you need a cav/vec twin horn ronnie. they are uber loud and was a must on the turbo
Yeah... definately need to sort it out - just sounds so pathetic... saying that she did hear it - but it merely prompted a sort of "who are you beeping at" situation...
*note to self - add horn to list of jobs to do on the car*
If she was tail gating, you should of hit the brakes to wake her up
Yep - tried that once, and didn't like the way she seemed oblivious to it, so thought better of it and kept at a steady 80.
It really pisses me off when people tailgate someone who is in the fast lane and already breaking the speed limit - obviously they are prepared to disregard the speed limit (not that I'm one to talk here - but still), yet they never seem to want to undertake???
women appear to be less spacially aware.
especially when in town. ever noticed how they just stop in front of you, or in the doorway of a shop preventing ANYONE and ANYTHING from entering/leaving said shop, and then get really shirty when you ask them to move
same on the road. next time your in the car, and a women is driving, ask what the last car was to pass on the right (just colour). or how many cars approx are qued behind them in slow traffic. if they have no idea, then its pretty obvious they're not really paying enough attention as to what is going on.
That's a really good point!
My Mrs is an excellent driver, but most of the time doesn't even realise when there's a police car on her arse...and don't get me started on nearside wingmirror checks for cyclists when turning left!
Gotta agree really,
and yet us lads still pay more insurance
Ladies seem to think they are the only people using the roads, oblivious to what is happening around them
It blows doesn't it! My gf is only 22, and pays half the insurance on her 1.2 clio sport, as what I pay on the Sei - and I'm almost 25!! GAY!
I think the operative word here is 'some' lads
Sorry Helz - no real response to your comment, just didn't want you feeling left out
wow that sounds well scary,
i'm female and will admit 98% of female drivers cant drive. I know myself im stil learning as i only passed my test in Jan so i have alot to learn, but i drive from wigan to southampton alot. The stuff you see on motorway is madness, one thing that i hate is ppl not keeping left when they aint overtaking.:bang:
I wouldn't say that women in general are bad drivers - I think unfortunately they seem to magically pass their tests first time, and as a result get complacent.
My sister failed her test 4 times, and is a fantastic driver (if a little gas happy), on the other hand a work collegue of mine passed first time, and is appallingly bad - I wouldn't get in a car with her, and I sure as hell wouldn't want to be on the same stretch of motorway as her!
As for the not keeping left thing, are we referring to center lane hoggers?
Some people (myself) do it to avoid weaving - if I can judge far enough ahead to know that I wont want to overtake, then ile sit in the left lane - but when I'm looking 20 or so cars ahead and see people driving slower than I want to go, then I'll stay put in the middle - purely because it's less dangerous.
I try not to stay in the fast lane too long though.
