When you pull over for an ambulance/fire engine/police car, then once it's passed the people behind you overtake you or don't let you back out?

WTF?  :groan
Ahhhhhh this is spot on, whats wrong with these people - I was right infrount of them they saw me pull over for the blues knowing im not just someone who was parked.

On the same subject - those who panic when bules come from behind. Its a wide enough road for them to pull to the side and yet they swerve and mount the pavement over kerb scattering pedestrians.

Happened to me again on the way to work this morning, then unfortunately further up the road I caught up with the police car and an ambulance who were attending to a crashed biker on the pavement.  Sad

What got my goat tonight was the following:


1) sitting in the cage at a roundabout trying to get out of Canterbury tonight.  Traffic very slow.  Im in left hand lane to go straight on.  CAr coming round on inside lane, indicating right, my spider sense tells me he's going straight on, but I decide to pull out, as I would be entitled to given his road positioning and indication, he's gloing about 10 mph so happy we can both stop.  And YEP, I was right, he was going straight on, still indicating right as he crosses lanes to go straight on, he then sits on his horn pissed off at me for "pulling out in front of him"!  TWAT!  It's times like that I want to stop the car and very calmly explain that indicating right on the inside lane means he's going round and not pulling off and actually he was in the wrong, not me.  Not worth it though.


2) driving through Faversham on the A2 bloke behind me talking on his phone and smoking a fag!  Great multitasking skills I suppose, driving, smoking and using a phone  :\ [size=78%], [/size][/size]but what a twat!!![size=78%]

in Liverpool city centre yesterday and in lane 1 of 2 on a dog leg right waiting at lights. Old bint in cage in L2, lights change and we both move, road changes into 3 lanes with me automatically in L2 and she cuts across me so I go into L1, she cuts across me again and lights go red. I go into L2 and ask her why she's cut me up twice?
I don't know where I'm going she said............

Always quite fancied being one of those --- would do it for free, looks like proper fun, --- they seem to be held together with duct tape !

Absolutely inconsiderate bastards who ride towards me whilst I'm walking on the pavement and then expect me to jump into the road so they can use the pavement as their own cycleway.
Oh and the feckin horsey set who do the same.
Oh and the horsey set who let their steeds shit a small mountain in the middle of the pavement for the rest of us to avoid. Not easy if you've got a buggy and don't like playing chicken with speeding vehicles. I'm going for a lie down. ✊
Never underestimate the ingenuity of an idiot!

The labels "lovingly made" or "proudly made" on the side of many products now a days, it is even on a packet of margarine!


I realise that they cannot put the truth "slapped together as cheaply as possible by clock watching minimum wage drudges who cannot wait until 5 to get the hell out" or "made with the cheapest crap we could find and blended with chemicals to make it taste right" or We hope this doesnt kill or injure you but it was made as cheaply as possible so all bets are off"


Maybe just leave the blatant lies off and leave us to reading the normal "healthy" or "low fat" lies whilst pretending it doesnt really mean "shit storm of chemicals"

I think they should go back to the original ingredients and slap 'Not to be eaten by fat bastards' on the side of the packet.

Complete fabrication, I didn't make it up!

Those traffic light sensor strips in the road that detect when you go over them. Only thing is sometimes me and my bike dont seem heavy enough to set them off and I end up sitting there watching the sequence go over and over each time bypassing me, until a car comes behind me and instantly gets me a green light.

I have taken to going very slow and diagonally over them to get my full weight on them, I have even reversed back over and bounced up and down to get a light change

I didn't think it was weight, thought it was magnetic......

sorry no pics from me but must have the boys and girls viewing the traffic cams a head scratcher.

So are they pressure or magnetic - either way they sometimes dont work and my antics seems to get them to
