TheScarf Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 i don't mind that but I do love going round someone at the back pump and reversing back onto the front pump when they're mid-fill up. A glorious rage-inducing thing. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you would just ignore a free petrol pump that you could easily access? Fair enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Just now, throbber said: Yeah I would just wait until the back pump was free and then drive to front. That's the reason you get queues at petrol stations. Folk like you refusing to drive around someone to the pump not in use. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I like the bewildered look on queuing drivers when you drive past them to fill up from the opposite side to the petrol cap. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To confirm there was no dittering about being done by me in front of him got in the car switched my engine on went to pull away and he was already side on with me. F1 rules apply in petrol stations IMO. Sounds like he was quicker than you on the pit stop, just need to be faster next time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlipperyP Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I''m not sure if I posted it on here, but over a month ago I has hit by a car which was on the wrong side of the road. I was driving a motorcycle with my son on the back at the time. Cuts n bruises for both, but the motorcycle was/is f**k (looked at the time). I was taken to hospital with my son before the police got involved. 1 month later, the driver of the car has not reported the accident with his insurance. On Monday I was told to go to the police station of the district of accident happened. Not my district and also not his (he came from Bangkok). On arrival, the insurance companies of both were in present with a police officer. I asked 'what going on?' They said 'the driver of the car is in dispute of what happened, and we are here to sort it all out NOW' Great Thai style. He never turned up!!! Police signed it off as him being a c**t. Told my insurance to fix my bike, his insurance to pay for it and if he doesn't comply with them, they will give him a wee visit. Also medical costs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're lucky - the unwritten rule in the Philippines is that the foreigner is at fault by default i.e. if you weren't here the accident wouldn't have happened. There are always plenty of folk willing to be eye witnesses in the even of an accident, even if the accident happened in the dead of night in the middle of nowhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expertise and emergency responses were ineffective and the motorcycle rider lost his life. I was heading along the A82 and got south of Drumnadrochit when the sat-nav piped up about delays and having not seen much coming north, I checked further. The tourist season and the heavy traffic on that road isn't great. Taking the A9 instead had someone who was attempting an ambitious overtake bail out just in time. No idea why they were bothering, it would have been a couple of minutes till a dual section. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drop off point outside the Bannatyne's gym in Dunfermline is always full of perked cars even though there is a huge car park 5 yards away. I wonder if they use the treadmill for 10 seconds longer to make up for the lack of walk to the gym. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginaro Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/crime/scots-pensioner-ran-over-schoolboy-27587364 A pensioner knocked a schoolboy flying over the bonnet of her car and left him in the road as she drove off to play golf. Hit and run driver Muriel McPherson told a court she knew she had struck the boy but "panicked" and fled the scene without stopping. Perth Sheriff Court was told that the former golf club captain simply drove off to make her pre-arranged tee time at Blairgowrie Golf Club. The 13-year-old boy sustained injuries, but 79-year-old McPherson has been allowed to keep driving after a sheriff decided not to ban her. The court heard how McPherson watched the boy bounce off the bonnet of her car and land on the street in front of her, but then failed to pull over. McPherson, a past captain at the club, admitted driving carelessly on Glasgow Road in Perth on 14 August 2020. She was given six penalty points and fined £400.
