When there is an accident on the motorway...

[soulman]

And you come across as the kind of cunt<snip>

An angry driver like you is a fucking liability to other road users. You shouldn't be allowed near a motorway without resitting your test now.

*sigh* just because someone hit you with a pointed bit of criticism doesn't make it clever when you then turn round and regurgitate the same criticism back at them.

I'm not an angry driver - that's a good way to be a crap driver. Possibly even better than not looking in your mirrors, then rolling your eyes at the shitstorm of criticism you get for boasting about it.

Now, before you get too much further into your frenzy of self-justification, perhaps you'd like to take a deep breath, go back and read your post about looking in the mirror, and ask yourself - honestly - if you really can't see why several people (including one pretty experienced police officer) might not actually have a point. Because what we've got going on now looks like someone huffing and puffing because he's made a silly mistake in posting, which probably doesn't even represent the way he drives, but he's too damn proud to admit it.

If you truly are the sort of driver you're now blustering about being, then all the criticism you've had in the last dozen or so posts is justified. But I'm sure you're not THAT bad, otherwise you probably would have had an accident by now, so maybe you're just not doing yourself any favours...

Yeah yeah yeah, you and the apprentice the police officer can drop to your knees and kiss my hairy arse.

You are a charmless piece of crap, aren't you?

I'll refrain from the hairy arse kissing, all the same. I've never met you, but I just know you're not my type

 

[pogofish]

No matter what you might think, the lifesaver is a particularly valuable observation which has stood me in good stead on two wheels & four for many years. Because, unless you have umpteen mirrors the size of canoe-paddles, you can't hope to know everything going-on around you & a quick glance is often that final bit of info that lets you know you have missed something or that another road-user has done something quite unexpected since you last checked them.

Seems you missed it when I said use it and make constant use of my mirrors so I know where other drivers are...

 

[citygirl]

now look what ya gone n done PtG

you naughty little brownie, you

Yeah yeah yeah, you and the apprentice the police officer can drop to your knees and kiss my hairy arse.

what exactly would be the problem in accepting that a better way of driving would be to always check the blind spot regardless of what you think or think you 'know' is there do those extra 3 seconds make that much difference to your life?

I just wonder why any driver would thin this to be fools errand advice?

What driver thinks it is eh?

 

[snadge]

The blind spot is called that because it is....

you need to look over your shoulder to see it.

if you rely on your mirrors you are an idiot.

intresting althoguh you have attempted to constue the second queston as attack but totally failed to answer the first question do give it a go and then i'll comment...

(Little cunt blamed me entirely and said he was stationary, and that I drove into him. But then the same little cunt claimed a total write-off on his Megane and 3 x whiplash injuries for the 3 people in the car. Karma's going to get him...)

Bit late now, but ifyou managed to break his reversing lights whilst they were on, forensic science could have been your friend - microscopically the filaments change when exposed to the air (the moisture in it I think, whilst glowing white hot) - often used by traffic collision investigators to show whether or not indicators were being used.

Moral of story: If that is a possibility, insist on calling the police and ask them to seize the broken lights as evidence - if they have never heard of this, suggest they contact a traffic officer for advice.

They scurried off to a nearby wagon with 2 coppers having a cup of tea. All that got us was a producer each, and a "never seen nuffin', mate", only in a Welsh accent. All a bit of a shame *shrug*

 

[detective-boy]

I doubt it son. I've never had an accident, or caused one.

Seen a few in your rear view mirrors (whilst "constantly checking them") though, I bet ...

 

[detective-boy]

... those extra 3 seconds ...

Three milliseconds more like!

 

[GarfieldLeChat]

i was beign generious innit, still i notice the question remain unanswered, by soulman...

 

[Sigmund Fraud]

I always thought 'the lifesaver' was an over the shoulder visual check not using mirrors...at least thats what they told me when I took my motorbike training man yyears ago.

That is correct, the blind spot is caused by just relying on mirrors.


It is amazing how many people who think just because they use their mirrors they are covering the blind spot.

They aren't.

Trouble is, it's mostly motorcycle riders that "get" this, once used it never goes away, the lifesaver has helped me many a time before pulling out, exposing someone in that very blind spot that my mirrors miss.

Anyone that refuses to do it should have their fucking license revoked.

intresting althoguh you have attempted to constue the second queston as attack but totally failed to answer the first question do give it a go and then i'll comment...

As you are having difficulty understanding basic sentence structure I've highlighted it for you. This was in response to pogofish commenting on use of the 'lifesaver'

Seems you missed it when I said use it and make constant use of my mirrors so I know where other drivers are...

As for construing anything you post as an attack I can assure you that you give yourself far too much credence.

 

[pogofish]

This?

I do, but because I constantly check my mirrors I know if someone is hovering in my blindspot.

However, as Pembrokestephen pointed-out straight after & you then clearly took-issue with, that won't cover you in all circumstances.

 

[pogofish]

Anyone that refuses to do it should have their fucking license revoked.

Intrestingly, I've had police use this as a reason to pull-me over before now. "You only need to do that on a bike, not in a car" The next question was "you do have a car licence & insurance, do you?" & a producer.

Mind you another time, I also got "you don't have to indicate on a roundabout when there is no other traffic to see you" to which my reply "there was another vehicle - you" got me more lip, another producer & a breath test.

 

[nonamenopackdrill]

maybe I'm being unfair, and maybe, one day, I'll eat my own words...but I fail to see how a vaguely sentient human can crash his/her car on a fucking motorway. Normal road, roundabout, crossroads, hair pin bend, blind corner, yeah. But not a straight run.

We can only hope.

 

[GarfieldLeChat]

As you are having difficulty understanding basic sentence structure I've highlighted it for you. This was in response to pogofish commenting on use of the 'lifesaver'

ok don't be upset by this then but you should have your licence removed forthwith... you are in violation of the highway code and therefore are drving with out due care and attention and could be considered to be guilty of dangerous driving by only relying on your mirrors indeed the highway code state the following....

137:

• All mirrors should be used effectively throughout your journey. You should
• use your mirrors frequently so that you always know what is behind and to each side of you
  
• use them in good time before you signal or change direction or speed
  
• be aware that mirrors do not cover all areas and there will be blind spots.
  
• You will need to look round and check.

ok so now are we all clear as to why you are a BAD driver

a BAD driver. would say the following

because I constantly check my mirrors I know if someone is hovering in my blindspot.

you simply cannot ever Know you can be confident that there is nothing in your blind spot however it being a blind spot a spot to which you are with out knowledge and are blinded to (i think you can work out the naming convention here) you do not know until you look there...

ok no attacks on you here simple common sense.

so pelase start doing it before you ruin that track record of yours you are so proud of and kill someone, becuase you have had a pretty long time line so far, and it will run out, with the likely occurence that it will not be you who is severly injured because of a failure to do so...



ok get that...

That shouldn't be a problem if you have a license.


personaly I have a problem with the license malarky full stop.

he's right, to be fair.

 

[pogofish]

By that time, I was getting heartilly sick of being stopped on the thinnest excuses & having certain officers try their hardest to find something/anything to book me on.

They never did!

Hovever, on the few instances I might have needed their assistance, where were they....?

I highlighted it for you and still you're incapable of understanding what I posted. I won't bother wasting my time on you any more. Comprende?
