Doesn't really do anyone any harm, if people want to overtake then I move over for them.
It does, because there will be quite a few occasions where you aren't paying attention and hold someone up. Also really bad practice. There's absolutely no requirement to use that outside lane unless you're overtaking or letting someone in from a slip. Outrageous behaviour.
Nobody should ever have to move over to allow merging if people know how to drive anyway.
Currently going through CCTV footage myself because apparently crime investigation is self service now. Thanks, Theresa May.
Vote Labour.
How did you get the footage?
As solutions go that's like tripping on a banana skin and responding by nuking the southern hemisphere.
Private cameras installed at the allotment trading shed nearby. Power to the people.
I've just fucking found crystal clear footage of them doing it as well. Like CSI Seoul this morning.
Tried the 'highway code way' today. Added 10-15 minutes onto my journey stuck behind lorries and buses doing 50 on a 70 while a large portion of cars sped up in the good lane meaning I couldn't get out to overtake. Mugs game.
You must be a woeful driver if you aren't alert enough to move over before you get stuck. Stick to the bus.
Stick to drink driving, prisoner.
I think you're actually a woman.
Would you have a problem with a woman earning more than you?
No, it's a good thing you don't either.
Every person that approaches behind you thinks you're a cunt. And that you can't drive.
And everyone here knows you get bullied by kids and have a women's job.
We're all fighting our own battles buddy.
That's class. I can't remember if I mentioned it in the other thread but some kids damaged a car across the road last week which one of the neighbours supposedly caught on camera, and in fairness the police have been making their presence known.
Failed.
Going up a road that's all parked cars on the left, get asked to turn right. There was room right at the end to join the left lane but I tried to just turn right straight away, and there was a car in the road I was turning into turning left.
That was five minutes in and I knew I'd fucked it. Got four minors for the rest of the drive. Raging.
Hard luck. The test is the fucking weirdest thing ever. Christ knows why it's so nerve racking.
I've got driving pretty much sorted now, but parking, nah. Literally can't do it. I just fundamentally don't have the spatial awareness to understand how reverse gear works. Any tips for mongs like me?
So pulling in to a petrol station this morning my oil light came on. Sure enough, dry as a bone. Talk about good timing (we're supposed to do these stupid weekly checks which nobody does to avoid this stuff).
15,000 miles and it's used all it's oil. Great, apparently it's 20,000 for a service. Had to spend a tenner on oil which I'll be claiming back. Fucking piece of German shit.
A tenner? That's the family not eating tonight.
I'm even in the bank but £700 down on the credit card.
Weren't you 200 down last week? I spend my money on alcohol and hard drugs and have better control of my finances.
Yeah but it's delayed updating, about 4 days behind. I thought I was better off than I was. /r/suicide
Car engine in burning oil shocker.
The 20k mile service interval should be amended. I'm not a fucking lackey having to top up my own oil. Disgrace.
You shouldn't be allowed a car if you can't dip oil.
If your oil is burning out 5000 miles faster than it should that's from your own style of driving. If you're on high revs the whole time, you'll burn more oil.
I was like a woman. Took me 20 minutes of manual reading before I knew which kind to buy.
5-what?
10-WHAT?
I'm doomed!
If in doubt, flat out.
NB: unless it's your own car.
Yeah then you can't complain about having to pay for your own oil.
'Drive like a knob, cost you a few bob.'
When you top up oil do you essentially just pour it into the engine block?
Every car I've done it on just had a big cap labelled 'Engine Oil'
Yes.
I claimed it back.
I passed my test on Wednesday of last week. I completely went to bits and racked up 6 minors in the first 10 minutes. I then had reversing around a corner as my manoeuvre, which I have always found a piece of piss, but I went out far to wide, had to drive back round to correct it, then came in to quickly, nearly curbed it and had to put the handbrake on before I went full retard. I sorted it out in the end but I thought I had failed. I then drove more or less perfectly for the rest of the test - pressure off as thought I had failed anyway - and was passed with 7 minors.
So we went and got a car on Canvey Island () on Saturday. 2003 Ford Fiesta Ghia, 1 owner, 83000 miles. I then shat the bed completely on the drive home. I don't know Canvey at all, and it has a shit double roundabout after getting off of it. Then, I got stuck at lights on a hill and sat stalling it for the entirety of a green light. Turns out the car I learnt in had hill start assist, mine does not. I eventually got it moving and jumped a red light in the process rather than stopping again. I got home a shaking, sweaty mess. Horrible.
I've got it sorted now, worked out the revs for hill starts etc, but that was an absolute ordeal.
Also lol at spikey.
My car is in for MOT (new car due in Sept) and the courtesy car is a minute Fiesta with an engine fit for nothing. Motorways haven't been fun so far.
I'm a twit
I bumped a parked car this morning while trying to park. It was only slight bumper to bumper contact and there is no damage but I am now shitting bricks. Fuck this driving shit.
That's how you work out how much room there is.
It's why bumpers are there.
My proven technique to avoid little bumps like that is to not have attempted a parallel park since my driving test.
Indeed. It always freaked me out.
I live on a ridiculously busy road and have no drive way. There was a space so I had to grab it. Seriously considering moving house / never driving again so that I never have to do it again.
Parallel parking was the easiest thing for me. Once you learn the technique of aligning yourself with other cars you can practically do it on feel alone. However, I couldn't merge with a 2 lane roundabout so we all have our weaknesses.
If I didn't have either a drive or an assigned space I honestly think the anxiety I'd feel every time I drove home would eventually send me into a nervous breakdown. Whenever I have to parallel I actually do alright but I really don't trust it even though I know the technique is sound.
No point in learning now as pretty soon most cars will park themselves.
But yeah, like Wullie I'd have severe parking anxiety. Couldn't live somewhere I didn't have my own space. Now that I've taught the neighbour it's all going swimmingly too.
Not parallel parking is a sure fire way to destroy your alloys.
Bunch of queers.
Also congrats on passing your test @spikey
Also RIP.
