Indicators
 

Grrrr Just a note to pillocks who have lost the plot..

Indicators... they are not for letting us know you are turning left or right. they are not for letting us know you are changing lanes.

We can see that when you are doing it!

Indicators are there to indicate your intention to do these things... If you turn the steering wheel and indicate at the same time it is useless.. Indicate BEFORE you turn or change lanes then we know what your going to do!!!

Also... . I stood on a very cold street corner (now then) with my kids this morning waiting to cross the road but a car was approaching us.... then it turned just before it got to us.... No other cars about so the driver must have decided no need to indicate... grrrrr


On a lighter note ........................

Re: Indicators
 

Wasn't a BMW was it, I find that BMWs must have an inherent fault with their indicators because no sodding BMW drivers seem to know how to turn them on!

Oh and to the bloke in the saxo coming over Thelwall, pay attention its not good for my heart to see you all crossed up and smoking tyres as you try to stop yourself from running into the back of me due to you not paying attention to the flow of traffic. I don't think the guy in the merc was too happy about you nearly sideswiping him out of his lane either! Still on the other hand, I bet your journey home to change your pants was at a more sedate pace and attentive state.

Re: Indicators
 

Oooh one of my pet peeves too. Why do some drivers assume that pedestrians do not count when it comes to indicating?:mad:

I also get miffed with drivers who wave pedestrians across in front of them, not taking into account that there are other cars on the road coming from other directions. I was waiting for the green man at a pelican crossing the other day when a driver stopped (his lights were green and I still had the red man in front of me) and glared at me for not crossing. I pointed at the red man. He shrugged his shoulders and mouthed something which looked like " ******* please yourself" just as a car came round the corner and right in front of me. I smiled at him and pointed to the car under the wheels of which I would then have been if I'd taken any notice of him. :rolleyes:

Re: Indicators
 

Your on the right track there.. It seems to me people with posh cars such as beamers and mercs, jags (ya dont see so many now) and the like.. sports cars like porch... I think they feel the road is theres so they dont have to adhere to the rules


not indicators... but people having a chat at pelican crossing..... deary me :(

Re: Indicators
 

As a driver it really gets up my nose that other drivers do this. They may think they are being kind but it's actually one of the most stupid and dangerous things to do.

As for considering pedestrians I can't say I bother too much, I don't drive on the pavement but if pedestrians want to walk on the road then they should be aware of who owns it :D :D

Re: Indicators
 

Re: Indicators
 

Oh really!!! Lazy inconsiderate car drivers, in fact drivers waving on pedestrians to across is safe well im still here & thankful to all those kind driivers - nowt worse than an arogant i own the rd user:( So i'd be careful cos i may arrange a car free day for you to be a pedestrian for the duration & lets see about your comment then hehehheheheehe:D

Accymel - pedestrian:p

Re: Indicators
 

I must admit i do share your gripe, thats one of the most annoying especially when walking & u dont know where the driver is going - the amount of times i've crossed & a car last minute decides to turn into rd without indicating or very last minute, same when driving grrrr those people buggered my driving tests up as my regular arguement is that im not bloody psychic & apparently u have to be!! They shouldnt be allowed to drive on the road & take a re test - no bloody excuse for indicating late & most reason for an accident - certainly with pedestrians & other road users!

Re: Indicators
 

Sorry we will have to disagree. At a pelican crossing when the green light is on it's extremely dangerous. If the motorist waving the pedestrain across the road is close to the kerb it is not unreasonable for a motorist driving up from behind to think he has parked in a stupid place and therefore will actually drive past because you wouldn't expect a pedestrian to be crossing when the lights are green !!

Re: Indicators
 

Doh yeh some responsibility is on the pedestrian to know the green cross code & not cross at certain points without checking the rd is clear beforehand just as much as a driver should be aware of the highway code!!

Re: Indicators
 

Drivers that don't indicate on mini-roundabouts get right on my nerves :mad:

Re: Indicators
 

:rofl38: we know heheheheheheheee:D

Re: Indicators
 

No point indicating if your'e driving straight over them :D

Re: Indicators
 

It really bugs me too when drivers dont indicate, I dont think its just posh car drivers though, the other thing that annoys me is drivers that cut the corners, twice this week someones nearly crashed into me because they've cut the corner, silver Saxo and male driver!:mad:

Thats in todays Daily Mail. Ok its a woman who has re-sat her test but how many people would pass their test again?

Re: Indicators
 

I think quite a few would fail the test nowadays :rolleyes:

Re: Indicators
 

Got up this morning to find somebody has reversed into the side of my car. The front wing to be presise. Judging by the height and paintmarks left it has been done by a white van. :mad:

Re: Indicators
 

ahh the age old problem
but what you dont realise is the pillocks on these really expensive cars cant afford the optional extras like...... INDICATOR BULBS!!!!

(bit like bus drivers eh busman lol)

Re: Indicators
 

Drives me mad too.

People who don't use them properly get a V-sign and 'w*nker' shouted at them, either if I'm driving or on foot.

Re: Indicators
 

Worst thing is people just putting the brakes on right up to a corner and then finally putting the indicators on when they are about to turn!!!

Re: Indicators
 

Yep, it’s got to be mini-roundabouts that gets on my chest. Hehe
I’ve sat there many a time giving way to the vehicle on the round about only for them to suddenly turn left whereas I could have gone.
:mad:

At pelican crossings I though it was illegal to park/ over take in the zig zaged area.

:)

Re: Indicators
 

your quite correct kipax, the dumb gits are the bain of my life. and more often than not its usually the snotty gets not just beamer drivers.;)

Re: Indicators
 

Yes it is but how many times have you seen cars parked in the zig zag. What do you to get past them ?

Re: Indicators
 

this is not a fault with any car

its lazy incoinsiderate bastards who have no regard for anyone else behind them because the law says if your behind then its your fault no matter what the idiot in front of you does or fails to do

also pedestrians woudl like to have some notice of whatr a car is going to do before they cross a road and not have to dive out of teh way when a car decides suddenly to turn

anyone can drive around for a day before they realise their indicators are bust but theres no excuse for not noticing it after a few days seen as your supposed to check them regular infact i think the rules are you have to check them before each journey so when a copper pulls you then you dont have an argument and how the hell people can say they didnt notice they had a headlight out is beyond me as you can tell instantly by the lack of illumination

also fog lights , these are for fog you f ing morons not to make your car look pretty so if its not foggy switch the things off

but as usual as i have said many times before the traffic police in accrington can be right next to somone breaking the traffic laws and they wont even bat an ewyelid and will just carry on driving

only last week 2 taxis were parked on teh double yellow lines outside the bingo hall right up to the traffic lights at glynn webb causing a huge obstruction and teh traffic cop simply drove on by after swerving around them, that junction is bad enough infact i think there are white zigzags there but ime not 100% on that

too much paper work probably :mad:

Re: Indicators
 

To be honest I don’t think I’ve seen any, but having said that I don’t drive for a living, only drive when needed. If there was someone parked on the zig zap I would probably, if clear quietly creep by. :idunno:

Oh..... and I would indicate to let others know I am about to pass. :D

:)

Re: Indicators
 

Show off pmsl

Re: Indicators
 

you are supposed to indicate before ANY change of direction

granted i have hit the wipers by mistake occasionaly lol

Re: Indicators
 

My daughters pet hate ie cars that dont indicate. She gets mad at it when it happens but gets pedestrian road rage when its at roundabouts especially if they are in the wrong lane for the direction they then go.
