  1. As i said, it's fine if you're overtaking a line of slower moving vehicles. My OP was aimed at those, and you have admitted to doing it, who REMAIN in the middle lane when lane 1 is CLEAR. Further quote for you then... "Three-lane motorway - you should stay in the left-hand lane unless you need to overtake slower moving traffic. To do this you should use the middle lane. If you need to overtake several vehicles then stay in the middle lane. There is no need to weave in and out of the left-hand lane as you overtake individual vehicles."
  2. If you're overtaking a line of slower moving vehicles then, fine, you should have been told that during your lessons surely. And you don't p*ss me off because i know i'm a better driver than you and I have proof if you want it.
  3. From 2pass.co.uk a site for learner drivers... "When you are on the main carriageway of the motorway, remain in the first lane until you get used to the speed. If you need to overtake you must return to the first lane as soon as possible but only if its safe to do so! Many motorists try to stay in the overtaking lanes for normal driving. This is bad practice and causes inconvenience and tailbacks and annoys other users" From yougov.com travel and transport section... "You should always drive in the left-hand lane when the road ahead is clear. If you are overtaking a number of slower-moving vehicles, you should return to the left-hand lane as soon as you are safely past"
  4. No it's not for the reasons I stated already, apart from that it's in violation of the Highway Code and shows ignorance and inconsideration for other road users.No doubt the driver who was flashing his lights thought you were being inconsiderate in forcing him to perform an unneccessary manouver to overtake you. The fact that he was over the speed limit is no excuse for your position on the road.
  5. People driving on motorways staying in lane 2. FFS... anything other than lane 1 is for OVERTAKING... return to lane 1 as soon as it's safe to do so. Staying in lane 2 means anyone travelling faster in lane 1 has to cross 2 lanes in order to overtake. Undertaking is still illegal under Road Traffic Law. Drivers who use only their sidelights in fog or at night. FFS USE YOUR HEADLIGHTS. You won't get charged extra on your electricity bill and you might just avoid an accident or KILLING SOMEONE Foglights are meant for use in POOR VISIBILITY i.e. visibility less that 100 metres Rule 133 of the current Highway Code states: - 'Use fog lights when visibility is seriously reduced’ This generally means when you cannot see for more than 100 metres (328 ft). You MUST NOT use fog lights at other times'. Remember to switch them off when visibility improves Drivers who have their headlight bulbs incorrectly fitted resulting in one beam being on full, dazzling oncoming traffic. Most people will fit thier own headlight bulbs but FFS please just check they are seated correctly, thats all it is. Ensure the locating pins on the bulbs base are correctly seated in the recess in the headlight casing. The squeal of a knackered water pump... worse than fingernails on a blackboard.. just buy some stuff from Halfords as a temporary cure. (other automotive parts shops are available) Thank You

  15. NO HE CAN'T Quote from Comedy Central.co.uk "Michael McIntyre’s 2012 tour could generate a whopping £20 million making it a strong contender to be the UK’s largest ever tour. Last week tickets went on sale for the Comedy Roadshow star’s 58 date arena tour which doesn’t even kick off until August next year and more dates are expected to be announced as tickets are inevitably snapped up. The Guardian writes that McIntyre will entertain over 600,000 people in the UK’s biggest venues including London’s O2 Arena, Wembley and Manchester’s MEN Arena. ‘It’s certainly one of the biggest UK comedy tours ever announced, and probably the biggest tour announced in one go,’ a spokesman for McIntyre said and added: ‘It is likely there will be a number of extra shows as we go on.’ However he still has to surpass Lee Evans who takes his Roadrunner show on tour this year for a 66-date run and also Peter Kay who is in the midst of a two-year tour which will see him reach 750,000 fans. Will he go for another record? He’s already twice broken the record for the fastest-selling stand-up DVD and he’ll probably do it again when this one’s released!" Also... Quote It seems the British public’s interest in comedy is on the up as Micky Flanagan was the top artist driving traffic to ticketing websites in the UK last week. Hitwise reports that in the week ending 22nd January, the Cockney comedian proved more popular than Michael McIntyre, Lee Evans and Peter Kay for users searching for comedy gig tickets Frankie Boyle wishes... .
  16. Yeah, and they keep on with the same old tag-line.. "playing the greatest music variety (variety ???) for the great East Midlands" every 10 minutes, it DRIVES ME MADDD I tell you, MADDD. Stop patronising us, shut the fook up and play some proper music. It might as well be Rihanna FM, They aren't presenters they're just bland, unintelligent, souless, nobodies with no music knowledge robotically churning out the company mantra. I'm not saying all radio stations dont plug themselves on air but this one of the worst with no decent product to back it up. Just SHITE radio EH????
  17. You gotta be kidding, right... the smallest playlist on radio with the worst presenters ever... Same songs, different days Drivel, radio for morons (no offence)
  18. Motorbikes can be great I have no doubt. Just BE SENSIBLE. I have been to 2 fatal incidents involving motorbikes in the last month or so, one a mature guy the other a younger chap, both messy beyond imagination one involved speed and a tractor in the countryside, the other a serious misjudgement with an artic on a main road, Be SENSIBLE... please
  19. Sick and not funny
  20. Which makes the discs and pads worth more than the car
  21. Hope it's not a French car, my Renault Espace cost me £535.. it needed a new handbrake cable and the petrol tank has to be drained and removed because the cable runs over the top of it...I hate everything about it ... Merde..
  22. And then, when you've been really careful and used masking tape, when you peel it off it pulls paint off with it... FFFF***CCKK
  23. GoodGrief!!! Thats dreadful, I truly hope it doesn't result in any lasting physical damage but I know the psychological effects will be long term and difficult. She's gonna need a VERY understanding set of friends who are important to her and who know her well, you included I assume. Make sure she understands NONE of it was her fault. It's gonna be a long haul for her, I'm afraid. If the police were involved I hope they were sympathetic, they're generaly pretty good (my daughter was a victim of sexual assault when she was 14. They were ok but just felt functional) She must feel absolutely shocked and humiliated but it's not of her own making. These c**ts should be neutered without anaesthetic
  24. I think there is something lacking in your life
