Car drivers on roundabouts…now, correct me if I’m wrong…little stick thing on the side of the steering wheel when used correctly tells people which way you are going, right? So why the hell don’t they bloody use it? (I’m speaking from a car driving point of view here as well). It’s bad enough in a car but when they want to play chicken with bikers, it just ain’t funny!
All those in favour of making CBT part of the car driving test raise say “Aye”! [

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, But rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, VODKA in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming…….WOO HOO, WHAT A RIDE!!
Aye! Know exactly what ya mean lol! There everywhere!

Aye flippin’ aye captain. It isn’t until you spend a few hours riding gutter on a ‘ped that you appreciate the biker’s perspective. Should be compulsory (along with an hour on a bicycle).

You could have a point there actually…I’m sad enough to admit I really study the way people behave at roundabouts now (don’t people in universities get paid obscene amounts of money for doing studies such as these?) and it does seem to be the newer cars that are no longer fitted with indicators. What the drivers of these cars should keep in mind though is that I haven’t upgraded to ESP in my car yet and I still need a clue as to which way they are going.
Oh and while we’re on the subject of gripes (yes, I do know I go on a bit)…fog lights when it’s not foggy…what’s that all about?[
!]I normally use my ‘Halfords crystal ball’ to predict which way someone is going. A snip at £7.99
And don’t get Thumper started on them foglights! [V]

Sounds good to me..should we have a recommended products thread then? [
]LOL! I think we should start up a “Survival Techniques – how to avoid cagers making jam out of you on the road” section….[:p]

I think it`s all part of the learning process for bikers,we all know that most car drivers are observant but there does seem to be more and more drivers out there who dont bother with the basic but important aspects of driving.I myself live in Skelmersdale were there are no traffic lights just roundabouts so encounter all soughts of stupid driving,you get used to it I suppose.
Take it easy out there
They are on about banning loud pipes anything louder than a hairdryer is illegal and the police will have the powers to sieze your bike, if you got loud pipes. There are many cagers out there that dont even consider bikes, and they dont see you, if you have slightly loud pipes at least car drivers can hear you, to me this is a safety issue surely!

I know where you mean! Got lost round there a couple of weeks ago cos all the roundabouts and all the roads look the same [
] However, having said that, I would have thought they were good practice for how to use a roundabout properly. My first driving lesson was nothing but driving round roundabouts for the first hour, but I’m glad I did it.There’s a thin person inside me screaming to get out…but I can usually shut the bitch up with chocolate!
