em i work in traffic management ( the cnuts who put cones out to pis you off! )
LANE 1 = normal driving lane
LANE 2 = overtaking lane
LANE 3 = overtaking lane
THERE IS NO SLOW LANE OR FAST LANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wooooosaaaaaaaaaaaaa.!
Totally agree with you mate, the
extra lanes on a motorway are for overtaking!
Actually there is a slow lane and fast line in the f*cking highway code everywhere else in the world and peoples obey's it, it's just the british public has been indoctrinated into thinking it does not exists ! I would make the driving test as hard as a university exam like in germany then tossers would not sit in the fast lane doing the "legal" speed limit. If someone wants to overtake you as you're moving slower than him just move over and let them pass. Some poor drivers are afraid to get off the fast lane as they don't know how to look properly in the mirrors hence they look over their shoulders. Flashing is illegal so you're supposed to put your indicators on and sit paciently behind the car in front untill it's clear and safe to move over, when you have a big merc or bmw doing 250km/h glued up your ar8se you'll move sharpish out of the way, i tell ! you And don't get me strted with the cones...
No offence bud but how long ago was your license issued to you? i say this as nowadays you need to do a theory test where you need to learn that in
THIS COUNTRY there is no Fast and slow lanes! I passed about 8 years ago and i clearly remember when i was on my driving lessons i was warned about going onto the middle lane for no reason when there wasnt a car to overtake as an examiner can fail you for it! I have made this point too many times over the last 8 years and have always been backed up by instructors. Yes other countries may have a slow and fast lane but we live in this country with the crappy 3rd world roads.
On the point of slow drivers on wrong lanes... well now you have me started!
yes it probably is true that people around london are hot headed drivers and too damn right we should be! you should see the idiots that drive on these roads! last night i was 'bombing' it down the A406 (north circular) towards the A13 to get to the Dartford crossing and home... some stupid prat in a punto or fiesta (honestly can't remember or be bothered to) was toddling along in the right lane. there were no cars to his left and i had plenty of opportunity to undertake but i didnt want to... so as i approached him he clearly didnt care until i had to slow right down behind him and flashed him... he then slams his brake, moves over and shows me a finger!
im like WTF!!!! it wasnt personal at him that i wanted him to move so whats with the childish gestures?? needless to say i made the next 5 minutes for him difficult
and then put my foot down again and continued my way home.
I either drive on the left side of the road and just undertake idiots that stick to the middle lane as i dont see the point in changing 2 lanes to go around them when they cannot be bothered to drive properly or just drive on the right lane and bomb it!
Also yesterday in the day (this one is so dumb!) im driving in west london heading towards park royal from feltham, driving along a dual carriageway and stopped at a traffic light. There was a blue car in front and a red pickup to the left of me. the road ahead goes into a single lane straight after the traffic light so we had to move into a single file. the blue car pulls away from the lights maintaining a 5mph speed (already annoying me) and the red pickup tries to nudge me out the way... i put my foot down and get in front of the red pickup and plan to overtake the blue car and continue at a normal speed of 40mph (current road limit) as im tired of driving at 10mph. the red pickup now decides to try and overtake me whilst i am pulling out to over take the blue car and starts to flash me??? anyway i leave them all behind and carry on driving up the road. get to the next set of lights and the red pickup cuts me up and gets out the car... now the missus starts to panic and tell me to get out of there whilst i am trying to understand what made this guys day so bad that he wants to start on random people on the road?? (honestly could not understand what was up his **** so bad that he acted this way... probably just having a really bad day!)
so i drove around his car and left him standing in the middle of the road shouting his head off, only to see in the mirror that he then started on the blue car when it horned at him to get out of the road... he slammed down on the blue car bonnet with his palms. Blue car driver was not impressed as he then cut up the red pickup and got out... i was too far at this point to care what happened and continued driving to park royal to finish off the lovely day i was having with my lady!
Rant over
feels good getting that out
