goes left (Bicester) straight on (M40) and right (A34)

Forgive my ignorance - can that not just drive out? Or is it one of those 4wds that is actually just 2wd?
Wondered if someone would drop me in here Car is 4WD but only the centre diff locks up so being that deep and having a front and rear wheel unloaded/spinning means it wasn't moving anywhere. Plus the fact it was deep as s
t on the left hand side and up to the top of the wheel wasn't helping.Who says pulling over to make a call is safer?

In Livingston yesterday, we had a demonstration of just how large and unwieldy a barge the Chevrolet Spark is when it comes to manoeuvring in a tight space. I think the old guy at the wheel of this one coped admirably with the challenge presented, despite finding it necessary to shunt the Ka forward a couple of feet to accommodate his car's bulk and having a close encounter of the paint-swapping kind with the Polo alongside it. He seemed more than satisfied with his efforts - not even a backward glance as he shuffled off towards the shops.
