Locked threads always are a pain...why was said thread locked...?

Bush Tucker Man · « **Reply #33 on:** August 26, 2007, 13:46:15 »

My major moan for today is concerning drivers who don't read the road conditions/markings & allow for other traffic

Ie;
1. Indicating a turn in a filter lane, if you can only turn left, why indicate left?

2. 'Bullying' learners. Hey! we were all there once!

3. Not allowing space/slowing down for Horses

4. Not giving cyclists the room that they may need, especially when the weather is bad*

5. Ignorant drivers who fail to respond, upon my allowing them out/slowing down to let them past an obstacle.

6. 'Might is Right'. Yes!, I do know that trucks may require the added bonus of momentum at times.

7. Improper use of front & rear fog-lights. NO!!, it's not cool, it just tells me that you haven't got a clue about the switchgear of your car & that can also point to a general lack of awareness.

8. Music so loud that you can't hear the Ambulance behind you & then turning right as it overtakes you :shock: Seriously, this happens, & has resulted in (well deserved) prosecutions :D

* I know this may possibly gather replies concerning the question of 'Shouldn't cyclists be insured/tested?'

It's generally a requirement of membership of a BCF (British Cycling Federation) registered club that riders club members also arrange (at least) Third party insurance upon joining.
I have.

Before this dissolves into a 'pot/kettle' arguement, I'm stepping in.

Mikee, be nice. [-X
Abyss, if you can't respond with repsect, we'd rather you didn't respond at all. =;

Now can all parties think more carefully before putting finger to keyboard. Fun, friendly, free - that's our motto here. 8)

Your co-operation is appreciated.

Get fed up with the mods on here jumping on nearly every post, locking down posts and being generally unhelpful

Wondering when they'll be changing the forum name to Kinder School Play Forum :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

gtomo2 · « **Reply #44 on:** August 27, 2007, 09:18:59 »

Well i am not moaning about the mods on here as i think they do a good job in what little spare time they have and i have never had a problem with any of the rules on here. Plus i know that when i look at a post it wont contian bad words or naked people. if you have a look around at some of the other fourms that are avalible all you get on some is swearing, insuilting and pics of womans parts you don't want your kids to see.
So crack on mods.
but if people dont think the mods do a good job then why not swop places with a mod for a week or two and see how you get on.

Anyway why do they call orange jam marmalade. And why wont a council tip let you tip your rubbish cost your car wont fit under there hight barrier

Never had a problem with the tip even with the works tranny. My mate went with his Shogun and hit the barrier :roll: . went again the next week and the man at the tip said 'you can get under that' .... His reply......' see the dint in my roof?? That tells me it wont :twisted:

Sounds a familiar story :roll:
At one time there was no barrier. Then it was there & opened as needed.
Then open only on certain days. Now it' apparantly "If It Won't Go Under We're not Letting You In"

if I want to dump stuff now, I have to drive past the land-fill about a mile away, queue through Wakefield & the queue to get into the Waste Management HQ

To be fair, the vast majority of members never have any trouble with the mods. It's the ones who can't follow the simple rules who tend to get frustrated. And I love the idea of mods jumping on "nearly every post" :lol: If you're finding that's the case then you should probably start to wonder why that is!

Mine open the barrier, or wait while I do. But once I went down with some stuff on the roof rack. Apparently that counted as commercial waste, so I wasn't allowed to dump it. So I had to drive back out the tip, unload the stuff from the roof rack, stuff it all inside :twisted: and then they let me dump it!

You are lucky, our's won't open........ if we go in the 300 which is slightly lifted we have to go 8 miles to the biggest tip which doesn't have barriers

this also means when we have the trailer on we have to go there cos the 300 is the only one that can tow it at the moment, can't go in my 90 at all cos its a hard top and classed as commercial and cos we got a special pass to take our SIIa soft top to the tip we cannot have another for the 90 :roll: flaming idiots

I've been told I can get a pass for the 110, but they still might not open the barrier at the local one (got to go to HQ)

It was so much easier when we lived inStanley, I'd just go up to the Leeds site at Newsam Green & drive straight. No problems, no badges

Why do some bus drivers think two flashes of their indicators mean they can pull out infront of you?

CaptainColourful · « **Reply #58 on:** August 28, 2007, 01:43:47 »

Why is it that trucks & vans who are delivering use hazard warning lights whilst they are stationary between other parked vehicles ?

As you approach them the tendency is to be aware of them likely to be pulling out cos all you can see is one indicator flashing.The one by the kerb is invisible to anyone approaching them.

Is he or isn't he going to pull out ?

The darned truck/van is big enough to see anyway, and nobody is going to run into them whilst they have another vehicle behind or in front of them.

Oh and before anyone says owt, I drive an LGV myself but rarely use the hazards unless protecting the scene of an accident or have broken down on a clear road.
A properly parked vehicle is not a hazard, so why use hazard warning lights ?
Rant over, time for the cot.

This was one of the main reasons for me choosing a cherokee in the first place - so that it would fit under.

Now got into off roading raising it 3" and fitting 31" muds - when its done it will be touch and go whether it fits under the barrier - but such is life, because I now love it.
