wizzer has a spectacular aura about
Angry Stating the blindingly obvious.

We shouldn't have to state the blindingly obvious but I think there are so many examples of bad driving out there we should have a thread that maybe some of these people will read.

Here is my blindingly obvious tip.
Use the Flashy things to show which direction you intend to turn in...

Anyone else got any blindingly obvious tips to pass on

Just because you're going slow, doesnt mean you're driving safe.

Just because you're old as gods dog, and single handedly took down most of Hitlers Empire, doesnt mean you know how to drive, or are as good as you used to be.

Just because you've passed your test, doesnt mean you can drive.

The outside lanes on a motorway are for OVERTAKING only.

Some of these very old drivers (I'm only a little bit old at 38!) have so much skill and experience that they don't need to look or think at all.

Default Re: Stating the blindingly obvious.

same as waynne was on about outside lane, the middle lane is not for coasting along in when theres nuthin else on the inside

also people who dont realise there meant to stay in their lane on a roundabout and not cut across the lane im in and nearly take off the bumper of ma car. and for god sake dont people realise that when your in a lane thats turn left only and a green arrow indicates that you can go, that you can go!
