shao_khan Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 This mornign on my drive in - hugely infuriating, several times (in total about 30 mins on my journey) did people block an entry or exit because they were moving into congestion, when 1 seconds thought would have allowed the rest of us to move out of it and onto a clear road - what is ti with people, get a grip, look at your surroundings and let people out if you cant go anywhere - and you the Toscar in the Silver Merc, 15 mins I wasted because you bloked two entire lanes instead of letting us into the traffic - I hope you suffer 4 punctures on the way home today you inconsiderate wan ker (or would that be Lanker as it was local area not wide area?). Anyway - I just wish folks would take a bit more time to consider those around them, it would make veryones life easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milo Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 No, it's just that my commute starts at 09:15 or later and I'm home for 14:00. I also avoid the A19, the Tyne Tunnel and Newcastle city centre. Bellingham and Otterburn were not very congested at 11:00 yesterday morning for example when it was 31° and the sun was shining.

NewNiceMrMe Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Meanwhile, I sat in 80 minutes of fecking traffic for a 16 mile trip yet again. PLUS...the fecking council are going to start roadworks on Sandy Lane (Gosforth) next week. Not happy, not happy at all. At this rate I might as well by a pushbike.

shao_khan Posted July 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Gosforth - bit posh round there innit? All my friends that lived there had huge big houses, so I guess the roadworks will be a better class of roadwork as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theduisbergkid Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 Spread some good karma, let a few out and hope that a few will let you in ... either that or buy a hummer and bully everyone else out of the way ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beez Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 [ QUOTE ] I just wish folks would take a bit more time to consider those around them, it would make veryones life easier. [/ QUOTE ] I normally let people out when it's just silly to do so. If I see someone's been waiting to get off a side road for ages and into the main stream of traffic and about 10 cars just went past without a care, I'll often just stop and let them out then look in my rear view to find out there's no one behind me so they could have waited an extra 2 seconds and gone anyway. I think I give way a lot because most people have a purpose to their driving, whereas I don't normally...I'll just be there...wasting fuel, polluting the atmosphere and for no reason either. Plus I'm just a nice guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
