Perhaps you mean something like this? It is is harder seen from a
driver's perspective than from a high mounted camera. No need.
Adjust speed according to what can be seen.

*Incidentally, the bridge has a 2t mgw limit so several drivers
shown here are breaking the rules - plus many others plus a council
official with a Range Rover that knows full well.
*WTF are you on about?* I can clearly see what's coming the other way,
*that is not a blind bridge whatsoever.* Unless it's because the
camera is higher up than most drivers.


Cast your eyes up a few lines...


Try waffling less.* So what was your point?* I never hoot at those.* I
just slow down.


I said above "It is is harder seen from a driver's perspective than from
a high mounted camera" and "no need" [to hoot].

Then you pondered about the height of the camera. Don't complain about
waffle when you can't follow through properly.

If the horn was not so unpleasant, the administrators that defined
the 90dbA standard understood physics and the pad on the steering
wheel was force sensing to allow the driver to add expression it
might be more acceptable.
*What do you mean?* Are you suggesting it should be louder if you
press harder?


Quieter if tapped softly.


That would just make them go unnoticed.
A horn should always be as loud
as possible to inform the arsehole that he failed to drive correctly.


Shrug. If that is what you want then press it normally.

Er no. It means "You ****ing arsehole, why the hell didn't you
indicate?!"
*A horn conveys no information so how are your targets supposed to
know what your problem is?
*Well let me see, Mr Smith turns right at a roundabout without
indicating, and someone correctly pulls in front of him, then
sounds their horn when they see he's about to collide with them.
He can then look up the highway code or whatever and find out why
the other car had the right of way.

Just because Mr Smith is not indicating right it is not correct for
AN Other to pull out on a whim. Too many hims and thems. Explain who
is doing what and who ends up in front of whom.
*If you don't indicate right at a roundabout, you do not have the
right to turn right.* WTF are you doing turning without informing
other road users as to where you intend to go?


When following marked lanes indication is not necessary. Indication is
only useful when making lane changes or where there is ambiguity. And
I live in the south east where most people adapt to cope with each
others' behaviour without going into a hissy fit at every opportunity.

Please explain your scenario in more detail.


Now think of a roundabout without lanes.* Or maybe one with two entry
lanes and three exits.* And don't assume that cars at the other side can
tell what lane you're in.


Still not enough information. Every roundabout is different. No mention
of timing and you don't say which driver ends up aiming at the other
driver's doors.

No indicator means you're going straight
ahead, end of story.


Straight on from where? Once a roundabout is more than a certain size
the relationship between entry and exit becomes completely irrelevant.

You seem to be just trying to make a point rather than trying to work
out how to use a roundabout in the most efficient way for the
circumstances you find at the time.

It is not intended to convey the message: "Get out of my way
or there might be a crash". I such circumstances, you are
supposed to slow down or stop.
I don't, I drive as close as possible to the vehicle without
touching them, this scares them into not doing it again,
*Have you ever followed up the result of your education with the
individuals concerned?
*Yes, I often have people banging on my door yelling at me. I had a
bus driver sacked for doing just that, after not indicating and
deciding he had priority over cars at a junction.

So the answer is that you don't know that your education works.
*Try that again in English.


It's good enough.


I told you that a bus driver was sacked due to his inabilities.* And you
reply with the nonsense, "So the answer is that you don't know that your
education works" - what is that supposed to mean?


A sacking is not evidence of altered behaviour.

Who is Debbie and how many feet is her foot?

9

Doesn't that make her tread on her own toes?

I wear a 10 1/2.
Size is not equal to length of foot in feet.

yes it is

Anyone with a 10.5 foot foot would only be able to get work as a
clown.

my foot size is 10 1/2" in size
" isn't feet.
' is feet.


i foot is one foot ,
two feet is two feet ,
when you catch a fish ,
one foot is three feet

There's a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore looking

I have excitement.


Is your rod erect?

what kind of rod?


I don't want to examine your tool that closely.



try some bait on the end on your line

Â*Thanks greatly for the excellent compliment coming from YOU.
My bike is an excellent convenient healthy exhilarating

It really is a very great compliment to be called grossly stupid
by YOU.
Especially by YOU.
And I have no ****ing interest in looking good in YOUR eyes.
After all I ride a bicycle.
And we all know what YOU think of bicyclists. You think they are
the ****witted pits of humanity.
And because it is YOU who think that,Â* that is an extremely great
compliment.
We must be doing something right.

Â* Cyclists v drivers? They're often the same people.

Much has been written about a war between cyclists and drivers, as
if the two groups were such polar opposites that they could never
cross in a Venn diagram. But according to new research, people who
cycle the most are likely to own at least two cars.

Regular cyclists – those who cycle at least once a week – are also
disproportionately likely to read broadsheet newspapers, be well
educated, have a household income of at least £50,000 per year and
shop at Waitrose, claims the latest Mintel report, Bicycles in the
UK 2010. In addition, they are twice as likely to be men as women.

Â*I guess the Guardian is wrong then, or cyclists wouldn't yell at
drivers all the time.
I don't yell at drivers all the time.
I use my voice like a car uses (or is supposed to use) a horn; as a
warning that unless someone does some kind of avoiding manoeuvre, a
clash may happen.
Note, it is only an indecipherable shout; not an oath or plashemy or
foul language or insult or something.
Â*Funny, I've never had to yell at a motorist on my bike, maybe you
should cycle more carefully?


I sometimes have to, but usually I find I am acknowledging their
courtesy.
Maybe that is why I am still alive and uninjured.


Why would you yell to acknowledge courtesy?


There is the word 'but' in there somewhere.

I just use a bike mostly because it is most convenient, I love
the fresh air and feeling of movement and exercise, and ....
Owning a car and being rich has nothing to do with it.
Â*
Â* Of course, money is irellevant.

Is it?

So why did you mention it?
Â*
Â* I didn't.Â* I just showed you a report from a link, which was
basically the reporter's opinions.
Â*That's an entertaining wriggle.
Â*
Â* State where I mentioned money!
Â*You quoted a foul mouthed **** faced whining little journalist.
Journalists should never ever be trusted.


That is why when I watch news programmes I concentrate on the rolling
ticker=tape at the bottom. That is just news without comment. I can do
without the comments and bloody interviews and all that.


Anybody who pays for news is contributing to the slimy little ****es.
One day soon they'll all go out of business.

Unfortunately no.
There e two many people hanging on every word of foul commentary they
can that the news stations make heaps from the associated advertising
they can sell.
