*Berty* · 26-09-2009, 17:30

Little bit scary! I'd hope that road users already know how to use a roundabout???

Do you drive at all?

Im off out to get some beer and a Pizza soon(countdown to stupid posts later) and have to pass through 10 roundabouts(20 return journey) and will guarantee people will not know how to use them.

I hate post 5pm Mon-Fri / Weekend drivers.

Rsa vids in question: http://www.rulesoftheroad.ie/videos.html they don't like firefox but played fine in opera.

They've gotta do a follow-up on 'how to use a motorway'.

Maybe with a parallel radio advert voiced by Ray D'Arcy.
A simple 'get out of the fukking over-taking lane' would do it.

It's all covered on that link. All they need to do now is enforce the rules.

Motorways

This video explains how to drive on Motorways. The following sections of the Rules of the Road apply…

Really? Is it any good or is it the usual scary faux-snuff movie involving toddlers flying through the air and people getting pinned against brick walls by out of control cars?

FFS rsa, why are you using quicktime and windows media? Upload those videos to youtube and embed them, it isn't hard. Or at least embed them as flash, it's really quite easy. Send me a pm if you need help.

Muppets.

Oh sorry, you'll need wait for them to go to tender first, submit your reply to their 40-page RFT questionnaire then gnash your teeth horribly as either Accenture or Bearing Point are awarded a seven-figure state contract for providing 'Strategic Knowledge Transfer Technical Format Change Consultancy', or, as we'd call it, file-conversion services.

At least the voice over isn't GB, the pr/ck.

Was delighted to see it - honestly think alot of the mistakes made on roundabouts are simple ignorance of the correct procedure.

Trampas · 26-09-2009, 19:39

I have nearly got the back end of my car taken by idiots not knowing the rotr when driving on roundabouts when it is a 2 lane roundabout

I do not think that the people who the advert is appealing to will actually pay attention to it and will most likely switch off when the ad comes on thinking "sure why do I have to listen I know how to use a roundabout anyway"

OR

be like my mother when I corrected her(mistake btw)

"Sure Im on the roundabout, everybody else can yield to me" bought license in the 70's during the amnesty
