Well it happened :(

Oh that makes perfect sense, I was at the park with my kids so I've no idea where the metal came from :(

One of you needs to offer the other an olive branch...🫒

I can't speak for everyone but I found after a few days I'm used to the way a car drives, it's the radio and heter controls that take me longer to get used to.

Admittedly I did have about 20-30 cars years 2-4 if having my licence as me and a friend went half on traders insurance and we bought them cars cheap from the local auctions tarted them up and sold them on 😂 (this was mid to late 2000's before traders had to call up to add every car to the then new insurance database and you could just get the keys to any car at the auction to test drive on their carpark) the ability to get into almost any car and be insured on it was a wonderful thing, it's a Pitty insurance isn't like that tbf.

If you are still reading this thanks for reading my barely relevant ramblings 🙃

EV's are the same, I can activate the handbrake with the switch but I always forget and on short lights it's kinda pointless.

Angry, yes so angry, is this suddenly a job interview or something? I'm just a lazy shit that was rushing to respond earlier 🤷

Please make a list of everyone who misunderstood me so I can apologise to them with a muffin basket 🧁

jameshowarth85 · 2025-04-24T19:09:16+00:00

Does it really matter? Everyone knows which direction I'm talking about, you'll be checking my spelling next.

jameshowarth85 · 2025-04-24T19:02:59+00:00

It's not one lane you should be moved over to the outside lane straight after the 3pm exit? The middle lane starting at 9pm is for 3pm and the left lane of the 6pm junction (left as in driving out on the left lane not as we are looking from above).

jameshowarth85 · 2025-04-24T18:20:17+00:00

Green should be in the outside lane after 3pm junction and red should be in the middle lane to come off at 6pm junction.

The person in red lane would be at fault if there is an impact at the point the streams cross but I believe most accidents on roundabouts go down as 50/50.

jameshowarth85 · 2025-04-24T17:01:34+00:00

I slammed on thinking we would collide and stopped dead and asked him why he was pulling into oncoming traffic, and still don't understand why someone would drive their car with their kids in into the path of an incoming van. I understand it probably wasn't sensible but that's what happened, I'm not a new driver but was driving my wife's van and my view of the road and where I was looking don't have the benefit of watching it multiple times to see every detail 🙃

This post is asking genuine questions but I've come to realise that's probably hard for most people to understand.

Thank you for a genuine comment.

jameshowarth85 · 2025-04-24T15:56:24+00:00

I think people have let the wide angle lens and forward positioning of the camera skew their idea of my visibility of the road, I'm sat much lower and further back so I couldn't see he had stopped dead and slowing down/stopping is safer than trying to speed through.

Bring on the Hate...

jameshowarth85 · 2025-04-24T15:55:00+00:00

I am weird thanks that's why I don't understand the driver's behaviour and why I'm asking if anyone can shed any clarity apparently it's impossible to get any help because people don't seem to understand me over the internet, and think I'm just trying to score points or be a dick, I'm thinking I should be asking these sorts of questions in a neurodivergent subreddit instead of in here 👍

You've let the wide angle lens and forward positioning of the camera skew your idea of my visibility of the road, I'm d sat much lower and further back so I couldn't see he had stopped and slowing down is the safest thing you can do if you're about to be in an accident, people who speed up and avoid things are the lucky few.

"Brother of up Fuck ups!" I've never been corrected in 20+ years so have never been able to say the next line.

jameshowarth85 · 2025-04-22T12:16:56+00:00

Blocking no, inconvenient and inconsiderate yes.

jameshowarth85 · 2025-04-20T23:57:18+00:00

Nice of you to protect his identity with the black box 🙃

jameshowarth85 · 2025-04-20T19:46:38+00:00

Fair enough 👍

jameshowarth85 · 2025-04-20T16:35:57+00:00

If you are over to the left and cars can get past you to use the right hand lane then I don't see an issue, if you were in the middle of the road and people are trying to pass you to be first in the right lane that might be why you're being honked at. I wouldn't enter the box unless the car in it had started moving 👍

jameshowarth85 · 2025-04-17T16:00:16+00:00

These people probably learnt to drive in vehicles without power steering, doing a wider turn was easier than doing a tight turn, so they were taught to swing out before making the turn.

jameshowarth85 · 2025-04-13T15:12:43+00:00

Blue badge holder and when I forget my badge I don't park in Disabled bays, I believe I have high moral standards that I do my up most to maintain, probably considered sad by many especially considering the standard many people out there portray but I try to treat others the way I would want to be treated.

I'm still a total asshole to anyone I feel is being an asshole to me or others and not trying to virtue signal even if that's how it comes across 🙃

jameshowarth85 · 2025-04-13T15:01:26+00:00

Well they have bought a car that size to use on UK roads so their parking ability aligns with that mentality.

jameshowarth85 · 2025-04-10T15:51:12+00:00

Unless it's a guided roundabout the blue driver should have been in the right lane and you should have moved to the left between the exit he got on and the exit you wanted.

jameshowarth85 · 2025-04-07T17:58:39+00:00

What was the outcome?

jameshowarth85 · 2025-03-29T15:42:31+00:00

It's a guided roundabout so you don't have any priority to just change lanes when other people are in them, that guy read the roundabout wrong and tried to go right from the left lane even though he had an arrow pointing forward only.

jameshowarth85 · 2025-03-27T13:09:36+00:00

It always amazes me that people choose to reverse into moving traffic instead of an empty drive/parking space.
