Turning Right at Junctions

[Seagullible]

I say thank you. If someone doesn't do the same to me, I give a sarcastic little wave to them.

sarcastic little wave works for me. Also hate people who push through when they no they should wait, if I can I keep going and block them then justsit there till they reverse cos it was my right of way!

Also i noticed that women really don't ever say thankyou, whats that about? Even if you are meant to stop its polite to acknowledge is it not, i always do. Bitches.

What does make me laugh when some women do wave to say "thank you" is the way their hand flies up off the steering wheel and back down again in a nanosecond. They seem to think that the car will veer out of control if they don't have two hands on the wheel at all times. Come to think of it...........

Ohhh comments like that will get you nowhere! Most men drivers are worse than women anyway. They seem to like going into the back of other cars where they have driven up someones arse for 10 miles.

Why, did he have a chance then?

Major generalisation

Be careful. I may have to remove you off my Christmas card list

No. Figure of speech.

And people who pull into that safe gap that you've left between you and the car in front on a motorway.

Agree completely - as far as high speed roads are concerned.

But what about drivers who leave 100 yards of space in front of them when they are travelling in a slow moving queue of traffic?

Haven't they noticed that the reason there's a traffic jam is that delays are happening? And it's not just the junction in front of them that is congested - it's also the junction behind them? And that one of the reasons the junction behind them is congested is that there are pillocks who won't pull away from it when they have the chance - because they like to leave 100 yard gaps in the traffic.

This winds me up more than any other bit of driver behaviour I see - mainly because the smug bastards who are responsible for it seem to think that they are making some sort of contribution towards road safety. When they are doing exactly the opposite.

Okay, okay.

But i was on this road between Bear Road and Elm Grove between the allotments and had to stop to let two ladies through, neither of them said thankyou even though i had stopped for a while, just wound me up a bit.

MOST women don't say thankyou.

I agree totally with that.

It also winds me up whilst in a queue people insist on letting others out of side roads.

I know the odd one should be allowed in but I have see drivers letting 4 or 5 people out a t a time.

It is not showing consideration to the people behind them

I have already mentioned previously that Huddersfield drivers are so bad.

It is quite well known around here for drivers to suddenly stop in the middle of the road to let people out of junctions.

They have no idea of the correct right of way here

Suppose the worse is the right turning on the A23 London road at the bottom of Preston drove. As you turn right by the Brewery Tap to go up Millers road, Drivers don't move forward and que the traffic back to the previous sets of lights. Arses!
I drve on motorways alot and have people that try to cut in when a lane is closing. It says something like 800yrds 600 etc and they decide to move in at 10 yards. I never let them in and have had more that my fair share of windows down arguments. with the C word being used at an alarming rate.
Also Sunday's on the motorway are terrible. Some people should just not be allowed on the M25. An old woman driving an old wooden framed mini estate with 5 dogs inside, trying to overtake two trucks in the outside lane and I'm stuck behind her while I'm late for work. That is extreme stress, I'd need more than one set of stress balls to massage!

 

[Dropkick Turnip]

I've just thought of another one:

People who you let out of side roads that have the opportunity to let someone else out at the next side road and don't do it. That's just rude!

You're wrong about that one, Captain S.

What people should do to minimise congestion is use the available roadspace in the most efficient way. Leaving a lane empty has exactly the opposite effect. It lengthens the tailback and creates a jam at the previous junction, which has a knock-on effect on nearby side roads - which in turn causes delays to traffic that isn't even on the main road (and doesn't want to be).

Good practice is to have traffic merging properly, with alternate vehicles moving forward at the point at which the road narrowing occurs. At some sites, they are now putting up signs that instruct drivers to do it that way.

The only thing worse that those who cannot turn right at junctions are those who try to turn me left at functions.
