On the other hand, the overuse of fog lights is dangerous too, and all too prevalent.

Re: Driving rants (max 2 per person)
A shout out for the temporary traffic lights on the bridge on Colne Rd close to Prestige. About 20 yards on one side coned off. Nobody working, no hole, no road damage, no obvious reason whatsoever why that bit of road isn't open, but huge traffic jams both ways clogging up the road. If it was dark I'd have jumped out and bloody moved them myself!!

It would appear that every works, regardless of how insignificant, requires its own light control.

Middle lane "hoggers" on motorways.
"Thoughtful" drivers letting people out of side roads at junctions.

Re: Driving rants (max 2 per person)
The absolute morons who think the left hand lane is for turning right when coming off at junction 9 of the M65. Especially in the evening when we’re all trying to get home and these selfish Pr!ck5 don’t give a flying proverbial.
The equally moronic drivers coming off at junction 5 of the M65 in the morning who come through well after the lights have turned red, only to then block the road for those wanting to head into Blackburn meaning they then sit through a full round of lights back to red again, not able to go anywhere

1) drivers who want to go over cattle grids at 50 mph! Why don't people slow down anymore? Their suspension must be screwed.
2) people who don’t indicate and expect you to have ESP to predict their next move.

I think you are supposed to zip merge when you have gone passed first 2 turnsclaret wizard wrote: ↑Sun May 14, 2023 8:08 pmInteresting one. Signage coming up Westgate makes no indication of Westbound vs Eastbound lane, both lanes are labelled M65. Driver coming up there for the first time would assume they could use either lane. In fact, logically you’d assume the inside lane would be for the first 2 turns, down Burnham gate or Accy Road, and the outside lane for the right, and final, turn off the roundabout.

No, Taffy the quote does not end "Mad as a bag of snakes!" it ends "a bureaucratic fascist oligarchy".
Being welsh, I would have thought you would have been fed socialist dogma from an early age.
