I don't pull into the kerb because I'd kerb the wheel going up it, and if I let everyone past id be waiting hours.

You could pull up close to the kerb before the driveway. Let them pass then, when the road is clear, swing across & reverse in?

 

[sludgeguts]

worth watching to the end :devil:

I was reading about this earlier today & hoped I could catch some of the video.
At least his ending was better than this guy's...


And the winner of the 2014 Darwin award is...:devil:

The road wouldn't clear until about 8pm, I'd have more chance of getting a parking ticket unfortunately.

Then your other option is to take more control of the situation. Indicate in advance then as you draw closer, put on your hazards, slow everything behind to a crawl, then quickly swing into the kerb & across the road at an angle.
Any idiot that gets up your arse deserves to be reversed into.

I'll try and let you know.

Video please

EDIT: at what point in reverse selection does the GP switch the reverse light on? On the Stilo it was only when the lever was over to the side, before being fully engaged, might be worth checking this, as you'll be able to illuminate your reverse ligth a few meters in advance, giving plenty of warning but not damaging your gear box.

I already do that, notice the rear wiper coming on?

Just watched that biker one. That was in York that!

My thoughts on it are the woman ran into the road without even looking, If I was to have done that I would have looked left first before jumping blindly into a road. If I had ran blindly across a road of stationery traffic and got hit by a bike I'd blame myself for not looking.

Reminds me of when a guy flying a model airplane flew it over the clay pidgeon shooting site during a club meet! He came over and had a go for it getting peppered :nutter:

Most Easterly Pandas it comes on, once you move the leaver to the right past where the 'pull up to go into reverse thing' would normally stop you.

First time i've seen this thread, some of the stuff that's happened to me, i might invest in one of these dash bard cams and get it all on tape!

i would have moved to the left lane as soon as i had passed the exit before the one i was turning off at, so i would have not been cutting corners, and van would not have thought i was staying on the roundabout

 

[FatherJack]

Thanks guys, I don't mind the fact that he was going slow, it's the reason why (on the phone) he was going slow that pissed me off, trying to steer and get into second gear with one hand.

ffs nothing happens, wasted my time watching it expecting to see something

 

[Liquid Knight]

That'd be the point. Nothing happens; was it worth the risk?

 

[kyle96]

Recently I've been accepting peoples mistakes and not flashing/beeping, there's been a few times last couple weeks that people have made horrendous mistakes but I feel that when I beep and flash that I come across as some boy racer dickhead, might start letting people know their mistakes from now on though

Driver reported to Co-op.

I've complained to Royal fail about a driver just walking across the road infront of me

I saw the one to the left - but not the one to the right - Full emergency stop
