    Pretty sure there's very few laws Metro drivers obey.   They certainly don't obey any driving laws.

People who think they can do what they want and them blame someone else and claim

 

Step forward bikulists

 

The fault will always be with the car driver. With that I'm sure some bikulists then think its ok do drive like a cunt because it will be someone else's fault and a claim follows.

 

That's great.

 

If your not sat dribbling your tea all over your wheelchair wheels afterwards.

Kids walking out of any senior school,dawdling across the main road,because that" 2 ton piece of metal could not possibly hurt me"

Yup.

 

See above and substitute them for bikulists.

Metro Taxis who happily left 3 of us shivering outside The Warehouse Project at half 4 in the morning on Saturday. This is despite having prebooked the taxi and calling 5 times after leaving the club, each time being assured it was on its way. 1hr later still no taxi and an expensive ride home in a black cab.

Could've been worse Kent, you could have been a lone female and the driver could've got 'lost' (despite having a satnav) and drove you into the middle of nowhere. Of course all accidental, they usually find their way again when the police and/or friends or a boyfriend are rang on a mobile.

 

I've mentioned this to other folk, it's surprising how often these clumsy drivers have got 'lost' on other occasions. Same scenario, same firm. Must be a duff load of satnavs they block bought together.

Metro taxis are the worst...take the piss

 

No wonder so many people have run ins with them

Proper cunts them

I have some at work.

 

I am a bit of a cunt though, to be fair.

If the insulator on the jack isn't purple then they're fake - even if they've been bought from a high street store. Fact.

Drivers pulling out on me when I'm on my bike.

 

Slowing me down and people stopping me filtering.

 

 

I don't get peeved when driving. I broke my horn a few weeks back through over use .

people stopping me filtering.

 

Is that biker speak for weaving in and out?

So, when a biker is "filtering" is it a case of a driver pulling out without thought or the biker taking dangerous chances aware a driver may well not be able to see him?

Grown men in trackies riding mountain bikes in urban areas whilst holding a can of lager.

 

Straight to the chambers.

Talking of 'filtering', Folds Road out of town and towards Tonge Moor. The two lanes of a dual carriageway become one as soon as you get through the lights, albeit a single lane plenty wide enough for two cars abreast for the next 50 yards or so.

 

Left lane is for left turn and straight on, right lane is straight on although there is a right turn towards scrap yards etc.

 

Often, in rush hour, the queue in the left lane is backed up whereas the queue in the right lane is only about two or three cars.

 

Now the problem:

 

If I opt to go into the right lane, don't fucking glare at me and keep the same speed to ensure I can't smoothly join the single line of traffic. It isn't my fault the highways planners have designed the junction in this way but prevented the rest of the drive from being two lanes wide; after all, Tonge Moor is wide enough.

No it's not but the rest of your post is correct.

 

If everyone played nice then there wouldn't be an issue.

How about a dedicated 'peak flow' lane down the middle?

How about a dedicated 'peak flow' lane down the middle?

 

You need at minimum 10.5m width to get 3 lanes in safely.

tmr under the bridge is just over 9m.

 

Even you did have enough space for a dedicated peak flow lane in the centre.

The cost of the required gantry signage (to indicate if you can use the lane or not) would be astronomical.

How about you just get yourself a bike and just 'filter' in and out of the cars?

See, that's a fact and not wanted.

Couple of rsj's a wagon of concrete a few light bulbs and some bell wire to the lighting cable.

 

Ten grand tops

 

When do I start?

 

;)

Prevent HGV/Buses using middle lane and I reckon 9m would piss it. 10 feet on each of the outer lanes and 8 feet for middle cars-only lane.

 

Do you want the address so you know where to send my consultation fee?
