Guest Posted 12 September 2009 Posted 12 September 2009 They are for women who never seem to look ahead, assess the traffic and decide how best to proceed but instead drive straight up to the roundabout, then look, then decide what to do thus defeating the whole object of a roundaout which is to keep the traffic flowing.I accept that there are a few whizz-kid women drivers who manouevre their stylish new motors like Formula 1 dodgems but, generally, at least from my observations, women have no sense of anticipation whatsoever. Must be the effects of thousands of years spent in the company of men. I am so glad that misogyny hasn't gone out of fashion. Women are shit at driving. Hmmm.
stez Posted 13 September 2009 Posted 13 September 2009 I had the biggest dick of a white van man behind me the other day, on the A1 Northbound between Retford and Worksop the A1 drops from 70 to 50mph speed camera cash frenzy, or accident prevention scheme I believe they call it and you get warning signs 50mph in half a mile, 50mph in quarter of a mile etc was driving along at 70mph in the inside lane and could see this dick in a white flatbed truck behind that had a car on the back anyway at the quarter of a mile sign I slowed down a little between 60-65mph getting ready for the 50mph zone in my mirrors could see this idiot waving his arms around in the car, making willy puller signs, flashing his lights, getting right up my arse etc because I had slowed down slightly anyway got to the 50mph zone doing the speed limit and this dick behind is clapping and then proceeds to leave the junction about 100m down the round. I mean talk about over reaction for a white van man that sort of aggressive driving designed to intimidate other round users is just plain moronic probably the wrong thing to do, but i tend to slow down even more, perhaps to 49mph. it annoys me that people like that expect everyone to know every single bit of road in the uk, and not have to slow down a bit incase you miss a turning, or you're not aware of bends etc in the road..... or, and i know thracian won't accept this, you may need to drive to the conditions, which may invovle driving less that the posted speed limit
Tommeh Posted 13 September 2009 Posted 13 September 2009 Behind driving in London, doing the magic roundabout is the scariest thing I've done driving, its ridiculous but so much fun. And I never indicate at roundabouts but get pissed off when others don't. Swings and roundabout.
Trumpet Posted 13 September 2009 Posted 13 September 2009 What about when you indicate to do a complete U-turn on a mini-roundabout and the wank*r coming across thinks you're signalling to go straight on?! That grinds my gears.

Part Of The Crowd Posted 13 September 2009 Posted 13 September 2009 what on earth is that?is it like this thing in Swindon? if so just looks insane to me!! That's the one, it looks a bit like a Swastica. Living near MK for pretty much my entire life until now I have got bloody good at driving on roundabouts (and modest). I get annoyed when people don't indicate correctly and make you stop only to see them get off the exit before you and have to start again. Not massively annoyed but sufficiently to be noticeable.
Asha Posted 14 September 2009 Posted 14 September 2009 The best roundabout in the world is the Champs-Elysees. Definately, I agree. Stood there watching for ages, was hilarious. No system or routine at all, just cars all over the place all facing different directions. Was brilliant

No system or routine at all, just cars all over the place all facing different directions. Was brilliant Trying to cross it on foot - as I did - is even more fun. Subways are for wimps.
Katy Posted 14 September 2009 Posted 14 September 2009 Everyone else in the world is shit and I am the only person who can drive properly. The rest of you should rip up your licenses and insert them anally.Apart from people like Lisa who give me lifts once in a while. You are all ace. And Fi. Ok Women are shit at driving. You're shit at watching football
