"No. I mean car drivers. Especially those that aren't me.
Do you drive granny?
I hope so. Someone keeps moving my car. Fucking hope it's me."
Haha!! Where do they keep moving it?  |

Grinds my gears do they think I have crystal ball on my dashboard fs?
Then there’s the other extreme they leave the bloody thing on, then it’s Russian roulette as to whether to overtake them on the motorway  |

Just assume that everybody on the road is a homicidal imbecile. Always look both ways crossing a one-way street, assume that not indicating probably means turning and indicating probably means not turning.
That's how I cope.  |

We, er, "discuss" this regularly. I did a driving course based on RoadCraft, the Police driving style. That says you only use them when it's not obvious what you'r going to do i.e. if you're in a turn right only lane, why indicate right? We both think the other does it too little, just in different places! |

Why did you do road craft? |

To work and back. Or to the supermarket. Are you awake ? |

"Why did you do road craft?"
Long story short - was open to all, and I got offered it as a freebie by a former employer. 10 week course, but pretty much all classroom. But being taken out by one of the Police driving instructors made up for it! One or two useful things I learnt that I still use now, particularly around road positioning. |

Here’s a spanner in the works? You try driving forty ton of articulated lorry, especially when your trying to keep momentum, you enter a roundabout when it’s clear then a F1 arsehole comes hurtling round no indication, well fuck em, if I’m moving they’re stopping, I’ll not give way to ignorance? Thumb to nose. |

The way that people drive around HGVs gives me nightmares  |

The penultimate time I was a passenger in my aunts car she began to indicate about three turnings before the one she wanted. I pointed it out to her and she got quite cross  .
The final time I was a passenger she mounted the opposite pavement whilst executing a right turn.
She was indicating on both occasions so she'd be spared your wrath Granny, at least.  |

The shit drivers are mainly foreign, they’ve got know road sense? especially on our busy roads? I’ve driven for 30 years, I’ve never had an accident? Yet, but every time I came close it’s always a foreigner! When you do as many mile as I do, it amazing how many bumps on the hard shoulder involve our European fellows. |

"Who designs indicators? New cars often have really shit indicators that are really difficult to see.  "
Yeah they’re getting a bit daft. I saw a car the other day and the indicators were about two feet towards the centre of the car. They should be on the outermost edge surely. |
