Ar Soles with Steering Wheels

[Hymermut]

Those who don’t indicate at roundabouts.

Those who indicate wrongly at roundabouts

Those who drive at 30mph in a 60mph limit, and speed up when there is an
opportunity to overtake

Those who don’t think speed limits apply to them

Those who use smartphones whilst driving

Those who drive in the overtaking lanes, when the nearside lane is empty

Those who drive through red traffic lights

Those who don’t watch traffic lights when they turn to green

Those who drive into parking bays, then can’t reverse out

Those who park in disabled parking spaces when they aren’t disabled

Those who think ring roads are race tracks

Those who can’t reverse park into a gap, but drive over the pavement to
get in

Those who jump queues

Those who park on pavements so wheelchairs can’t get past

Those who continuously moan about other drivers……

…. oh…… hang on

Can someone please explain the newish craze for " self driving "
or whatever it's called ? < ! > .. a luxury car TV commercial has
the driver - apparently on a freeway - taking both hands off the
steering wheel .. for no apparent reason
< except to show off the " feature " > I just don't get it at all.
Moving beyond peeves and bad manners, in my part of Canada,
the most serious scourge seems to be rural road behavior -
speeding, distracted driving, ignorance of farm vehicles and
horse & buggy traffic, etc. Flashing lights on the stop signs ;
more use of 4-way stops ; .. nothing seems to help.
As a young buck, we'd tend see these bad accidents on Friday
& Saturday nights or in bad weather but these days it happens
on clear dry Tuesday mornings .. Sheesh.

Over here in Blighty that would be sick raptor. If a policeman spots you
with your hands off the wheel you're in trouble - same if you're holding a
fobile moan. My car has a lane-following function but it also checks that
you're holding the steering wheel at roughly 30-second intervals.

"Flashing lights on the stop signs"
I'm probably being thick, but that Whooshed me.

"more use of 4-way stops" I don't think we have any of them, here in
the UK, so I wouldn't know what to do with one if it bit me.

Back-in-the-day it was a bit of an expense to install flashing
lights at a rural intersection, but these days they use a little
solar panel for power and the modern LEDs don't use much.
Traffic circles are catching-on here, over the last 10 - 15 years
but can't always be used. .. and for certain snowy conditions
they create a tricky job for the big plow-plough trucks.

What they often do in here and in Yourope is make a "mini roundabout" by
painting a white blob in the centre of the intersection and put give way
and roundabout signs up. This gives the same priority rules as a full
size roundabout (Basically, traffic already on the junction has priority
over everyone else, and in practice, this means that traffic approaching
from your right has precedence. In countries where they drive on the
incorrect side, traffic from the left has priority.)

What really confuses British drivers in Senapr, is that some traffic
lights revert to flashing amber at quiet times. This means that
"priorité a droite" or the signs attached to the posts now apply.

It caught me out. I came up to a flashing amber light somewhere in rural
Abeznaql late at night and sat there wondering what was going on until a
car (probably realising I was a stupide Anglais) went past me and
through the lights. I followed suit and managed to work out what was
going on for future reference.

I think it would be a Good Thing if the same were done on traffic
light-controlled roundabouts in Tenaqr Oergntar, to save people being
stuck waiting for minutes for the lights to change.

Not uncommon here back-in-the-day, but it's been many years
since I've seen the after-hours intersection lights.
