Post Menstrual?

... If youre on a main fucking road, and you want to turn fucking right, across fucking traffic, and there are fuckimg vehicles behind you, or youre likelyto impede fucking traddic PULL TO THE FUCKING LEFT AND WAIT UNTIL YOURE NOT GOING TO FUCK UP ANYONES DAY.

Put simply... NO. You can fucking wait.

(You should be on a motorbike anyway you idiot so what's the problem? Or did you crash it on your driveway?)

[awa355]

You do if it's big and coming at you at 100kph ...

Doesn't apply to John Key. But then, he's PM of 'his' society, and most of us undesirables dont form part of his world.

Why?

If by stopping in the middle of the road you're creating a danger for yourself or others then the sensible thing to do is pull over to the left and turn when it's clear.

I fucking HATE cars that pull over to the left to wait for traffic - I'm NEVER sure they've seen me coming and I watch for that sudden turn in front of me ...

I hate it when I come around a corner and there's a car stopped on the left - what's the silly fucker going to do? Is it waiting to turn and go down that drive or side road? Is it going to pull out and go straight in front of me ... I never never trust the fuckers.


I love it once I'm passed them and still alive ...

One of my clients in on a 100kph road, there is 400mm of seal to left of the road, a 8 foot ditch, then rising to a railway higher then the road. I don't like hanging my arse out in the middle of the road to to turn right into the drive due to obvious risks, however I gauge every situation as it appears to me, and everyone is welcome to choose the ditch if they choose.

Yeah, then sit there with your indicator on confusing everyone. Wankers.

[swbarnett]

Please explain. What is this "traffic" you talk of?

You've got some down your way if you look hard enough. It's that invisible stuff transported on the backs of electrons and EM waves that makes the interweb work.

[schrodingers cat]

Actually, in more civilized countries with a higher standard of driving, the people in the oncoming lane often slow and flash their lights so as to assist the flow of traffic.
I'm guessing that they understand the advantages of co-operative behaviour (if I do it for them, they'll do it for me sometime)
In fairness it does require that you don't have your head firmly up your arse and can see beyond your own selfish needs.

The OP has demonstrated that he is in fact part of the problem. Me, me, me and 'fuck you jack'

Fucking, bad fucking day for your fucking ride was it ? Fuck that..

Whether they are indicating or not, they should be treated in the same manner - as a hazard to be negotiated.

At least by indicating, they are giving you useful information about their intentions.

This is fine in heavy, slow moving traffic. On the open road when the traffic is flowing at 100k (or more) this is simply not practical and will more than likely add to the danger, not reduce it.

This is why, when I pull left before turning right I keep my left indicator on until the traffic has passed and I'm ready to move right.

[FJRider]

"If there are other vehicles moving fast or following too closely, or if the road is narrow, it may be best to wait on the left-hand side of the road to make the turn, rather than stopping in the middle of the road and holding up traffic." Which is a fair call, but tbh, I'd slow down more if there was a car on the left indicating right, that I would to just pass them on the left.

Also from the Road code ...

Making a right turn on a road with a centre line

In this situation:

slow down before you turn
check your mirrors and look over your right shoulder to check your blind spot
signal for at least three seconds
move towards to the centre line
turn when safe to a similar position in the road.

One would assume ... If ... in this case there was NOT enough room for vehicles to pass the offending vehicle on its LEFT ... there would be no room to park on the left of the road BEFORE turning right.

Unless of course ... the following vehicles didn't want to move off the tar seal to pass the turning vehicle.
