Line lock on, then second gear burnout. That gets them out the way

Mk1-stu

an island ? in the middle of town ? did i miss something ?

lead_foot

iTrader: (1)

He's from Opp North, he means Roundabout

Mk1-stu

yeah i er.. knew that !

it's normally old people, or chav's that stop at roundabouts. Chav's do it so that the next 3 counties get to hear their 46" exhaust pipe when they pull off slower than a slug in a salt pile and old people do it because they can't remember where they were going

focusv8

I'd put money on, the same people that do stop at Islands / Junctions when they don't need to, don't stop at a Stop Sign when they must do.

Too true my friend, i do this often (think it's something in the water round my way) everyone seems to have so much time to stop and smell flowers at junctions.

This one car this morning got me going, and in the process of having a little moan to myself, dropped my cig which promtly burnt through my trousers

Coldo

Am I the only one that said the title of this thread in a Murray Walker voice?

lead_foot

iTrader: (1)

Nope, I did as well. I was assuming it was a traffic light GP thread.

KregRS

Are they the same people that drive at 40 in a NSL, then when they get to a 30, they carry on regardless, at 40.

Dangerous Malcolm..

All the time, usually gooooooooooooooooooooooo or c'mon you cunt..





I hate them people so much!



Today I was overtaken by an old man in a Merc!! The fact I was on a residential street doing 30 didn't phase him. He got the horn and finger on the way past.

stebh

That boils my piss the most. I was following some old duffer the other day down a road which was NSL doing 38, the road then goes into a village with a primary school, so 30mph limit and the daft bastard carried on at 38. But i'm the boy racer twat because i would have overtaken if i could when it was 60

Am I the only one that does the arm waving thing then ? Like trying to shoo them forward whilst shouting,I am worse in my van for that.

BM08

Really didnt think of Murray walker when i did the title, think i typed the post pretty fast without thinking much, but pretty funny now most of you mentioned it

JoeE30

I drive for a living and do all the above and more....there are some proper wankers on the road.....

kosman

yep they get the airhorn and a out of the effin way you piss-stain,then i get a fonecall from gaffer who's got 3numbers and his name up the side of truck

Matt_16v

All the time, especially at roundabouts where you can quite clearly see there's nothing coming people still stop and have a good old look, why?!?!

Alternatives may include;

Any time today, prick
Out of my way old bloke
Out of my way chav
Fucking get on with it you mug
Oh for fucks sake!

And so on and so fourth.

Red16

Aye that pisses me off big style, but what you just said winds me up too

this is a roundabout

2 totally different things

Oh and it must be a down South thing as nobody says it up here, thankfully!

lead_foot

iTrader: (1)

Nah, no one says it down here. Must be a midlands thing.

AlexF

It annoys me more when you're in a queue at a set of traffic lights and they go green and people in the queue take ages to set off - it's even worse (for some reason) when they're temporary traffic lights.

Technically as they go green everyone in the whole queue could set off at the same time, but that never happens.

Red16

Hell yeah!!!

lights go green... car infront doesnt notice for ages, then its handbrake off... into gear... pull away dead slowly (occasionally stalling) then through the lights, 1 or 2 cars later the lights are back on red again!

BM08

Yeah but EVERYONE knows what i mean, so your point is ?

It's Czech Mate

Sooooooooooooo true!!

Red16

I mean you sound like a cock when you refer to it as an island, in the same way that everyone knows what you mean when you say wastegate chatter but they also think youre a cock!

It's Czech Mate

The correct term is a 'traffic circulatory'

It is however widely accepted that a roundabout is a small version of the above and an 'island' is a large version, like at a motorway junction etc

Red16

Well nobody up this end of the country calls them islands, then again us thick lot up here dont always get things right

spinus

they stop at roundabouts by us, pull away when its clear then as you pull away they stop and hope you hit them up the ass. theyre nearly always private hire cars people carriers with about 100 people in it or rentals. on one dual carriageway by us with a roundabout either end there has been 107 rear end incidents in six months. things are so bad all our artics are fitted with recording cameras. there latest method is to overtake you in a 40 dual carriageway, then they, theres 2 cars both pull in front of you, the nearest car stops dead and the other car f***s off ,you hit him up the ass and he says the other bloke cut me up! wankers

BM08

WHAT?

Dangerous Malcolm..

I have my tomtom set to the American birds voice, and she calls them something else completely! I still don't know what it is she says to this day and I've had it bloody years.

spinus

yes its called crash for cash , it made the news a few weeks back they actually caught them on film overtaking the lorry pulling strait in front of him and stopping dead. i see at least 2 or three a night. our firm have given the police three films that our wagons have taken of them doing it to vehicles in front of us. the problem is joe public dont realise hes been turned over

LOL


Derbyshiresville is where i'm used to hearing about islands and it does my nut

cheeky dog

fucking hell this is what i always tell people thought it was just me that thought that.

i always try and explain it to girls when they tell me to calm down coz some pricks love waiting at traffic lights i tell them to think of an F1 start when the lights go out, everyone floors it

why do these people take so long tho? round my area traffic lights stay red for about 3 minutes and go green for about 6 seconds, everyone knows this and yet they have the car in neutral with the handbrake up, let the lights go green for 5 seconds and then they decide to do something about it

and breathe..............
