You never turn right on a roundabout, well not in UK

Every superhero needs a mask

That's a bra not a mask, mmmmm at his age maybe more appropriate

[QUOTE 4947248, member: 9609"]on the other hand accidents are much safer the slower you are going, I even think the highway code suggests you should always reduce speed if you feel endangered. I would never wish to antagonise the driver behind but I will moderate my speed when being tailgated, for me it makes the situation less dangerous and or the idiot behind it gives them more chance of the overtake.

I have always wished there was a signal that I could give to the vehicle behind that said - yes I know you are there and I will help you past when the opportunity arises.[/QUOTE]

On occasion I have been known to switch on my lights when being followed too closely.
Moronic tailgaters think you have braked, when you have not and drop back fairly sharpish. Tailgaters rely on predictability.
As I leave the lights on afterwards, they can't accuse me of brake checking them.

Well, The Endorser has had his first victory.

I emailed a company on Monday to complain about a driver contravening a mandatory weight limit. I kept my powder dry, didn't mention the dashcam footage. The transport director has just phoned me back to apologise, and assures me their Yorkie muncher will we severely censured.

Hear that...that's the sound of the roads being a safer place.

How do you figure that, did the driver self load? If not you should have ripped the transport manager a new one as he's responsible

If it's, for example, an artic with a trailer going over a bridge with a 7.5T limit, it's not that hard to take a reasonable guess ;-)

Ah I thought @Drago had the bathroom scales out & weighed the lorry at the side of the road

A 17.5 tonne class truck in a 7.5 tonne mandatory weight limit, it were pretty obvious. However, the bathroom scale idea sounds promising...

Manager boy apologised profusely and reassured The Endorser (tm) that the route he took was not the authorised one he'd been given.

I've thought of having cams, but I don't have enough spare time to be reporting all the asshats round Barnsley and Penistone.
I'm sure in the Highway Code it says "You MUST treat a Suzuki Swift as if it's not there".

Are they actually allowed on the road? I thought they were brochure use only

Accy's Ignis has no weight limit - trucks can drive across it as much as they like.

I haven't come across that one whilst driving my Swift yet, I've come across the one that says you must treat cyclists as if they are not there.

Been patrolling the roads today, I mean I took Lemmy to the vets, and saw no lawbreakers. My stack of DVD ROMs remains unused for another day.

Is this good or bad? How is the bar set here?

 

[Drago]

Well, saw plenty of plums but none especially outstanding. Most importantly, no tailgaters.
