    I think I found a nest here, two of them parked like idiots on a bend.


    Is it so hard to stay in lane?

    Also, I know this is not a car crash/bad merge/etc, but you might be able to help me out. This horrible portable advertisement is taking up a parking spot and I'm pretty sure it's not legal. Who can I report to?

    ...and it seems to have been taken care of :D :pac:

    I had heard before that on certain Lexus/Toyotas, cruise control could not be engaged is the windscreen wipers were in use!

    Probably a load of baloney, anyone any experience of this?

    CC works on an 05 Avensis and a 131 Auris in the rain. No issues at all.

    what if you lose traction?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,777 ✭✭✭Isambard


    so then it's OK to leave it on in adverse weather. Just curious, I don't have CC :-)

    Compilation from September/October.

    a little bit of NSFW language towards the end (fcuking pr1ck cut me up on a roundabout (2 lanes on, 2 lanes off, then a merge), and then waved his fist at me when I beeped him. He then brake checked me later when I gave him a closed fisted wave (a wave not too dissimilar to a masturbatory style wave )).

    And these people have a children chariot.

    Great example to set!

    He was in front of me on Saturday morning near Carpennterstown when I was bringing junior to a GAA match, maybe 20 minutes before you took this. He was holding it with his right hand and changing gears (presumably with his left) unless he was driving an automatic, which I doubt. So no hands on the wheel for a while. Almost lost it turning over Diswellstown bridge in front of me.....

    Did he come up on you sharpish on the roundabout or what Andy?

    We both started moving after the BMW passed, however d1ckhead followed the BMW into lane 1, which was my lane!!

    You see it everywhere when there's 2 lanes entering a roundabout. The ****ers either fall into one of the following.

    A) Can't decide what lane to be in so straddle both lanes entering.

    B) Decide to drive as much as possible in the middle of the lanes thus effectively blocking both lanes.

    C) Enter in left lane for say taking 2nd exit at 12 o'clock but decide to try make it in as straight a line as possible and cross from left lane to right lane before crossing again to take exit.

    D) Left lane for taking say a 3rd exit at 3 o'clock position. Extra bonus points for indicator which of course makes them have right of way and you are wrong.

    E) Exit lanes. Sure who needs to be in the right lane leaving a roundabout either. 2 lanes in becomes one lane out for most of these cnuts.

    F) Free xmas dinner if they can manage all of the above.

    I mainly drive on the weekends (take bus during week), but I can't get over the amount of times I see idiots entering a roundabout in the left land (me in the right) and then they drive straight into the right lane on the roundabout cutting me off! Then when you beep them they glare at you as if you're the moron!

    I thought it was the way he came from your right. Mad to think we have so many roundabouts and yet so few use them properly.

    To be fair though there are many 2 lane on 2 lane off roundabouts that are marked right turn only in the right lane and yet people plow on through regardless! One of my pet peeves


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,236 ✭✭✭Jacovs


    On the topic of roundabouts with 2 on/2 off lanes. The M1/M50 junction which was changed about 6 months ago going towards R139. Coming from the M1 southbound taking the R139 exit onto the junction, it used to be 2 lanes exit to R139 which immediately merged into 1 lane. They have changed it though so there are 2 lanes exiting. But they kept the merge arrow on the right hand lane. And coming up to the junction it is still just left lane for left turn only, right lane for straight only as indicated by arrows on the road. But the amount of people who just dont feel like joining the back of the left turn queue and use the straight only lane to go left too, because sure theres a lane at the exit for them.

    D....heading south on N3 where it meets M3 the amount of clowns using left lane on roundabout to take 3rd exit at 3 o clock beggars belief.

    What if someone was using the right lane to take 2nd exit?

    Skipping the rip off M4 toll today. The white Merc should have stayed on the motorway...

    The white van slowed from 80kph to less than 60kph.

    No doubt the moron sped up again once he got passed the van!
