Driving Standards

Are you really that thick?

He's a cyclist, so not only is he thick but he also masturbates to goat porn.

Are you? Concentrate more on the road in front of you than the screen on the dashboard

 

[Saul Goodman]

I've always found texting is pretty easy at motorway speeds. It gets a bit trickier over 100mph, but not much.

You need to learn to drive with your knees. It makes Angry Birds so much easier.

Are you? Concentrate more on the road in front of you than the screen on the dashboard

You don't need to look at the screen. You say where you want to go, and it speaks the directions to you.

 

[Orang Utan]

"Hey Google, navigate to the nearest sex toy shop"
"Ok, Plugs 'r' Us, let's go!"
It's hardly a distraction, especially compared to the thoughts running through my head on the return journey.

I use my thumbs to talk to google maps, so I would be toast. But even speaking to a computer while in charge of a vehicle is negligent.

perhaps the general rule should be to never attempt to multitask whilst in charge of a motor vehicle. And that includes using devices with one’s voice as well as one’s fingers

Stationary driver, texting, lights go green, lurches forward without looking, kills a 13 year old girl. Lolz.

That's not far from where I live. The ghost bike is still there. Since then, a number of other people have been killed in Birmingham by inattentive drivers.

What about road head?

What about it? I don’t know what that is

This was near where I live, she was related to friends of mine. Birmingham is plagued by car culture and entitled bell ends thinking that having a car gives them the right to drive however they like.

Haven't read the thread. Have we had an argument about talking to passengers yet?

Some welcone news:

Middle lane hogging targeted by national campaign

Poor lane discipline is likely to make other road users feel frustrated, while tailgating often makes other drivers feel anxious, stressed or unsafe, National Highways says.

I've always wondered why driving on motorways isn't a standard part of learning to drive, which is probably why there are so many people who don't know or understand lane discipline.

 

[chandlerp]

The lane discipline is supposed to be applied across all roads, it's just more obvious on a motorway

My local plod have been on this for a while on the A3 now, very much a good thing.

Oh and Saul Goodman & Spymaster, just noticed Mikey has 104k subscribers, according to the internet that means he gets around £70,000 a year just for reporting phone twats

I'm seeing an increasing number of outer lane hogs, never mind middle lane ones.

Fuckers driving in the outside lane when they're not overtaking and there's fuck-all to their left.

What the fuck's that about?

Yeah, plenty of that too. Excusable for an Audi as that lane is reserved for them, but lesser cars need to get the fuck back over to the loser-lanes.

I went past one of them yesterday while I was doing 70 in the inside lane. Soft cunt was doing about 65 in the outside lane and there was nobody else around.

I always pass them on the inside if there's nothing else around.

I figure if they're fucking stupid enough to be sat in the outside lane, there's no point in approaching them from behind and hoping they'll move over.

Half the time the dim twats wake-up when you pass them and move in.

 

[chandlerp]

And it's not illegal unless you're actually switching lanes to pass them.

 

[Spymaster]

And it's not illegal unless you're actually switching lanes to pass them.

It's not illegal to change lanes to do it but it's inadvisable and you could potentially get done for careless/reckless/wdca.

Obviously you shouldn't exceed the speed limit either.

 

[chandlerp]

Although changing lanes does make it into a maneuver instead of just making steady progress.

 

[spitfire]

Isn’t an inside pass allowed when the car on the outside is travelling below the speed limit or something?

I try to avoid inside passes at all costs as people over here aren’t expecting it. Will do it in extremis though.

 

[chandlerp]

It's allowed when there is congestion. Somebody travelling under the speed lmimt in the outside lane is naturally causing congestion as soon as another vehcile is around.

It would be funny if it happened, watching some genius turn six points on his license in to six years sat in a cell.
