Road Twats

[Doovy]

A little project I might be continuing with.

We've all seen twats on the road, anyone else got some good footage of them at their worst!?

Sorry but you missed twat 4 on the pelican crossing, can't have it both ways.

[olionel]

bloody hell.. where do you live ?

Were you on a little bike or something? Doesn't justify it but still... That stuff happens to me more on my pushbike rather than the motorbike to be honest... Twats lol

Yes but you are having a go at other drivers for "Breaking the rules" and then you do the same yourself. Overtaking on the zigzag is a no no and you should know that. No Excuses. Also it looks like twat 2 was flashing his hazzards as an appology. You never done anything wrong?

[Doovy]

I see what you are saying, and I welcome anyone to put up footage of me doing wrong (see my thread yesterday about How To Get Pulled By Police lol).. Of course I do.

However I do see a slight difference when my path is immediately blocked by someone unexpectedly. Especially during my 45 minute journey in sub zero temperatures on icy road conditions.

Expect the unexpected and forward observation, looking at the video you handled it quite well, I just don't get the "it's ok for me but not fro anyone else" attitude

[Doovy]

I understand

thanks

I've had worse, my accident 2 months ago was just laughably stupid of the car driver. It's the time of year.

Me? Just enjoying the debate. Good luck mate!

[Stalk]

Maybe you are right on both points, but the question is, did he pass the car nearest the crossing? I have enough faith in Doovy to accept his answer as the truth. So, did you pass the last car, Doovy?

[The Tot]

Mate, the only problem with that video is that

1) It's kingsbury High Road/Kenton Road!

That is ALL!

I'm not trying to put a stereotype but the majority of people driving in THAT region of norf weezy are inattentive Asian women - the younger ones on their mobiles are the worst! I hate it when I have to bowl over to my mates in Harrow from my aunt's place in colindale because it forces me to use that road! My uncle has the same observation when he drives through that area and avoids it like the plague!

Anyway, you popped over to Hein Gericke Kenton i presume?

Nothing else you an do other than what you did - Loud pipe, can and occasionally the Victory salute.

They pull U-turns without looking or indicating so in my opinion, filter ruthlessly and aggressively in NW london. Forward planning and observation granted but YOU NEED to be aggressive otherwise they will walk over you and cause an accident.

Anyway, whereabouts DO you live because the last few vids of you were pretty much my old endz!?

I was also going to say the same thing there, but twat 2 was easily avoidable, you were miles away, had enough time to see what he was doing, and time to react.

[Doovy]

[c-m]

just encountered one today on my back from the chippy.

Went 10mph all the way around the roundabout with no indicator.

Then is driving in the left lane. A new lane appears on the left to turn left, so i indicate then move over. when i'm along side, he moved almost in to me then decides to indicate left.

A bit off topic Doovy but what you studying at Westminster? We always end up getting totally wrecked at the Junction/Trinity AND I can reliably inform you that there is a nice "massage parlour" next to Interline cab if you know where that is. A whole bunch of my mates are there doing Music Tech. I had the pleasure of getting knocked out for 20 minutes at a gig in Area 51 there back in 2002 (all I remember was mosh pit and falling back and hitting a cast iron supporting pillar!).

In any case, the A406/Kenton road stretch is a bit of a pain and it's not really much fun. Always used that road when I went to college (up on harrow-on-the-hill @ st doms, just further on from those straw-boater wearing Harrow School lads).

On that stretch of road between the Northwick Park Roundabout and Harrow on the hill tube, I saw a guy filtering on a ZX6R who nearly got side swiped by one of these "women drivers" but he predicted it would happen and raised his left boot to about mirror level" Didn't catch what happens afterwards other than a long blast of the horn, which I can only assume meant that he scored a direct hit on her driver's mirror with his boot! It IS pretty ruthless and I have to say that northwick park roundabout isn't the most forgiving intersections because it's blind pretty much all the way around due to the walls for the railway beneath. It's just an accident waiting to happen with guys using the left lane to sweep around to go to Harrow wealdstone and cutting infront of you.

Again, NOT being sterotypical, but you also DEFINITELY need to watch out for the somalian piloted WV sharan/ford galaxy/vauxhall zafira minicab drivers. Again, they NEVER look in their mirrors before they change lane because when you're behind them in the adjacent lane, you can see them just move their wheel and almost into your path.

I'm sure you'll catch them on your travels. I've got my typical commute posted on you facebook page and pretty much captures the sort of characters you encounter - but difference is that I filter like a Douchebag and at relatively high speeds compared to adjacent traffic.

Twat 1 - well, yes, should not have pulled out...but...if you look at the line of sight for the driver pulling out of the junction, it is badly obscured by the road bending round, the bus stop and further down the parked cars. Reasonably understandable that they did that manouver. Most of the time I would have just moved over to the left and gone round the back of them. Might have done what you did if I was in a shit mood. Looking at it cold I can see me doing the same as them.

Twat 2 - Not really a twat, just pulling a U - Turn - and yeah he made a bit of a mistake, but also apologised, so not really a twat.

Twat 3 - The only real true tosspiece, totally his fault for not looking. He was indicating tho - you could have anticipated it better.

I did think the filtering was a bit dodgy on the lights, but I've done worse, and as you say you got out of the way quickly.

It's good that you take the vids, but better if you use them to analyse what happened and why, rather than just branding anyone who even slightly inconveniences you as a twat.

[HD]

Twat 1 wasn't really that bad because he was in teh yellow box waiting to turn left. However he should have just waited so yeah.

But fuck me, twat 3 could have ended up in a major crash. I hate beeping because my horn isn't right by my thumb. I have to look over to where my horn is, then line my thumb up, then look up, then toot.

I hope you gave him the birdie though Well it was probably a she
