F*ck you led for backdoor window

Looking for a very big one. Some idiot started flashing their lights at me last night after a perfectly safe overtaking manouver.

They need to be told where to go. It's either this now or get a bazooka to blow them clean off the road.

That happened to me on the Coast road in Sutton in Dublin. Driver in front of me doing 30kmp. The limit is 60kpm. I checked my mirrors, indicated, safely pulled out over the broken white line and overtook him perfectly.

He responded by shaking his fist at me, flashing me and screaming at me. PC gone mad I tell you... I nearly hit the "drop sharp nails and oil on the road" button.

id say it probably wasnt a safe manouvour at all
the other driver probably had to slow down and let you over take to make it safe

Can I get that as an aftermarket mod?


Seriously though, if you overtake someone and you weren't speeding, no solid white line etc. etc. and somebody flashes you don't worry about it. Let them road rage all they like. Although you should check that you don't have your fogs on and they were trying to get your attention.

I know this stretch well, it can be a dangerous because its so tight as the road does bend. The rules say 60kpm so you where in your rights, personally i would have stoped and ask what his/her problem was :mad:

Not nessecarily. Many drivers think things that are dangerous when they are very certainly not.

I don't knwo the piece of road or indeed the driver in question but I do not think we can assume his actions were unsafe based on the reaction of a driver that is only will to do 30 in a 60 zone.

Fair play. I'm going to have to start doing this. Then I'll pull out a 9mm when there near me.

I'm going to open up an anger management clinic right off the Mad Cow Squiggleabout. I'd make a mint with an appropriately placed billboard.

I think he was joking about the whole looking behind you bit.


But sadly anyone aged 17 can have a driver's license if they can memorise a few answers for the DTT.

The causeway is sinking into the mudflats! They are not potholes, they the result of subsidence.

Well, much bigger than that and it's going to block your view

Generally these people will flash you because they are so blissfully unaware of their surroundings, that when you overtake them it is the first time they are even aware of your presence, and you surprized them. They do not appreciate being woken from their day dreaming.

I'd say it was a friend of yours - he recognised your car and was simply flashing to say hello!

chill.

Maybe there was a garda Gatso van ahead and he was warning you??!

Another rant; people who drive without adjusting their headlights properely. Im sick of being blinded by dozy drivers. Adjusts your beam angle downwards ffs!
You know who you are. If your being flashed at and your fullbeams are off then its your dipped headlight angle.

I could do with a **** you LED myself for driving on the south eastern section on the M50 with all the mummies in SUVs sitting several hundred metres behind me in the overtaking lane flashing me any time I need to overtake a slower driver in front.

The default setting for dips* is for them to be as high as they will allow. This setting is for a car that is not weighted down.
If the car is weighted down then the wheel myst be adjusted so that the lights move down. The max setting is usually for a full boot and/or towing a trailer. The reasoning is because the back of the car will be down kind of forcing the front up and therefore the lights pointing higher.

* assuming they are correctly aligned in the first place!

ive had this done to me at night once actually when i was being nice to a fellow motorist trying to merge onto a dual carriageway. instead of cutting him off i moved over into the right lane to let him in (which i wish more people would do for each other btw) and the next thing i know, full double headlight flash from a knob at least 150 metres behind me :rolleyes:. i had seen him before i did this btw and he was well back there and not catching up with me either so it was a safe maneuver.

he didnt even gain on me quickly after this so i kept on doing the limit as i was before and he eventually got around to overtaking me.

id love to know what goes through the minds of idiots like this really but i would have loved a F**K YOU led set up that night although the writing would have to be big because he was so far back at the time, the muppet and an L driver as well :rolleyes:.

i had to make do with returning the favour when he got some distance ahead of me .
