From my few limited experiences, American driving is atrocious to be honest. I can see why you opt for cycling to work! I welcome you to come drive in Australia. Your head will literally explode. It will be messy. I'VE ONLY JUST GOT USED TO THE STEERING WHEEL AND GEAR STICK BEING IN THE WRONG PLACES. |

PRETTY SURE THE 'STICK' IS IN THE SAME PLACE??  (unless one of those old shifts that look like a big indicator stalk) |

Just about to do my roof down commute from Southampton back to Bournemouth - wish me luck, the heat seems to do odd things to drivers..

PRETTY SURE THE 'STICK' IS IN THE SAME PLACE?? (unless one of those old shifts that look like a big indicator stalk) THE GEAR STICK IS ON MY RIGHT SIDE AND NOT MY LEFT SIDE. MAYBE I COULD SIT BACKWARDS BUT THEN THE WHEEL AND PEDALS ARE IN THE WRONG PLACE. ACTUALLY AS SOON AS YOU DRIVE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD IT MAKES TOTAL SENSE FOR THE CAR TO BE THE WRONG WAY ROUND AS WELL. THIS ISN'T A RANT ABOUT MY COMMUTE ANY MORE, THESE ARE JUST OBSERVATIONS ABOUT LEFT HAND DRIVE CARS. |

I wrote my first rag-top (a Rover  ) off in a similar situation. Tale of woe. ARRRFFFGHHHHH FFFFFFKKKK!!!! Similar experience some years back in the 2CV but fortunately no bad ending. LATE ONE EVENING IDIOT Tailgate McNoIndicate DRIVER IN FRONT OF ME DOING 70MPH IN OUTSIDE LANE OF M4 EASTBOUND DOES EMERGENCY STOP FOR NO APPARENT REASON, MAKING ME DO EMERGENCY STOP I WAS SO CLOSE TO HITTING THEM, IT MUST HAVE BEEN A MATTER OF INCHES, MY LIFE FLASHED BEFORE MY EYES TYPE CLOSE. GUY BEHIND IN A POOJET 206 ALSO HAS TO EMERGENCY STOP TO AVOID ME AND GOES IN TO CENTRAL RESERVATION THANKFULLY SOFTLY. canoeING Tailgate McNoIndicate DRIVER ZOOMS OFF LIKE THEY DIDN'T JUST COME TO A FULL STOP ON THE canoeING M4, LEAVING ME AND POOJET DRIVER TO HUG IT OUT ON THE HARD SHOULDER HAPPY TO BE ALIVE.
I thought 2CVs had a 59mph top speed? lol

Past this point there is no longer terror and only gratitude that you are not yet dead. Anyway. Enough of lower case. WHY AM I STILL AT WORK AND NOT GETTING FRUSTRATED ON MY TRAIN COMMUTE HOME???!!! |

I'm new here but this thread has come at a most convenient time so here goes. I'M WITH YOU FIZBNE ON HECKING FCKING AUDI DRIVERS. NEARLY LOST MY PRIDE AND JOY TODAY WHEN SOME GUY IN AN A3, DECIDES "I'M GOING TO EXIT THIS JUNCTION EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A SMALL HAIRDRESSER LOOKING AUTOMOBILE APPROACHING AT SPEED". SO I SLAM THE ANCHORS, LOCKING UP FCKING SPACTACULARLY WHILST THIS UNEDUCATED BAFOON STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD INSTEAD OF COMMITTING TO HIS IDIOTIC MOVE, LOOKS AT ME LIKE ALL IS CanoeING WELL AND CONTINUES TO ATTEMPT SHOW OFF TO HIS MATES BY CONTINUING TO DRIVE LIKE AN UTTER TWAT ALL THE WAY TO THE SHOPS. NOT EVEN AN FCKING S3 OR SIMILAR PERFORMANCE VEHICLE FFS. Adequate? I just want to vent and be a kool kid... |

I swear some of the worst driving come not from the audi drivers
....BEAR WITH ME, DON'T START...
But from ANY FKING SHED THAT SAYS PICCASO ON THE BACK.
Yes. I went there. Because it is always THESE BLIND CanoeERS WITH THE REACTION TIME OF A STONED SLOTH that watch me approaching and, after a couple of seconds decide 'Oh, there is a gap big enough for me to pull out'
YES, IT WAS FKING BIG ENOUGH UNTIL YOU DECIDED TO READ A FKKIN BOOK WHILE THIKING ABOUT IT YOU Spikey Canoe
But it gets better. Then they dither about the act of pulling out. I know their shed on wheels is slow but FARK MEEEEE.
SO NOW I HAVE TO ANCHOR UP YOU MUGTHUMPING BUNGLECNT
And this is after I have taken one look at the car, thought THAT FKKER IS GOING TO GO ARENT THEY? and eased off the power.
I LEAVE A BIGGER FKKIN GAP PREDICING YOUR STUPIDITY AND YOU STILL MANAGE TO MAKE SUCH A TWOTTING MESS OF IT THAT I STILL NEED TO BRAKE HARD.
