19QOS19 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 On another note, that message has reminded me of a kind of OCD/safe habit I've got. When I overtake on the motorway I don't pull back in until I can see the car in my rear view mirror (as well as my wing mirror). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc got struck by lightening & it activated the flux capacitor. Also there were two DeLoreans in 1885. Doc's one in the cave with fuel & the one Marty went back with which had time circuits repaired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never try to be the arsehole who pulls back in right in front of someone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 It’s amazing how on this very thread thousands of posts have been taken up by how shite “other” people are at driving, yet apparently the very people who complain will trust all these eedjits to “do the right thing” as they fly towards them at 90mph. Just so they can save a minute or two getting where they are going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, like most folk, try to anticipate when a mistake might be made - but driving is always going to involve an element of risk. Speeding obviously increases the chance of an accident (as well as the seriousness of said accident) - but there are plenty of times when you can drive fast safely. Ultimately it's about being in complete control of the car. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately it's about being in complete control of the car. I’ll be honest. I don’t trust a single fucker when I’m on the road. I’m cautious as f**k. I think people don’t appreciate how dangerous some of the situations they are in. It’s like they’re locked in a wee ‘safe’ box where nothing can possibly go wrong. And if it does as long as it isn’t ‘my fault’ then everything is OK. My ranting on this thread is purely due to wishing everyone would realise that one little mistake can get you and others in serious problems. A girl I knew died in a car accident a year or two ago. She was an avid texter, and didn’t give a f**k about the laws on that because she ‘knew what she was doing’. Died in a head on collision with a lorry near Dumfries. As well as her family and friends the poor b*****d lorry driver has to live with that too. The laws are there for good reason, and ignoring them because you think you’re brilliant at driving shouldn’t be an option IMO. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are always absolutely tragic cases where it seems so needless and unfair, for everyone involved. I can't agree more on the use of phones. I've said it already but I think that a lack of focus and concentration is the most dangerous aspect of driving. Welshbairn is also right, that you can be in complete control of your car and still be taken out by someone else. In the end it's a percentage game, and there's always a risk - with some drivers taking much more than others. I've just realised there's nothing petty about any of this. So to get back on track my missus is currently squeezing a spot whilst lying next to me in bed. (Actually that's not petty either, it's fucking disgusting). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, how are you going to cope when she's ancient and raddled, and can't wipe her own arse anymore? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
