Posted: 18:02 - 23 Aug 2013 Post subject: MOT booked for 3pm Tuesday.... (including 1st paint attempt) |
|

....now to work out route:
https://i1355.photobucket.com/albums/q709/MCW999/Route_zps61a44c26.jpg
I can get to the big fat 1. on the map (am paint virgin, be gentle with me) without turning right. If I go the most direct route I will have to turn right at turnings 3. and 4. However, if I go the long way round, I will only have one right turn, on a roundabout at 5.
So. volunteers please, strategically placed along the route to pick me up as I keel over. If you are first-aid trained, so much the better...
Coming back is going to be much harder. Can anyone see a way of getting back to the big fat 1. without turning left right, or will everyone have to hang on at their turnings for the return journey?

I used to work a stone's throw from 1.
I'm confused, you don't want to turn right on the way there, then you don't want to turn left on the way back.
Obvious route is obvious, take the main road, one right turn there, one left turn back, both at the same roundabout. ____________________ Things get better with age; I'm close to being magnificent........

OK, that makes more sense.
IIRC, both the right turns on the way back are traffic light controlled, so if you time it right, you'll have a chance to settle before you make the turn and you won't have any oncoming traffic to deal with.
Also, if I may be so bold, why are you even on the road, if you can't make right turns? ____________________ Things get better with age; I'm close to being magnificent........

Yeah agreed if you can't turn right stay off the roads. Or at least practice in a carpark. ____________________ KAWASAKIIIII |

He put his foot down! And I have to confess to being slightly disappointed that he didn't keel over on the right hand ones.... |

Fair enough, I got scared by left turns after binning it so I went out and turnt left loads, same with drain covers i nearly crashed hitting one so I kept hitting them until the slight slide was normal.
My advice is go to the MOT by doing the opposite of what you intend.. ONLY turn right.**
