Giant A pillers (esspecially) on cars younger than 25ish years means a lot of actual blind spots even right infront of you. The biggest thing I noticed after driving my Peugeot 205 for 12 years, and getting a Peugeot 308 (I didn't choose it) was the fact that there's so much shit right infront of you which potentially hides hazards unless you physically move around to look around them. Even the central mirror gets in the stupid way.
And I don't see anyone doing that anymore. Lots of people just sit back in their seats for example and don't properly creep out of junctions MAKING SURE it is clear. I don't know if that is a recent thing (relatively) but it's certainly something which pisses me off, and it doesn't help with cars having more and more crap built in to take attention away from the driver and actually driving in full control.
I'm not sure people realise actually how poor cars have got, because most people change their cars every few years and gradually adapt. But you can certainly feel/see it is very counter entuitive if you step up from a much older vehicle. ____________________ CBT: 12/06/10, Theory: 22/09/10, Module 1: 09/11/10, Module 2: 19/01/11

I guess it is the wrong place to get an unbiased point of view. My thoughts are that car licence holders are not told that motorcycle filtering is perfectly legal during their training. So they get a shitty on when it happens. They think the rider is a hoolagan for attempting such a move.
My advice would be to do your CBT and start riding a motorcycle, great fun but you have to spend a lot of time concentrating on which car driver is going to kill you.
Seriously get a motorbike.

I wouldn't let some of you fuckers drive me.
The pics span 15 seconds and run between Shaftsbury Fire station to
just passing Homemaker/Euronics on the A350 southbound.
so about 210 meters in 15 seconds which is roughly 30mph
The only time the white car in front changes relative position is in the last
frame when it's further away from the Op's car
What proof do you fucktards have to suggest he sped up?
looks more like he slowed down.
The biker is obviously in the wrong lane and used poor judgement and or skills to
put things right
Expecting anyone to move out of your way is full retard riding
they might if your lucky, but it's stupid to assume that
you either slow down and drop in behind or drop a gear or two and blast off!
Bellend, sorry bar end mirrors dont help here.
4:46:55 frame 1 Fire station
4:46:58 passing Winchcombe road
4:47:02 passing factory
4:47:03 still passing factory,approaching Lidl's entrance
4:47:03 he's appears on the cars FOS wing
4:47:04 seem to slow a bit when he see's the bollards, why?
4:47:06 still there
4:47:10 still fucking there! TWAT!!!!
This rider is a useless cunt, it's all his fault.
Dont know what bike but a 500-600 should have more than enough power to
outdrag a car doing 30mph
If it was some numpty on a 125 he needs more/better training
can you imagine a bike instructor telling you to do that?
fuckin bikers
