Things that have annoyed me on the road tonight

Yeah I think you can do it with vagcom but I've never actually seen any vag stuff with it done, only old jap stuff. Do the indicators still work as normal??

They'll flash off and on compared to on and off so yeah

Just a few annoyances from the last month or so...

Cyclists - by your sheer ineptitude at riding, my insurance premium is due to go up...no it wasn't me riding shotgun in a white AUDI the other day...
Motorcyclists
Black Cab drivers - really love it when you stop in lane 2 to pick up a fare...well played guys...
A*****n L*e 'drivers' - really wonder if some of these guys actually have licenses sometimes...
Idiot East London 'gangsta' boys with crap cars who try to go the wrong way down one way streets, then act like it's your fault when you stop in the road blocking their path...also applies to A*****n L*e drivers...
Bus drivers - thanks for pulling out with a microsecond of indication and when I'm alongside you...
Folks who don't use their mirrors - We're in a large white van, making lots of noise with lots of pretty blue flashy things all around...how can you not see us?? At least we know the brakes work...

I'm unsure if Neil is joking with that last one? It's a well known taxi firm. I've had the misfortune to use them once in central London. Never again!

 

[MattJ]

Well...being honest, if you're going to stop in lane 2 you might as well park across lane 1 while you're at it (apologies to anyone caught in the massive traffic jam on the A4 @ Hogarth Rbt the other week)!! [removes tongue from cheek]

*ddiso* *e* 'drivers' should provide more clues to the second one...lol

Going back to the constant amber lights - I thought the current trend was to 'smoke' the lenses and make it look as if there weren't any lights inside the plastic at all...not draw attention to their presence...

No, I wasn't joking as I've not needed a taxi in London for quite some time. Googled
It looks like their drivers are stuck with renting the car from the company, then working every available hour to make it worthwhile

People doing 35 in 60 single lane roads once again then at round about takes the racing line so uses both lanes and does not indicate. ***** me right off, and I see this allot.

think that's bad? dropped my wee mate off last night, so there is this sweeping and steep corner and my side of the roads clear of parked cars but there are parked cars on the other side. so i got to about 3/4 of the way down it and on the last corner section of it a car pulled out and i stopped to wait for her to reverse because i had the right of way or whatever it's called (the cars were parked on her side of the road) but she didn't. she just sat there waiting on me to move lol,

so about 2 **** later and 30 minutes in (actually being serious!) she caved in and reversed. i'm glad i totally wasted a half hour of my journey home. the scary part was that she had a passenger and were both sat looking at me as if i was an absolute retard. anyone ever been in a literal stand off situation like that, and would you have done the same as me / or did you do the same as me??

I've been in one or two in my own street and at roundabouts when old people get confused and after 3-4 seconds I just put the foot down.

blinkers are an "extra" equipment to pay on all audi and Vw and Bmw ... Then don't use here aswel ...
And also the police statistic here says : Audi and Bmw driver are the most agressive and dangerous drivers
