Am I just a bad driver or does this happen to everybody?

…Getting stuck in junctions. I don’t know how but I always end up coming out of a junction, almost hitting a lamppost or one of those little lit up cone thingies that tell you to stay left or right, then having to reverse to get through the corner…

Don’t rush it, Fonz it. “Ayyyy…” :sunglasses:

London is fun in the artic as all the drivers there try to use every available space but they don’t appreciate that the space they are pinching is what you need for the trailer :frowning:
If you aren’t watching the mirrors you risk big trouble . There is one turn going to spitalfields where it is 2 lanes for a right turn at a set of lights and you need both lanes or you take out the lights and the cars will still try and get past you .

Straddle both lanes at them tight junctions stop the cars coming up side of yer lol

Sometimes even doing this they will try and squeeze past you :smiley:

You see them in your mirrors getting mad then trying to squeeze down next to you. I had a moron in Oxford try that.

I had one try to sneak up my inside (coming off the roundabout was a short two-lanes-to-one), and had to stop short as he didn’t foresee the overhang swinging in front of him. Deserved it the [zb].

EDIT: Or when the turn off the island is quite tight so you have to swing the nose into their lane to get your back axle round, and they’re rushing up trying to put their tyres right on that centre white line. http://i.imgur.com/HDF8MUV.jpg

Another one that gets me is when you are at a junction where the traffic from the left is set back to allow large vehicles to make the turn. They normally have one of those cyclist boxes in front of the lines. Its always funny when you get morons who are past that line into that cycle box meaning you can’t complete the turn so you’re stuck halfway. Had that happen a few times to me. They can’t go back because idiots behind have bunched up so close no one can move.

They probably think “the picture has two wheels, so I can put two wheels in the box”.

Actually more likely is “HURRRRR”
