Motors Chat - Round 6

Alanstrainor

Continuation from motors chat round 5

1.This thread is for motoring topics which you feel are not worthy of starting a new thread for, banter from a meet or general motoring related chit chat.

2.No lonely hearts (This is not a personal dig at anyone, it's how we feel is the best way to describe what we want to avoid. )

3.Keep it clean.

4.The Motors charter applies.

There pretty good mspaint skills as far as they go. Driving a big rig like that though in poor visibility you need eyes in you're hole :pac:.

Yeah but you'd hope you'd remember I just overtook two cars a second ago and I can't see them now....I wonder where they went. Ah sure they must have disappeared.

Sorry about my Paint skills.

Sorry, sounded like you were on a fishing expedition so you could have a go.

Fair enough. Sorry if that came across as high horsey, wasn't meant to be. Wreckless truck driver alright. I've had similar, why is that bus getting very close to me....oh **** brake

Brown trouser moment this morning.

I was driving casually in the rain at 90 km/h on the left lane on the N7.

*Suddenly a wild truck appears*

I must've been in his blindspot since he changed the lane quick. I was lucky enough to swerve into the hard shoulder and not crash.

Glad not to be on tonight's news.

Jaysus. That could have been worse.

I think the good weather has people complacent. Forgotten how to drive in the rain.

Ah feck it anyway. I was going for a spin but seems there are enough out there doing just that. If the main roads and motorways have surface water on them, I can only imagine what the backroads are like. I don't fancy that at all.

The ironic thing is that in the snow most people drive ridiculously slow and I'd be trotting along merrily past them. Same fookers would blitz past me in the wet!

"it won't happen to me" mentality

Big Nasty

I'm a pretty fast driver but it never ceases to amaze me how people don't seem to take in to consideration the road conditions. In good dry weather there wouldn't be too many passing me but in the wet I'm regularly passed like I'm stopped. :eek:

Yeah its pretty shocking, i dunno how many times I hit surface water and the cars dash lit up, wasn't even going fast, so i can imagine what it'd be like

People were still pissing along after driving passed that crash on the M50

A friend called me from the N7 near Naas to say an Audi had spun out in front of a lorry about an hour ago. Sounds bad out there.

The M50 Northbound at blanch has two lanes closed, there's been some nasty accident involving at least four cars

There must have been 30 emergency services personnel milling about when I got past it.

I got 39/40 on mine. It was easy enough. Most of it is common sense, really.

Oh ya they're píss easy, for anyone who's young and can use a computer. Not so easy for an 82 year old who never sat near a computer in his life.

Just as relevant perhaps - how many FAR younger people would fail the theory as well.

Its not even as if hes doing completely hopeless - pass rate 35 out of 40 - he got 33

In fairness if you can't pass the theory test on two sittings, questions about the person's suitability to be on the road should really be asked. No offense to your neighbor or anything but it is a simple multiple choice test of basic motoring questions.

AFAIR it was along the lines of "does this sign mean Stop, Go, or take out your phone"

Some sections of the M50 were flooded this morning, some cars ended up crashing as a result including my mates S15. Clogged drains and any car travel behind another would have been blinded by waves of water.

Drove along there this morning. The m50 has horrendous drainage. Turns into a swimming pool any time there is any sort of prolonged rain.

The Disco 2 with some new tyres did manage very well in it though. You can see above the spray

Neighbour failed his second theory test 33 out of 40 this time though, just needed 2 more to pass! Maybe third time lucky
