FK1Bairn Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Women drivers! Had to give way to one at a roundabout this morning who couldn't make her mind up which way she wanted to go before going around said roundabout with no indicators on. Then about 200 yards down the road another woman driver suddenly decide to do a 3 point turn at a junction causing other cars to slam their brakes on before she then drove off from said junction without checking anything coming from behind I would have moaned about this when I got to work but i work with a number of women, my female boss was in and I'm a shitebag! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She'll blame it on the menopause, then break a false nail, and then go home and eat 3 bars of chocolate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Seen some serious fuckwittery when I was heading to Larbert from Camelon on Sunday there. Union road takes you down to Glasgow road which was quite busy and you're limited to a left turn when you hit the bottom. The traffic was jammed up from the round about at the mariner center and there was folks turning into Union road from Glasgow road coming from both directions. Some diddy was driving along Glasgow road from Falkirk heading toward Glasgow and decided to try and do a U turn in the little stretch of road that allows folk to turn off Glasgow road, holding up all traffic as they did so. Of course said stretch of road isn't designed for U turns as it's a sharp bend in the other direction so they wound up doing a three-point turn and holding up traffic coming from all directions. I've attempt to MS Paint said blunder-fuckery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly at the one by the Copper top there is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably right and if there isn't it's probably because it should be bloody obvious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a sign at the bottom of Union Road saying no right turn. I'm not sure if there's one saying no u-turns but the layout of the junction is bloody obvious that a u-turn isn't the best idea at that junction! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Situation at these lights at Glensburgh the other day too, but not the usual fuckwits that can't understand the "2 lanes going into 3" that has been mentioned before. I was behind a car in the left lane at the lights (as per car circled), lights go green, car doesn't move. Much peeping from cars behind, including me, before the fuckwit decides to turn right from the left lane. That's a daft enough move, but actually suicidal when you know that the road they turned right into is actually the off slip of the M9 there. The daft c**t even have to zigzag round 2 Artics to get further up the sliproad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Applies both on foot and while driving. Usually wankers turning right off a main road, who can't be arsed to turn their steering wheel and just want to cut across the first 5 yds of the owner you're in 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to see anyone get hurt on the roads, but some people seem to go out their way to put themselves in danger then all get raging when someone questions there common sense. Common sense? WTF, of course cyclists have to avoid pot holes, no bikes have tyres suitable for riding over the top of them. Your car suspension or wheels can be knackered driving over one, a cyclist has no chance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You obviously don't understand the different between a 2 ton object hitting a big pothole at 60mph compared to a 100kg object having to swerve round EVERY bump that should not dissolve a tyre, but I understand this is too much for the average lycra-boy to get their head around... -6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie McSquackle Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I'd need a wee ramp before every pothole. That would make cycling and the roads in general a lot more interesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that basis, the next time your 2-tonner hits a pothole at 60 and smashes an alloy, remember that it's not the fault of the council/highways authority, but your own for not having more robust tyres! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Surely the answer is to remove these dissolvable tyres altogether and just drive or cycle on the rims. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
