Re: Oncoming car, wrong side of road
I had a "circumstance" last year. I was pootling along merrily when a car shot out from a side road without any attempt to slow or stop. I instinctly braked and steered left but as the other car didn't slow down I ended up hitting him. If I had steered right to go behind him all would have...

Re: Use of Indicator for Overtaking
I know that junction and that overtake was little short of barking mad, whether not indicating ...

Re: Use of Indicator for Overtaking
If you change lanes and close up and for some reason abort, it's an aborted overtake. But rather like sailors and lee shores, don't get into that situation if at all possible.

Re: Use of Indicator for Overtaking
This is a fascinating thread, but the ultimate answer is "it all depends". I am not sure of the benefit that signalling gives from the POV of the overtakee, because I would suggest that some 50% of drivers haven't a clue as to what is behind them, and the first they know is when a car, mot...

Re: Drive outs 2024
Don't worry Bill, with so much 20 mph around, the Dayout Routes will be very short

Re: 20mph alternatives
That's the demographic process. Or something. Next time we have a Driving Day in this area we are going to need shorter routes ....

IAM a Magazine

Re: 20mph alternatives
As the 20 mph is infecting most of South Oxon, there seems to be an increase in the number of impatient drivers who will tailgate through the 20mph section and then blast past as it ends, frequently in a reckless manner. Is it just age catching up with me, or is this something that EV drivers are up...

Re: Drive outs 2024
One of the quite popular ones has been based on The Carpenters Arms just round the corner from Tot Hill services on the A34. If I read your posts correctly I suspect you are based somewhere near Wallingford, so that would be a good one for you if it comes to pass.
