Re: Imagine you're on your bike...
 

Sorry that don't count as a hitler thread IMO, it was tucked away in a regional thread where not many people from other regions would read.

It's fair game in IB though ;)

Re: Imagine you're on your bike...
 

In your defense, you aren't likely to look in the Ecosse section though ;)

Re: Imagine you're on your bike...
 

Yep, jus now was the first time!

Re: Imagine you're on your bike...
 

Thulfi, thank you for posting that, quite shocking driving. I don't read the Ecosse piece either. I'd like one of those cameras in my car.

Only a woman!

You know ive watched this a few times now, this person should be fined heavily and made to re-take their test, this is shocking driving.
A car or anything else hitting it instead of a lorry would a DBDD charge.

You cannot go down a slip road exit the wrong way easily as someone else said, it just baffles my mind how little brain matter some people seem to lack.

Like the young asian woman at an island last sunday while me and the wife were turning right on the bike, she's coming from opposite direction, makes no attempt to stop before her white line coming up to the island, goes over by a few metres, see's me,brakes then puts her hand up, then carries on, completely cutting me up, luckily i had anticipated it so had slowed right down.
I cant see how these people pass a test.

Re: Imagine you're on your bike...
 

A fine an a re-sit? I'd like to thnk she'd be disqualified for a while after that! What a frigging idiot!! (The girl on the video that is)

Re: Imagine you're on your bike...
 

20yr girl on video...coming onto a slip road and fudged it royally! go home or learn to drive without killing people.

mbk, not all gals have as much training as u! and u gta sort em out and lay down the law!

Re: Imagine you're on your bike...
 

LOL! Even before I had any further training I still knew not to go down a NO EXIT road....most slip roads are clearly marked - I repeat - WHAT A FRIGGING lucky IDIOT!

Re: Imagine you're on your bike...
 

What I saw in the video was utter stupidity, and from my daily experience of riding there are too many people out there who are just as bad, how the fudge do these people obtain a driving licence? Seriously?

Re: Imagine you're on your bike...
 

The vast vast majority of drivers on the road pass a driving test then never do another minute of training. The vast vast majority don't drive down slip roads the wrong way.

Further training is only even a consideration in the conversation, because we are all bikers and in biking it's a common topic, and because your talking to a copper.

That woman is an idiot.

Re: Imagine you're on your bike...
 

Have you seen some of the people who are "qualified" Learner driver teachers.

Saw a black girl the other day, sitting in the outside lane, nothing else around, and then she gave ME a weird look when I undertook her.

And she was an instructor..........

South East is awful for it. Seems anyone around london doesn't get dual carrageway tuition (so I guess they jsut "skip it" at the test centre), so when it comes to driving outside a city, they fail on epic proportions. And thats just the instructor. What chance have the retarded students got?

Re: Imagine you're on your bike...
 

I was cycling to work the other morning, coming up to a set of lights there was a queue of traffic ahead turning right moving slower than I was. I was probably 40 yards away from this queue of traffic when a learner driver went past me, then cut in front of me to go straight on at the lights, past the traffic queing to turn right. enough room for a car to get past but not a car and a bike. I had to get on the brakes hard to avoid going into the back/side of the learner car. I think it was a student driving, but even so the instructor should have made sure that they didnt put me in that position.

darwin award winner

Re: Imagine you're on your bike...
 

She's not eligible. Darwin awards are only given to those who are sufficiently stupid to remove themselves from the gene pool - usually by killing themselves, though self-sterilisation can also count.

Re: Imagine you're on your bike...
 

she is, she would be dead if the trucker had not swerved to miss her, witch contributed to the truck rolling over, imo.

+1

I live on a T-junction (either side of the give way are parked cars), some clown had their learner doing a parallel park manoeuvre on to the junction!!!!! What if someone was coming up that road? (they probably would've had to wait until the learner finished the manoeuvre check their performance and pull off to clear the junction) lol

I've also seen a learner being instructed to go the wrong way up a one way system because an ambulance was blocking the correct route, personally I done a u-turn and chose a different way off the estate... But hey I haven't done any further training, maybe that is what's taught once you are good a enough driver.
