War!!!!!

Why do governments s readily want to send young people off to kill other people? If everyone had to spend some time on the front line they might just learn what a bloody business it really is!

So this week the US and UK have bombed parts of Syria and 'regrettably' killed many Syrian soldiers. Now unnamed forces have bombed an aid convoy and we are all outraged!

Regret, outrage? Whatever, mums, dad's and children die.

When we watch news footage of the Italian earthquake and the collapsed buildings our thoughts turn to those who may be trapped and dying in the rubble.

When we see similar footage of towns and cities bombed flat there seems to be little thought of what has happened to the people who live there.

What's the term? Collateral Damage?

Not long enough!
I think the attitude of some rush hour drivers pisses me off. it is getting worse than ever it was. Nobody will give a centimeter, the only way to make progress in traffic is to be assertive, then all those who wont give a centimeter get the hump because they are now behind you. Not that this bothers me but it displays human nature at it's worst.


Just got back from France and the first thing I noticed after getting off the ferry was how inconsiderate we are on the roads, hardly anyone uses the inside lane and the middle lane hoggers are nose to tail and won't won't let you out:swear2::swear2:

People who, on joining a Motorway from the slip road, think they have the right of way over people already on the Motorway.

Charging down the slip road and forcing their way in even if the vehicle in the inside lane is unable to move across owing to overtaking vehicles. It causes "panic" braking with the consequent risk of a tail end impact.:mad:

People already on the motorway who don't ease off to create a gap for a vehicle joining from the slip road. Attempting to join a motorway from a standing start at the end of the slip road causes danger for everyone. :)

And that is the problem.:)

Have you ever tried "easing off" on the M6 particularly on the stretch between Sandbach and Knutsford?

New exhaust and rear bumper needed when the guy behind is too busy playing Pokemon GO or texting to see your brake lights.:cry:

By easing off I meant lifting off the throttle - it's normally sufficient.

It would seem some people do not know the rules of the road. People joining a motorway are at a junction waiting to join the main carriageway. They should wait for a clear space to pull out. It is not up to the vehicles already on the main carriage way to make a space for them to pull out into. Just easing off the gas in an HGV can, particularly if on an incline take a long time to get back up to speed.

Life just ain't fair is it? A good thing you weren't out on your 2 wheels at the time...
Wishing you a quick and full recovery and a not too frustrating recuperation.

Went to fill up before setting off, no power and white smoke!
Fuel pump and also water pump leaking. £1100 later decided not to go.
But it could have gone in the south of Spain, and we'd still be sitting there with two dogs.

The Highway Code says: -
  • give priority to traffic already on the motorway
  • check the traffic on the motorway and match your speed to fit safely into the traffic flow in the left-hand lane
So nothing there about people already on the motorway easing off. There always used to be a rule that you should never cause another vehicle to change speed or direction in any aspect of driving.​
