The 35 in a 60 Club

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

My driving instructor was superb; I was told to keep UPTO the limit where safe to do so and not to get to a roundabout, stop and then look to see if anything is coming round! Even the advanced driving course teaches you that; observation beyond the immediate surroundings.

 

I swear some people get the middle and right hand pedal mixed up.

 

Another thing, you've got the slow coach holding up 10+ cars and yet you're knackered because the several immediately behind the prat are content to sit there, also doing 28 in a 60 limit. What is wrong with people. I honestly don't get it.

Cuz if you do it the other way, dart straight over, ya get in trouble with the old bill.

 

I shot over a roundabout one Sunday morning when I was in a rush to help a mate out. Copper sat just off the roundabout clocked me and 'gave me a pull'....... Result: breath tested..... Over the limit from the night before....... 12 month ban, 300 quid fine........ Twenty odd years ago.

 

These days I tend to be one of those that annoy TCD, on and off the roads.

I took a driver improvement course (instead of getting done for DWDC) we went out with an advanced driving instructor and we were told to read a roundabout as we approached it and slowing well before if this meant we did not need to stop, roundabouts are "give way" not "stop".

 

It may have been something else about your driving that tipped him off, because I not stopped at a roundabout unnecessarily for decades and never been pulled for it.

I did not say it did, I did mine about 13 years ago, but I have never felt the need to stop at roundabouts and passed my test in1987

Oh yes and the ones on the inside lane joining a roundabout, who wait for truck or bus in the outside lane to finish pulling onto roundabout to see if the roads clear:confused1: ………………do they think a vehicle is going to come through the bus or truck and hit them?????????????????

 

Yep . Thats is a right corker Does my swede in !

[Stubby]

And this . Blue rinse doing 0 mph on the village road and puts the brakes on coz of the bend by the church which is perfectly safe to take at 40 . You just know those brake lights are cumming on and .....Yep there they are !

TCD you are a grumpy git You must have gotten behind someone like my dear old mum, she believes that motorways have a slow, medium and fast lane. She will go along with the lorries at about fifty and if she wants to do sixty she moves out into the middle lane. If she`s felling a bit racy she will move into the outside lane and do seventy.

And another observation; crap drivers usually drive what I call undiscerning cars. Egg-shaped Citroen Picasso being the classic example. Yep, dump drivers buy poo cars.
