They left you name of the list rob, get in touch with david he will sort it
Sorry to revive this, especially when all of this sort of stuff happens to everyone everyday nowadays anyhow..
I know the job is nearly ■■■■ ed already, but when we stop calling out all this crap because it’s ‘‘normal’’ and ‘‘the done thing’’ that is the day the job is COMPLETELY ■■■■ ed.
So… a big shout out to the prick in the 4 wheeler yesterday on the M5 n/b just south of Bristol, sat approaching me in the middle lane to overtake me.
Me approaching a slow moving truck, also to overtake, but being a considerate driver, I did not pull out in front of him, but gave him an adequately early signal waiting for his expected polite flash to let me out…and waited.
Nope…, he speeded up and watched me approach the trailer’s back doors, giving me 2 options, brake up, or bury myself in the trailer.
Looked right at him (sat there in his hi viz ‘kin vest ) and gave him (rightly or wrongly) the coffee shaker gesture, to which he gave me a gormless look of oblivion to my point, and returned the hand gesture.
As thread title…’‘Drivers today wtf’'.
You followed the rules, i would have pulled out and put the responsibilities on him
A good driver is always looking ahead no matter how far behind
Anticipate and adjust the situation if coming from behind
always approach from the side with the headlights
in all seriousness if rob (as it is his situation we are discussing) had let go of the loud pedal the coffee shaker (my new phrase for that one btw) in the middle lane would of probably slowed down too its their usual game
Then he would have come on this thread saying..
‘‘Some ■■■■ pulled out in front of me yesterday’’
Tbf I had the vehicle in front well anticipated, I just assumed the guy was a ‘‘proper driver’’ seen me well ahead and just flashed me out…it’s what we all used to do as I’m sure you know.
Mountain molehill situation…but just making a point.
Standard practice more and more these days. But then their’s a lot more bellends on the road now. Honestly don’t know how you day driver’s hack it
Just a bit of common courtesy is long gone.
Yep, gone to join its brother, common sense.
