I'm rather pissed that I can't work on them sooner!

Project mange has to be the most counter productive and pointless subject DIT has to offer :mad:

Leaving college was the best thing I ever did. F*** exams!

Been there done that, was on the dole the same time too. What a wild 2 years that was!

Exams?

Work placement over Christmas, final report due, 2 x 2 monthly reports due, financials and finances for another college project due, another final report for project mange due (yes, mange), 2 presentations to do and an exam.

As well as much needed hubs for my car and others to strip, can't do a thing till about mid January.

Christmas is cancelled for me!

Exams still ain't over for me, been doing them all week. Got another this evening at 6pm and one more tomorrow at 6pm too.

I have never looked forward to cleaning the car so much. It's manky inside and out, covered in pizza boxes, coke bottles and old scraps of paper! Before and after pics are a must this time.

Hehehe...

Coming oiff the M1 onto the M50, from the Port Tunnel. There's a big long left to shoot straight down the M50. ...

Went in at the speed limit...

Didn't come out doing the speed limit.

It may have been little more than a Renault MPV, but I swear the Scenic was giggling. I was. Five seconds of fun. You'd get bored and fall asleep if you didn't find quick ways to amuse yourself from time to time....

The settle back into traffic and hope nobody saw you.

what is the law when you buying a car? The one that is just few miles away is 99% rubbish. almost always you got to go to another side of the damn island to buy something decent. and that does not matter where you start! :pac:

Well there is only one scooby in the whole world with no spoiler, so your experiences dont count

Generally that would give them enough room to get up and go without hitting you.

Sorry I was thinking if they rolled back without noticing in traffic

Okay a question for ye.

Behind a car we come to a y (with a stop sign) road in a small town, car turns left doesn't indicate. :rolleyes:
Then the the car brakes suddenly, and turns into a parking space on the side of the road. doesn't indicate for a second time. Now "IF" I crashed into the back of the car the second time it didn't indicate. Who would be at fault? (I presume it would be my word against theirs situation, about not indicating.)

As already said, tis your fault in that case. Indicators have no legal standpoint, so it doesn't matter if they do or don't indicate - it will never affect the decision of who's in the wrong. Keep back and expect people to do stupid things.

MetzgerMeister wrote: »

Yup, your fault. Even if you are stuck in traffic on an incline and the car in front rolls backwards into your car when they are trying to take off again, it's still your fault for not keeping your distance even though you didn't budge.

Eh.... no. Dunno where you heard that, but the car moving is the car responsible. It'd be the exact same as if you reversed into a parked car.
