A Waring - PLEASE READ

[Russ_16v]

**** A Warning - PLEASE READ ****

i know it is a silly thing to say,but PLEASE LOOK IN YOUR MIRRORS/BLINDSPOT BEFORE YOU OVERTAKE!!!

I overtook a car and a lorry this evening,they were both travelling around 40 mph,the straight was long and clear,i pulled out to overtake and the lady in the car decided she wanted to overtake the lorry and pulled straight out,this left me no where to go so at around 55mph i had to swerve onto the verge on the side of the road,the 2 right wheels were on the grass,and the two left still on the road,she panicked and swerved back in,i tried to turn back onto the road,and as the verge was bumpy the back end of the car was..i will describe it as loose,i went slightly sideways and i wasnt far off hitting the lorry,but i was lucky as i kept my foot in and dragged it back straight and passed the lorry.

to top it all off the woman then overtook the lorry and sat behind me watvhing the seanery as if nothing had happened!!!!

so i was lucky,that could have been a very nasty accident,i could have ended up under the lorry,so just a word of advise guys please check before you overtake (which i expect you already do) i just dont want this happening to anyone else

It's scary when it happens. I had this happen to me, although I am guilty of once or twice not checking the mirror right before i pull out.

good post, if it helps one person then it's worth it.

[Russ_16v]

it def scared the hell outta me

 

[Ian_182]

Thats happened to me 3 times in the last 12 months.Country roads are crap

 

[alexbleubolt]

you should ahve put your foot down quicker and overtook at 120

 

[Russ_16v]

this was a main A road mate lol,couldnt believe it

 

[Kiev85]

women....

KNOW YOUR LIMITS

 

[Chili Red]

We do, that's why our insurance is cheaper

 

[Phoenix]

dam.....bet that scared the fcuk out of you....
ive had it happen to me...wa ssat behind a car who was behind a lorry....was an old couple with female driver.....nice long straight road. waited for them to pull out n overtake....they didnt....i pulled out with indicators....then they did without indicators or anything....didnt even pull back in with my horn going....slammed on the anchors n got a bit sideways hit the curb which corrected me and carried on overtaking behind the old couple that hadnt even got halfway past the lorry...they carried on like nothing had happened

 

[clio_luke]

yep. i had something very simelar. was really scary. could have caused a lot of damage. but luckily there was none!

It's cheaper because you women are too bone idle to drive and make us blokes ferry you round. If you only drive about a 1/4 of the miles a bloke does a year by the law of averages you are less likely to have a bump. You cant have a claim against you sat in the passenger seat while the other half drives you :rasp:

In summary women and old people should not be issued driving licences

 

[Kiev85]

thats a shame...woman are good at lots of things...cooking, sex



same with old people..?

 

[cat171]

I seem to get a lot of people driving in my blind spot lately, I don't know why they do it tbh. It proper annoys me.

 

[Jaff]

this happens to me all the time, the M8 is a dangerous place for a clio, its usually a quarry lorry overtaking an 18 wheeler, and dont see me in the out side lane in my flame red clio just swing out when i'm along side, i could have been mullered many a time.
the worst one is where artics try and crush me on round abouts and slip roads, all i can say is thank got for hard shoulders saved my life a few times.

there are seriously some dangerous drivers out there and i know its a sterotype but i think oldies are the worst, followed closey in joint second by bus and taxi drivers. they think they rule the road, the oldies because they have been on it for so long, 3 years just getting to morrisons, and the buses thing because they have a sticker on the back asking us to let hem pull out they assume we will, and taxis just dont give a sh*t.
but the most inconsiderate are young neds(chavs) in their bambed up corsas and scoobys, just because it has a big exhaut massive wheels and a max power spoiler does not make it a ferrari nor does it make you a michael shumacher, colin mcrae, or jason plato. your a dick in a 4 grand car with a 5 grand premium. i have never been let into traffic by a ned, or let out a junction or gottena wave for waiting between parked cars because they wont wait, or gottena thanks for letting them in or letting them over take.
they are almost as bad as the police for it.

That's odd..all I can read here is blah blah blahhh

 

[Turkish]

Need those bi focals checked dear

 

[RichRSi]

Nasty, but to be honest you can post this warning to other drivers on every forum in the world but there will still be idiots who will read it, shrug their shoulders and go on doing it, unfortunatly it's the 'I'm alright Jack' attitude that some drivers have and it seems to be getting very common now.

There's an obvious reply here, but I'm not that mean

Just you wait! oh and btw I'm waiting..... unless your memory is on the blink too

 

[Mattie h]

i honestly dont know how some people still have licences!

The younger driver,boy racer , chavs etc seem to get a bad name but tbh id put OAPs in the number 1 spot for s**t drivers closely followed by women!

No offence to anyone mind

 

[Pep]

exactly the same thing has happened twice to me today, except i want pushed off the road, just very close to the armco and nearly had a nice cayman in my boot earlier tonight on my way home!
