QUOTE (Andy Capp @ Oct 7 2012, 10:33 AM) Tractors and people driving at 40 in a 60. Tractors, no problem, as they are usually put into a layby to allow traffic to pass. 40 in the 60, Yes, that REALLY gets my goat. I assume you are referring to the a4 Newbury to Reading?

Lack of indication at road junctions has the effects of sending my blood pressure into the danger zone. Many a time I have sat at a junction awaiting the necessary gap only for the damned car to turn into my road. The loud utterance of the word "winker" (sic) goes unheeded by which time the road is busy again. Personally , and it is a personal viewpoint , I think the perpetrators should be shot .

QUOTE (Ron @ Oct 7 2012, 04:53 PM) Drivers who drive along with an indicator going and passing junction after junction! They must figuratively be either deaf or blind. Maybe they took my passing words on board and thought the best cause of action is to have them on at all times .

QUOTE (Strafin @ Oct 7 2012, 07:55 PM) I have never heard anybody say that you shouldn't indicate, you never can be sure who is around, and you can't see round corners. See this. (3) is a moot point, and probably where I would err on the side of caution.

Possibly, but the A339 and A4 to Hungerford is a nuisance!

QUOTE (Biker1 @ Oct 7 2012, 05:43 PM) Seconded wholeheartedly! Agree, particularly idiots who give one flash AFTER starting to move into the outer lane. Oh, and those morons who pull out behind you on the outside lane, are then about five feet behind you. No chance if you happen to brake as they swing over.
