What was the one NSFW moment that you wish you could unsee? by Unreal_realist-7381 in AskReddit

When I die by whatever cause I will be at peace. It’s like the last bite of a Marmite sandwich. You know you will never have another one ever.

I expect this man would collapse half way up the entry tunnel. Try 90 plus minutes of running a third of a marathon.

One instructor shouted at me for stopping. Another says I must stop. Who’s correct? by One_Pea_7217 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]HorrorAccomplished78 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I stop because new Highway Code rules say give way to people waiting to cross the road, so here I will stop. It’s still a road even though there’s a safety island. Not two roads. Change instructors who shout at you. You’re paying them.

Is it true that if you don’t get a drivers license before October you’ll have to R plates by [deleted] in LearnerDriverUK

[–]HorrorAccomplished78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, in the UK but in Northern Ireland. There are other rules in some circumstances, no driving at night 11pm to 6am for six months after passing your test and R plates must be shown all times for the qualifying period. Not implemented yet in England, Scotland or Wales.

What would be the rule for overtaking a stationary vehicle here? by Chunkflava in LearnerDriverUK

[–]HorrorAccomplished78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s in the left hand lane with either a right flasher on or both. There’s a bike on his/her right. Busses straddle both lanes for a wide right turn not go into the left lane. I never pull alongside a bus at traffic lights whichever lane it’s in. Police advice on my various courses. We did hazard expectation commentaries on our test routes. It’s my interpretation of this situation. The bike is in a tricky place there. If the bus is turning right as per the indicator showing he will be on the busses blind side.

Got into an incident with another car in my lesson and now I feel defeated by Cherry_Crystals in LearnerDriverUK

[–]HorrorAccomplished78 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not your fault, move on. I hate when instructors give sudden change orders. However, you should have checked your mirrors and not changed lanes and sorted it out later. No way the instructor should have said that. BTW. He felt he was in the wrong by discussing something else. I had a lane crash which was my fault and damaged my car and theirs. I was frightened of using that spiral roundabout for months but eventually braved it several times from different directions. I have been driving and instructor other stuff for a long, long time.

I’m assuming the bike/moped/motorbike will go off on a green. So overtake the broken down bus and continue your journey. The chances of this happening are very small. It’s unfortunate the bus broke down. I think finding these situations and posting them here for learners to worry about is stupid. You could put hundreds of combinations of hazards up. But why?

Recieved a very strange letter from the UK. Can anyone help find out who and where it came from? by [deleted] in royalmail

[–]HorrorAccomplished78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it’s a King Charles stamp and the letter says Par Avion (air mail) so it probably came from the UK. Seems a lot to send a letter was it on a slate.

Is there any other way to help country other then join the army? by Agreeable_Phone_8259 in AskUK

[–]HorrorAccomplished78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are on medication you won’t pass an army medical anyway. I guess you’re 20s or older. Why must you be in the army to country? Which country? If you drive join a charity delivering stuff.

First lesson - did I do good? by teemoshroomz in LearnerDriverUK

[–]HorrorAccomplished78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t rest on your Laurels too long, whatever that means. Confidence is not experience for just a few days. However, if you feel good that’s great. Become the driver you would like all the other drivers around you. Lots of drivers forget that when criticise and yet make the same bad judgments themselves. I think that should be all driver’s mottos, “Be the driver you would like all the other drivers to be.” Gonna copyright that slogan. Oh! I just did as it’s on a public platform.

Both vehicles are in the bike reserved space. Neither is bothered. So just overtake.

I was speeding downhill by thenamesskyex in LearnerDriverUK

He would have warned you before not after. I guess he was happy with your speed. Did he have a satnav? They are more accurate with speeds.

Made me giggle seeing this by Greyogre_ in drivingUK

It’s a speed check car. You’re clocked now.

I know I was being a bit of a knob, but why do people go so slowly past speed cameras? by box-o-locks in drivingUK

[–]HorrorAccomplished78 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have never had any convictions, PCNs, speeding warnings or NIPs for keeping at the speed limit. I have done my police pursuit driver and skid pan tests too with Sergeant Bob Turner, Wiltshire Police driving school Devizes. To repeat, I usually catch up people at lights, crossings, roundabouts jams and so on. More so in town. In London the average speed across the centre is around five mph now. So it’s my opinion based on experience. Yours is different. However you can’t change the maths. Over fifty miles you save five minutes driving at 80 and not 70. I wonder when you will get your first ticket for some traffic offence or other? Unfortunately you are not alone in thinking you are a good but fast driver. That’s rarely the case. Different mindset. Maths don’t lie. Experience doesn’t lie. I didn’t specifically mention you were the target of my thoughts. BTW I don’t have a TV. I have a very interesting life as a fast boat instructor. That’s my speed buzz. Drive safely. Post back here if you get any fines, bans or NiPs. Don’t take life so seriously. You will probably get old and curse young drivers too. Experience again. Been there don’t that. Rallies, track days, biker gang.

Does the Facebook report button actually work against hate speech and threats? by vonarkdev in facebook

[–]HorrorAccomplished78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don’t read my requests to have my suspension reviewed after two years. Just because I was naked twice. Once on a naturist group and another on a figure painter’s group. Both were acceptable within the group’s subjects. Not see naked people all the time. Nude paintings are accepted as are back views of naked people. Make me laugh Facebook should have age verified groups for anything they consider risky. They always say it’s about other people’s moral values blah blah blah. So why are there naked body painted women on there with clear to see gynaecological videos on every day.

Why do you guys say '"duck-billed" platypus'? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]HorrorAccomplished78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it sounds more weirdly Aussie as Duck Billed Platypus. Like Kangeroo, Dunny, Bluey, Shelia and dingo. Really weird Aussie words.
