sipar69 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I get the definite impression that driving with your lights on helps to deter the sorts of people who dash out of junctions and side roads without looking properly or when there isn't really enough time to do it safely. Seeing the headlights coming towards them seems to make them think twice when they might otherwise chance it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipar69 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I'm just off for a blast around the North Circular, M11 and then M25. I'm sure some idiot will upset me before I get back.. :rant: White Van Man on the M25, if he got any closer he would have had to wear a condom..!!! :scare: :scare: Not a fan of the M25!

Grundy Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Besides no lights on there was probably no insurance, tax, MOT or driving license. I hate the scum that drive on the NC and everywhere in London TBH. Boils my pi$$ the amount of rude boy's and stupid drivers around here to the point I try to drive as little as possible. Just because you manage to get hold of Nigerian driving license when you were over there, when you blagged your way into our country it shouldn't mean that you can drive on our roads to our rules. There needs to be a further test. Only last week my Mrs got cut up by an Indian lady who proceeded to stop in the box randomly and trap the traffic, which in turn has now earnt my Mrs a ticket too. I was in the car when it happened and we both said, you watch now, we'll get tagged with this too. Yep, came through on Friday, currently trying to work out how best to argue our case that it wasn't our fault. I got a ticket for the same thing, however I was stupid enough to go to London on New years eve! drove all through Central London, and of course on NYE there are diversions and a million cars. Was crawling all through london, and with the amount of traffic, didn't even see the cross hatches on the floor, got a ticket for it. Must of got hundreds of cars that night.

Photman Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Ive had so many people flash me while driving in the dark with my lights on as they think there on "Main Beam", sorry people I cant adjust the high as I'm going up a hill while your coming down or over a crest. I always have might lights on. Dunno if it is to do with not been allowed to drive with them off in the Forces, always had to have on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Can I play? Recent favourite was two lorries doing the snail race thing on the A14, totally ignoring the ambulance with its blues and twos on weaving about behind them for about 5 miles trying to get seen (and get past) while all the car drivers struggled to believe what they were seeing. I think I actually got my whole body out of the window to tell them what I thought as I went past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djb55 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Belter this morning, going up the carrington spur to join the m60 eastbound following a fiat bravo who insisted on doing 40 mph on the spur despite the obvious 50 signs so theres a queue of us trundling aling this single carriageway up to the roundabout and sure enough this joker goes left onto the ACCELERATION lane of the M60, the traffic at this stage if the morning rush hour is thundering along and this vlown continues at 40 mph to join the fast moving motorway, I flashed my lights, no avail, he then just pulled out into lane 1 where a bmw nearly went into the back of him, he still carried on at 40 mph in lane 1 ........ I gave him a blast of the zeds horns as I overtook but I dont think it would make any difference just totally oblivious to everything and everyother road user. Makes my blood boil. :angry: Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
