Non Footy Chat Thread II

I don't do buses.

But SUVs on the other hand...

Yeah there's plenty of variation in roads and signs. And in drivers.

The point I was trying to make was. I wasn't in the mood today And people need to be carefull. If I was in this other persons shoes I wouldn't carry on like a trackhead. I'd say to myself, oh they didn't realise in the wrong lane... HONEST mistake. Maybe they are an anxious driver, and also maybe they are a bit loose (NOT ME) and keep a bat or hammer under the car seat.....

Signmakers aren't perfect. That's why shit changes. The terrible drivers are those who dawdle about with no awareness of others or no consideration.

No consideration? Like holding up traffic because you f**ked up, ended up in the wrong lane and didn't want to make a right turn which would inconvenience you?

Lets not pretend - you would call em a f**kin rabbit

If I knew the road it would be me at fault. But I don't know the road. Blame the engineers who designed it.

Lol blame everyone but yourself for your mistake.

That's black and white. How long is he holding up traffic if someone takes a few seconds to let him in? How did he f**k up if the lane suddenly blocked up before any signs? There's plenty of bad roads and bad drivers but I doubt this is one of them.

@hindy111 should have had his Nissan Leaf towed.

How is it a mistake if there's no sign?

There were signs on the road. Big white arrows. He said that already.

You're missing the point.

I had made an honest error and was already stressed out by that.I held up a handful of cars for 45 seconds. Big f**king whoop. By holding the horn down constantly like that what could it achieve? You are flirting with danger.
Honestly if that was Mik he would of smashed the merkin

No. I said you don't see the ARROWS untill the left lane is full of cars.

Did he? He also said there's no arrows until you get to the point the lane is full. That's pretty common.

This thread needs fact checkers.

 

[Noise]

That I agree with. And I acknowledged that it was probably accidental. However the right (considerate) thing to do would have been to suck up your error, turn right and then doubled back if there were cars behind you, regardless if they beeped for 1 or 15 seconds.

You made an honest error, started stressing out and then decided holding up traffic was the best option for you.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I have to stop going into bat for hindy.

No he said he didn't 'see' the arrows until the lane was full. There were definitely white arrows.

I agree with the principle. But there's a huge variation in roads and circumstances that impacts the degree to which a driver is at fault. And this doesn't even get a caution. There's plenty of f**kwits out there.

 

[hindy111]

I'm the red. Road doing like 70km. When see arrows to late, left lane is chocker block full.

 

[Bandwagon]

Had to do a small job today. I was in the wrong lane so needed to get into the left otherwise forced to turn right. And the old merkin behind me starts beeping me.
Not once. He just holds the horn down for 15 seconds at a time 3-4 times. Like what does he want me to do. I didn't want to be in the wrong lane or doing an electrical break down. I ended up giving the old merkin a nice big smile when he drove pass followed by the finger but I thought you old merkin.
Some people have no idea what others are going thru. This is how road rage starts.

Learn to plan ahead, if only for a few minutes.

I know for a fact lanes block up well before signs or arrows.
