It's here. I was right where the merc is in the picture. The narrow bit is 50 yards long max. Had he stopped and waited like everyone else does instead of screaming at me and then squeaking past, he'd have been through quicker. We're talking a ten second wait.


Had you been driving a Range Rover Sport yon Audi twat would have yielded and let you pass.

Something for all on this thread to ponder.
 
But seriously, what is it with Audis?. They just seem like regular cars to me, why do people drive them like that compared to a merc for example?

Audi driver...


Banned for drug driving, leaves the court, jumps in the motor and hoofs it up to >140mph with the filth in pursuit. Outrageous behavior and will get stomped on, mostly for the taking the piss out of the court.
 
Is it just me, but nearly every time I notice a conventional scooter on the road, it's because the rider has their feel off the pegs and almost skimming the ground ... ?
Anyone know what that's about ?
It must be bloody uncomfortable as well as dangerous...

I had a Honda 50 and a Lambretta in the past and never felt the need ...

It certainly seems to be a thing with food delivery riders. But then those guys aren’t usually much concerned with safety.
 
In paris they're voting on rental scooters today.
I half-listened to a programme the other day that argued that most users would otherwise be using public transport or walking and that they are a nett loss to the environment,

Almost 90% have voted to ban them. It’s not binding though so there’ll probably be loads of appeals.
 
Nearly hit twice on two mile commute home. Was in cycle lane on both occasions, wearing hi vis, but both drivers wanted to drive through me turning onto the main road. One Audi (on phone), one Ford for stats fans. Think I might invest in a camera.

I'd look into whether your local filth actually respond to cam footage. Some do, some don't. If yours doesn't, save yourself the cost and hassle I reckon. Although you might be able to shit up a couple of arsehole drivers by pointing at your camera after they've done something dodgy. An old colleague of mine rode with an empty camera shell on her helmet for that very purpose.
 
Coming back down the A3 earlier there was a bike with two up on it. I had to take a closer look, and sure enough, they were somewhere carrying two pushbikes on the nearside 😱 That's a new one on me.

Just read this - he was driving home and presumably the Police had his address - his level of stupidity is outstanding .
 
Would that not warrant an awareness course?
Or has he got form? (always wondered if he was a wrongun)

Some forces don’t offer it if you’re done in a 20 zone. Or, as you suggest, he’s done one recently.

Either way, Sadiq Khan should have his liver cut out and fed to dogs.

Still, the old boy clearly wasn't paying attention, even less so as this is his 'local' speed camera, and not exactly hidden from view

20 mph LOL.jpg

Whenever I've travelled on that road, pretty much 100% of traffic around me has always being going above 20 mph. But most drivers have the common the sense to decelerate to 21- 22 mph as they go past the camera, before returning to their previous, appropriate safe speed for the road and conditions in question.
