Some drivers are beyond belief! - SV650.org

When you're riding a bike, you can see why some people might not see you/take into consideration a bike might be there or whatever...I guess that goes with the territory.

But when you're driving a car, and another car driver does something ridiculous, it really gets you wondering.

So I was just driving around in Milton Keynes (this happened like 10minutes ago)! For those who don't know, MK is a lot of dual carriageways, seperated by roundabouts. A lot of these dual carriageways have exits into, and entries from residential/industrial estates between the roundabouts, in the form of junctions.

So I was in lane1, doing about 75mph I'd say, and I could see a car approaching one of the junctions to my left. Out of courtesy, I'd usually move into the right lane to give the person room to pull out. But I was going to turn left at the roundabout just ahead, and as I was going fast-ish, thought I'd just stay in my lane...the driver see's me from some way ahead, yet still decideds to pull out!!! (assuming I was going to move for him I suppose!)

Anyway, so I sweve out into lane 2, as he's already planted himself in lane1, and I horn the hell out of him!

Sorry rant over, but ridiculous driving. How do some people get a license I wonder!

mabee you have let the other driver out in the past and they remember you. or they are a complete moron. either way you read the situation and avoided a collision, which most people would not, coz most drivers on the roads in britain are morons.

Are the MK's dual carrageways a 75mph limit ??

If you were going that fast .... surely you could have come round him, and still left ??

Did you slow down when you saw him approach the junction ?? Did you check your escape route ??

He should have waited ... but you realise when you start ranting it blows your arguement out of the water ?!?!?!.....

in thulfi's defence, (on the speed thing) I bet 75 on the speedo is around 70mph real speed.
