View Full Version : The worst case of confirminators I have ever seen

Today... witnessed.... Greenlane/Mway interchange

Car moves into the middle lane, from the right. Said car then indicates left for a second and stops - clear post-facto confirmination. Not only had they already shown they were going to move, they had completed the move, before indicating!! :blink: .

The car then re-indicates left, while failing to be in the left lane to go onto the motorway north. I assume they might try and go left, given the hesitancy of their pulling out, and because there were no cars to their left. Instead, they continue out onto the roundabout (ie going kinda right) while indicating left. Failing to stay in their lane, they then cut off the car on the inside lane of the roundabout, realise and swerve back into their lane.

They then fail to indicate going off the roundabout, and I come up beside them, and look over. Two late-middle-aged ladies chatting to each other.... :wacko:

As I'm looking at them I see the right hand wheels are inside my lane, and they are moving towards me. Lady then does a post-facto head check, and sees me. Goes back into own lane, indicates right, slows to 40, and pulls in behind me...

I shake my head and wonder that people like that are allowed to be on the roads, and wonder if she knows what she has just done....

She managed not to rear end me when I stopped at the lights - for some reason she was being observant at that point - and subsequently turned off into a side street...

Yeah well.... she just seemed to be doing everything as an afterthought..... scary stuff.... She almost hit the car she cut off....

I dont think she woulda hit me, I was very wary of her by that time....

And once you are in front of them, at least you are not obligated to stop for their *accident*. Safer in front for sure. :eek5:

And maybe when they got to their destination the driver got out of the car - and then stopped it as an afterthought! :wacko:

Now that is a pleasant picture..... lady gets out of car, falls on her ass, then decides to run after car and apply brake properly.... :lol:
