Rule 145 of the highway code.

145: Do not hold up a long queue of traffic, especially if you are driving a large or slow moving vehicle. Check your mirrors frequently, and if necessary, pull in where it is safe and let traffic pass.

Cool....never knew that......although I did guess something must exist as linc-y tractors always seem to quite happily pull over at the sight of a fed in his patrol car and let the 150 cars that have been following him for the last hour or so go past...

Will quote that rule the next time I shunt some doddering f..k off the road .....:PDT_Xtremez_30:

Funny to note that the two ladies that posted, NOP and Mr M, (sorry Monobrow) admit to "racing round the local backroads" HOW FERKIN DANGEROUS IS THAT! No matter how good you think you are, male or female, if a tractor/lorry/cow/motorcyclist comes round that corner at a rate of knots, you will hit him regardless of "how well you know the road" Its not the road that kills you, it's the others on it. I have had 2 accidents in the last few years. On both occasions whilst travelling on back roads and caused by a; A white van and b: a Tractor. On both occasions I was travelling at the speed required for the conditions, had I not been, I wouldn't have had the 2nd accident, the first would have killed me! I am merely pointing out the many women I have seen driving inappropiratley, I admit many men are cnuts behind the wheel as well.


Sorry stax, probably didnt explain myself there properly. I dont go over the speed limit (normally a 60mph) but i dont drive round them like some people at 40mph! I know which turns need a little tap on the brakes to make it round safely etc etc.

The funny thing though, about 90% of the time, if im stuck behind someone going slow you can almost guarentee that they live in the village, anyone actually doing the speed limit nearly always turns up towards the base!! Go figure.

Number plate to make driving better!

Number plate to make driving better!

I've got the numberplate 'Wg Cdr' (W9 CDR) for sale on certificate if you're interested? It'll make your driving more fun as you get uneasy looks from all the people you pass who wonder if they should salute or not...

Now, don't get me started on caravans...
 
Rule 145 of the highway code.

Unfortunately the highway code isn't law.

You should see panic set in when you come up behind them with sirens and lights on !!! Fook me... they start weaving !
Came up behind 3 cars the other day, was 2 blokes with a woman in the middle. The guys see us coming move over, the woman tries to overtake the front car !!!!!!! How can you not see a white van with 4 sets of blues, alternating headlights and making a bloody racket ?

Well I wouldn't tell her but my wife is a good driver (she can even reverse park) - although I always drive when we are both in the car. No particular reason, I just prefer driving and she prefers sleeping I suppose.

OK I take it back. Today I think she thought I must have been in the car when she was toodling off to Sainsburys (cos its pay day). Anyway she must have fallen asleep going out of the main gate cos she sliced the nearside wing mirror off with the barrier post.
(£54.88 from wingmirrorman.co.uk). So, as it was only hanging on by the wires she came straight home. No wing mirror and no food!

Then, to cap it all, when I get home she says the mother-in-law is coming to stay.

What a fantastic day...............
