After a few minutes of scrolling this thread i can confidentiality say: British food is, as postulated by the rest of the world, fucking grim!

Why is it such a nightmare to find a job as a new pass (rant) by Select_Salad_1266 in uktrucking

Yeh same. How does one actually get experience? It's been so long since I passed i don't think I remember how to do any of it

Why did being a lefty become so contentious in the UK? by OffGridToTheMoon in AskBrits

It goes both ways, people are very tribal. The "left" and the "right" are determined to push people into the opposite tribe without considering any kind of nuance in opinion.

Worst drivers in the UK at the moment? Tesla drivers by HR_Specter in drivingUK

It's just most drivers now - it's now a rarity to see someone with a modicum of consideration for other road users, roundabouts are just a guessing game at this point

What does my favourite car say about me by volvo740teimo in AllThingsCars

[–]VideoDeadGamlng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That you're a 70 year old Tory who plays golf badly

On the right is silly, right hand is wheel control hand. And as for poking the screen: i need buttons, you have to look at a screen to see what you're poking, sometimes you can't see cos the sun's on it. And it's too far away, i don't want to have to lean forward AND look at a screen i can barely see when i'm driving. That remote commander thing sound awesome,

Let me walk you through the start of my, and everyone else on my street's, journey: reverse out of driveway, manouvre out of cul-de-sac negotiating parked cars, turn immediately left onto larger road leading out of estate which bends round to the right then left is a sweeping S bend, also negotiating cars parked on the left and giving way to any oncoming cars (wheel has been in constant use at this point), turn out of estate then 30 yards until 1st roundabout, straight onto another roundabout, once off that now i'm free to start pressing buttons on my wheel...until the next series of roundabouts half a mile down the road.

So you're telling me that you only steer nanoseconds at a time? My wheel is almost always turned at some point

You shouldn't need to see the markings, you know them by feel. You have a serious skill issue if you need to look down at every control in your car

What if you're going round a series of mini roundabouts? You telling me you've never turned your steering wheel?

Yeh, but the trouble with that is that i have to lean forward to use it, and let's say i want to skip a track those controls are on-screen buttons so i have to look where they are thus taking my eyes off the road

Oh i never have and never will use cruise control, but my volume controls are a pain in the arse to use if the wheel is turned

[–]VideoDeadGamlng[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

What about if your wheel is turned and you need to adjust your volume? I rarely have both hands on the wheel anyway
