I made my point and seriously have far better things to do than keep on highlighting your inconsistencies.  :)

Hmmm a bit strong but if someones acting a cunt and in doing so they make a tit of themselves then i'm happy with that. You just doing the dooley wind-up thing or you genuinely are offended by what i've said?

i'm completely serious - if you genuinely wanted to see someone come a cropper (real life, not make believe), then you're a cunt.

but bear in mind, it's only my personal definition of what a cunt is

I have recently began a job that makes me drive with an ex grade 1 advanced police driver.  He overtakes in places I would never have done, and when I asked him why he explained that he looks much much further ahead.

He is smooth and comfortable, so I tried doing what he does.  It does work.  We all overtake on our bikes in places car drivers cant, because we can use the speed of our bikes, but combine that with the forward observation and the result is amazing progress.  Try this book:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Roadcraft-Great-Britain-Home-Office/dp/0113408587

 

As for following loonies to see what happens I really dont care if they top themselves, so long as its only themselves, which it rarely is.  There should be far more police on the roads and idiots should be done as soon as possible.

Oh well; he'll be dead soon.

Always make me feel a little better that someone like that has reserved their place in this years statistics ahead of me.

I was undertaken at very high speed in the busy 50mph section of the A3 southbound thru Tolworth the other day by a KTM (think 950SM) - he was weaving wildly between lanes / cars & got up to 110mph+ down the long sliproad towards Esher.  Whilst clearly enjoying himself, or on his way home to a burning house, I thought he was just making it a little bit harder for all the rest of us in the future.

Sorry (in advance) But I am a habitual undertaker. (no I don't bury the dead) In my humble opinion the uk is full of many (in my experience) Knobs who think that safe driving on the motorway is to stay in the middle or outside lane because at some point there might, a few miles down the road, be a lorry of a caravan or something in the left hand lane.

I shall say this only once  Ready?

THE MIDDLE AND OUTSIDE LANE ARE FOR OVERTAKING. IF YOU ARE NOT OVERTAKING  DRIVE ON THE LEFT HAND LANE! IF THE LEFT HAND LANE IS CHOCK WITH SLOWER TRAFFIC THEN USE THE MIDDLE OR OUTSIDE LANE. WHEN THE LEFT HAND LANE IS CLEAR AGAIN GET OVER. DO NOT CRUISE IN THE MIDDLE OR OUTSIDE LANE. IF YOU DO EXPECT ME TO UNDERTAKE YOU WHILST INDICATING THAT YOU ARE A FIRST CLASS WANKER. (not personal to anyone ok. )

If you don't know or disagree then get on the ferry, get over to europe and see how it should be done.

The standard of motorway driving by the majority in this country is absolute shite.

Grrrrrrrr.

If the opportunity arose, I would happily undertake.  At speed too.

Yes, the standard of motorway - well, the standard of all - drving in this country is fucking abominable. For this reason, I undertake where possible (due to pricks parking up in lanes two and three), but always with extreme caution.

There's 2 really sad things about this.

The "bad drivers" are looking at you thinking "look at that idiot undertaking" and any coppers that see you will pull you and you'll get done....

Back to the main point, I like watching people do wheelies, as long as it's not in built up areas. But even then when I'm saying "you twat", I secretly think it's cool.

I wish I could do them better. And they only look like cunts if they fall off.

Undertaking is not an offence, and hasn't been for about 40 years.

What will get you done is diving around to undertake someone.

All the best

All the best, you need to read your Highway Code again mate...

268Do not overtake on the left or move to a lane on your left to overtake. In congested conditions, where adjacent lanes of traffic are moving at similar speeds, traffic in left-hand lanes may sometimes be moving faster than traffic to the right. In these conditions you may keep up with the traffic in your lane even if this means passing traffic in the lane to your right. Do not weave in and out of lanes to overtake.
