Public Service announcement, M27

(1/5) > >>

Evilgoat:
Sorry had one of THOSE trips home:

The M27 between Eastleight and the A27 at Farlington actually has 3 lanes!
Yes really, it does, count them! There is absolutely no reason to cause traffic chaos because there are two lanes! You really can just indicate and pull into that spare lane.

But thats the hard shoulder I hear you cry!
No, the hard shoulder is the one with the solid white line.

While we are at it, when theres a queue for the junction feel free to think you know better and use the middle lane to cut in at the end, thus causing the rest of the traffic behind you to have to go from 70 to 5 in about 3 foot and causing mayhem as 400 odd cars try not to pummel you into scrap metal.

When the rest of the road users around you finally give up at suggesting you move out of the middle lane and start overtaking you on both sides its generally OK to swear and gesticulate at them all, after all, 45 in the middle lane when the inside lane is empty is just fine.

Then theres the Tesco twins in their HGVs drag racing each other up Portsdown hill. I mean come on guys, its so much fun to watch as you both his the speed limiters at exactly the same speed and then stay abrest all the way up the busiest section of the M27 causing 3 lanes of traffic to cram into one and a 5 mile tail back to the next junction. Foot to the floor just hoping that your collegues limiter is a few 0.001mph lower than yours.

Contrary to popular beleif, most German cars do actually come with indicators, and other inferior cars are allowed to use the outside lane, no really, they are! Although please, feel free to accelerate/brake so no-one else can get out from behind the Tesco twins.

In fact most cars have indicators and amazingly, they do work before you start turning/changing lanes

And finally, when you are driving at night and you realise you have a car behind you with hazards on, flashing you, and a car in front driving on hazards you might want to conside not swearing at them but TURNING YOUR DAMN HEADLIGHTS ON!

you couldnt be more right... M27 is getting worse and worse due to people not moving over after overtaking someone  :evil:

That is very funny, but unfortunatley very true and not just on the M27!
I shall be traveling on the M25 tomorrow from JCT 25 to JCT 10 and i am realy not looking forward to it!

I may not be the best driver in the world and like others i have got a few bad habits behind the wheel, but some peoples driving is frightening!
Most of us drive big 4x4's, but how many times have people pulled out in front of you or cut you up and then act like they jusy didnt see you? :twisted:

Maybe we all need big flashing lights on our motors :roll:

Cheers

Mark

If it makes you feel better there was a very annoyed truck (which i believe was a tesco one) following me on the dual carriageway last night.  :lol:
He didnt understand the principles of old cars and hills and kept flashing me with his lights like i could change gravity!
When i was doing 70 and slowing to 55 as we got further up the hill it was because my car wouldnt go any faster!. I was noticing the slope and had my foot on the floor!
He sat right on my bumper and then everytime we approached the crest of a hill he would decided to overtake me at 55... then as we would reach the top of the hill and start going downhill I could then speed up again - usually just as he got level with me.
I think he had 3 tries before we finished with the hills and i lost him. Flashed at me every single time! but still never tried to overtake me earlier! ;)
Everybody should have to do atleast one trip in an old car/landrover so they can understand momentum and hills.

Bunnie:
yes! they seem to think the big black 90 sat in there rear seats is just invisable when they pull in/out on you! what makes it worse is mums bloomin horn doest work or the headlight flash so i have to sit and curse myself!
