Cyclists or Caravanners
 

Who's the biggest pain in the backside on the roads, cyclists or caravanners? Maybe you have your own opinion e.g. Bus drivers, HGV drivers, taxi-drivers perhaps.

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners
 

Inconsiderate drivers no matter what they are in control of.

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners
 

cyclists by a mile in my book,no contest! am i allowed to change my mind,firemans off with his caravan today,beware pmsl

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners
 

Humps and cameras.

You spend so much time watching the speedo so it doesn't go over the limit, you don't notice the old dear who went over your bonnet.

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners
 

You don't like a hump, Garinda? ;)

You surprise me!



I voted for caravanners, as I cycle. But I do agree that some cyclists shouldn't be allowed out of their padded cells most of the time

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners
 

Cyclists, definitely. Yes, I have fumed on an A-road in a long line of traffic before now, because the old soul in the trilby feels his caravan is safest at 20 mph. I've never had to watch out for one coming up behind me on the pavement, though, or coming at 30 mph through a red light when I have a green one to cross. I've never had a caravan try to get through on my blind spot when I have been indicated left since well before I stopped at the lights.

So cyclists, any day.

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners
 

I apply the same rules as when I am on my motorbike.

You get a very similar view from a cycle and a motorbike, and although the speed is different, you still have to be careful of what the other road users are up to.

If someone is indicating to turn left or right, you don't try and pass them on that side - it's quite simple!

You also look over your shoulder when turning right or changing direction, as you don't have the benefit of mirrors on a cycle.

caravaners

i once got the pleasure of been behind some moron doing about 80 mph with one of those small caravans bouncing like a rubber ball from left to right across the motorway

we watched in anicipation but unfortunaly we had to turn off before we got to witness the inevitable flipping over of the car that was towing it

No my dear Vorlon, the only hump l like is the one on my back, as it gives me extra momentum when l'm bell ringing.:D

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners
 

Had to vote for cyclists seen as you didn't put this one in ............. bloody taxi drivers :D lol!

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners
 

ROAD HOG!

Phones Cornish police not to let speedy Si enter the county again.

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners
 

the best one i ever saw was when we were behind a cravan on the motorway and the kids were pulling faces at us from the back window of the caravan lol

talk about stupid parents

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners
 

Please add taxi drivers and bus drivers as one option :D

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners
 

The worse driver I ever spotted was a 5 foot dark haired lady sat on 5 cushions to see over the steering wheel of a Pug 206 :D

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners
 

Well you ain't no gent, you could have given her a hand ;)

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners
 

Are you sure they were cushions that she was sat on Neil :D

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners
 

[QUOTE=simon]Well I cycle and caravan ...........

Not at the same time I trust? lol.


Personally, it’s caravans for me. They make a much bigger dint than a bike…..Sitting at the foot of Willows Lane last week I witnessed a number of Taxis “driven by Asian gentlemen and other Asian drivers not wearing seat belts. Around six or seven of them, two were female one of which had a child in the vehicle. Is this a religious or cultural consideration I wonder? or is it a general lack of respect for the law.

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners
 

Maybe they turn a blind eye on purpose. :D

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners
 

thats not so bad there usually on their mobiles as well

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners
 

have not voted yet because it should have been a poll of a lot more vehicles,can you add white van drivers,sunday drivers,suped up clio drivers,super suburu brigade .....etc.....?

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners
 

how about adding the police

flashing lights and sounding their siren just to get back to the sation to clock off

speeding just because the guy infront is and they feel the need to catch them up so that they can tell them that they were speeding

the inability to stop when they see people parked on double yellow lines at the traffic lights at the bottom of willows lane with the hazzard lights going while they get out the car to talk to their friends

using their radio while driving ,if we arnt in control of a vehicle when using a mobile phone how can they be in control with one hand on the radio

:dogrun:

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners
 

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners
 

Taxi drivers are exempt from wearing seat belts for safety reasons

When I was a taxi driver and had a dodgy character get in I used to leave the seatbelt off so I could make a swift exit if I needed to.

Apparently it has happened in the past that a passenger has used the drivers seatbelt against him and wrapped it round his neck...

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners
 

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners
 

That’s easy!

Everyone considers it’s the OTHER driver.

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners
 

White van man and inconsiderate parkers who block half the road.

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners
 

ahhh i agree about taxi drivers,white van man etc,-but that wasn't the question !lol

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners
 

Well I never knew that!!!!!!!.

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners
 

with the fares some taxi drivers try charging i cant realy blame a passanger for wanting to throttle them with the seatbelt lol

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners
 

beware taxi men we know whaT YOU WANT? YOU ARE GOING TO GET IT.?

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners
 

This sort of behaviour gets up my nose. It wasn’t too bad here because the road is quite long and plenty of room to pass but usually I meet them on country lanes where you can’t over take due to blind bends etc. You are forced to travel at their speed. Why they can’t travel in single file on country roads, god only knows.

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners
 

Len ! you look at that picture, and the cyclists annoy you ?

That beggers belief. What about the fool breaking the law ?

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners
 

Taxi drivers get my vote............they are bloody pains.
Next worse is Wagon drivers. Pig ignorant and just cos they drive something bigger it's a case of '' get out of my way or go up on the kerb, cos I won't move over''.
Why is it they always think they have the right of way over everybody else GRRRRRRRRR!!

(sorry told you all I was in a mood)!!

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners
 

:lol: :lol: :rofl38:
Hehe… nice one I never noticed that.

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners
 

Lasses in four wheel drive cars on the school run, that never give way to little 'hairdresser' cars really get my goat.

It they want to drive tanks join the army.

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners
 

Clank, Clank.

Is that a tank?

No it's garinda, he didn't give way to the school run 4x4

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners
 

Gary don't spoil my morning school run fun. I am the idiot that does not move over for the 4x4's. Don't forget they cost lots of money and they don't want to bend them. Just move over to the middle of the gap and keep going. They soon get the message and wait for me in my old shed :D

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners
 

:o mmm OK Slink is that just wagon drivers? I remember a certain school run the other day ........... b***h in a 206 in a foul mood coming through MOVE :mad: !!!!!!!!!

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners
 

LMAO oh yes I remember that woman well!!!!!!

Will know her if I see her again tinks!!!!!!!;) :D

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners

Re: Cyclists or Caravanners
