    Zed Gradually getting grumpier

    Your point being?
    To be clear if there is no space for them I'll make it, but if there is loads in front and behind they need to learn to drive properly and I'm helping.

  2. My point being the double dashed line is a definitive instruction to give way. The single line might not be.

    No, definitely boobs I downloaded the cab cams for research purposes :thumbsup:

    I could do the same with the car driver today, but it’s probably best left forgotten

  4. Well Spain is a nation of tailgaters
    If you gun it to increase the gap then they stay there, so a jab on the brakes usually does it
    They don’t like that nipper o_O

    If you knew he was going to do that Malc you could of forced him up the embankment or down it, or rearrange his front bumper ...then flicked him a V .

    You know that old lorry driver saying Ewan

    Boobs are worth it ‘ dicks’ aren’t!’

    I changed a word there and substituted it with boobs, I’m sure you can work out the proper saying ;)

    Trouble is Malc when they enter the motorway and you can see them coming on ...there is no way you can speed up like in a car so they can nip in behind you , and it's to dangerous to brake and you always have to assume there is someone up your arse .
    It's easier for cars to do the speed up or slow to enter ...simple looking in advance with mirrors as soon as you enter the slip road .

    In France it is the opposite
    In france i think it's the opposite ..The signs say before the slip road enters the motorway ...give way to vehicles entering motorway ...mind you that was 20 years ago .
    I think there are dangers with both systems .

  11. As an ex-Hemel Hempsteadian, I should be offended by that. But I will agree that these days it's a sh1tehole inhabited by Junior Regional Managers driving Audis.

    Never used to be like that.

  12. PS It's not actually the real A41, is it? The real one goes through Apsley.

    or better still a single flash of the hazards so you don't actually slow down but they think you have :thumbsup:

  15. Driving in Italy is just as bad, driving a hired Fiat 500 doing the legal limit in a town with speed cameras with an Artic on your bumper knowing he cannot see you brake lights, I know he can see over the top of you but will he spot the cyclist or pedestrian that may dash across
    I doubt it.
    I have a policy of It only takes two seconds

    To slow and give way

    Allow a driver to pull out of a side road into the main stream of traffic

    To let a pedestrian cross

    Say thank you

    Hold a door open for someone

    There are many other 2 second actions
    Let's face we can all afford 2 seconds in our lives and you get that feel good feeling

  18. No never had the misfortune but I do enjoy driving abroad a challenge sometimes.
    Driving Tilly on the Autobahn is great fun dodging in and out of the trucks then finding a a Merc or Porsche filling your rear view mirror.
