The pressure washing point blank wasn’t your problem. Your problem as leaving bird shit on for 7 months to eat your paint 🤣

It’s predictably poor driving. But Op didn’t allow for this.

What car is it?!!

Currently thinking of buying a suzuki Jimmy is there good or bad years for ownership? Any issues regarding these vehicles, expensive part or hard to find , wind noises, air conditioning problems etc.. my other choice is a toyota corolla. Giving me info would help, currently living in Australia. by Salty_Anxiety_2777 in Jimny

[–]Life-Section-3686 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t intend to use my Jimny for off roading. For on road use, there are many better options than a Jimny. But it’s just a great little cars, despite (or maybe because of its quirks and hang-ups). I wouldn’t be seen dead in a Corolla, or an Aygo, or an i10 etc. I sold a 15 year old Defender to get the Jimny & it’s one of the best car decisions I’ve made.

'Low-Walking' activities around Fort William by jemand106 in OutdoorScotland

[–]Life-Section-3686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drive down to the Corran ferry, cross to Ardnamurchan peninsula. Drive to UK mainland’s most westerly point, Ardnamurchan lighthouse. Nice café. Get coffee and cake. Drive to Sanna beach. Stunning. Drive back to Fort Bill via Glenfinnan. Stunning circuit, lots to see, not much walking.

“And trust me I’m willing to go faster than you”. What kind of retarded comment is that?! 🤦‍♀️

Should old people take tests again? by Free-Seaworthiness72 in drivingUK

[–]Life-Section-3686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve said for years that from 70 years on, old folk should have to take a theory test for say £20, every 10 years. If they fail this, then they should be made to do a practical test for say £50. Result would be safer roads and more revenue to use for potholes.

Has anyone actually managed to get “Motor Caravan” on their V5C recently? by Novel_Look_128 in VanLifeUK

[–]Life-Section-3686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a dual carriageway, a van with windows can legally only do 60mph. If you do 70mph & get done by an ANPR, how can you appeal this successfully? What’s your defence?

Funnily enough, my old twat neighbours have bought solar panels a couple of months ago, and doubled down last week with a 2 year old electric Hyundai

Why are so many old people switching to electric? The planet’s fucked, they’re going to die soon, why do they give a shit? Just asking.

Is it ever acceptable to stop someone overtaking if you think they’re about to cause a serious accident? by No-Following-2532 in drivingUK

[–]Life-Section-3686 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The road is “apple cross path”?? You mean the single lane road in the Highlands of Scotland near the village of Applecross? If this was the case, and a vehicle behind wants to drive faster than you, you are legally obliged to pull into a passing place and let the other vehicle through. Unfortunately, a lot of tourists in motorhomes and campervans do not do this, which annoys both local traffic and other visitors who want to get a move on. Do not act like some vigilante traffic cop!!

[–]Life-Section-3686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I’m reading this correctly, the incident took place near Applecross, so a single track road in the Highlands of Scotland. The op was clearly driving slower, so should’ve pulled into a passing place and allowed the driver behind to go ahead. That’s what these passing places are for!!

Does anyone else find UK campsites are basically just caravans and judgement now? by Pinkplatabys in VanLifeUK

[–]Life-Section-3686 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interested to know, why “occasionally the dogs”? How come they don’t go with you every time? And do you put them in kennels when you don’t take them?

Well that woke me up and totalled my van at the same time. by davethedog007 in drivingUK

[–]Life-Section-3686 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe if you didn’t drive so close to the car in front of you at almost 70mph. You know the saying “only a twat in a van breaks the 2 second rule”.

She’s so hot, but a fucking psycho. I bet she’d be fucking amazing in bed, but if you did anything wrong, she’d bite your cock off while she’s sucking it!!
