Scary Bear Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 f**k off. And make sure you stay in the inside lane unless you're actively overtaking. Oh come on! There’s that much slow moving traffic and lorries on the road that you’d be in and out the fast lane (or middle lane) all the time. Far easier to just hog the middle lane or fast lane while going 70 mph. Give any angry people who tailgate you a smile and a wee wave and keep in that lane for a few more minutes before pulling in to the slow lane briefly, but only if you feel like it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightswoodBear Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 That the Art School now seems to be referred to solely as "The Mack" by the BBC now. I've never heard it called that before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I dislike the w****r drivers who still drive at 40mph up my street, even though it’s meant to be 20mph now. There are signs up, there are kids playing on the pavement, but no, they can’t even be fucked changing in any way. Not even by reducing down to 30mph. I blame that curly haired nonce Clarkson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I'd be hoping you'll be playing with god soon if you did that in front of me.Generally I do pull in. I’m quite a courteous driver. I use my mirrors and keep aware of what’s happening. What I find fascinating is the behaviour of people on three lane (or 4 lane) motorway, such as on the M74. People seem reluctant to use the third lane for overtaking. Not sure why, but you see them tailgating people in the middle lane rather than just using the third lane to overtake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capybara Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 That the Art School now seems to be referred to solely as "The Mack" by the BBC now. I've never heard it called that before.Its like Wimbledon is SW19. Must be the only sports venue that is referred to by the 1st part of its post code. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like when West Ham were in their last season at Upton Park and the BBC, amongst others, decided that it had to be referred to as the Boleyn Ground. Admittedly that was it's proper name, but not one that anyone ever used in my memory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why the other two lanes are there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blame that curly haired nonce Clarkson.I like to go fast on duals/motorways when it's safe to do so. I'm not in auto pilot mode or daydreaming - just concentrating on getting to my destination as fast as possible. Not too sensible, I know. But I make a point of never doing the same in a built up area. There are a couple of 30 roads where I'll speed because it's wide open road with no parked cars and plenty of visibility. But heavily built up areas are just a no no. The prospect of killing a child due to the fact that they just ran out is genuinely terrifying. I felt like this before I had my two but now I get it even more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is something I've never understood (I appreciate you acknowledge it's not the most sensible approach here). Unless you've got a pregnant woman about to drop her wean or someone dying from severe blood loss in your car, is there really any good reason that people need to get where they're going "as fast as they can"? I've lost count of the times I've watched wankers speed by me at 80 or 90 only to get to the next junction and see them sitting at the lights in front of me. Leave in plenty of time and get there safely rather than quickly seems the most sensible option to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave in plenty of time and get there safely rather than quickly seems the most sensible option to me.80 isn't really speeding though is it...And yeah there's plenty of time when it doesn't help at all - but the percentages will show that sometimes they'll makes it through the lights ahead of you. I think it's the time wasting part I don't like. I want to get the job done as soon as possible, bit safely obviously. I think an awful lot of accidents happen when drivers are in auto pilot mode. They're not going particularly fast and concentrating on something else other than the road ahead. I've done it plenty of times myself, and that's where I tend to make stupid mistakes.When on the motorway I'm going fast but at least I'm concentrating fully. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
