British driving standard?
« on: 03 December 2010, 18:51:59 »
Now my son earlier was doing a video of how bad the big beemer is in the snow, but we got a little bit of that, but we also got how bad some people in Britain drive in even these conditions. Now as you can see in the video bloke in a Polo pulled straight out in front of me on the mini roundabout, now you're telling me I couldn't be seen? Oh excuse the language  :)

When he's already waiting as there are cars going by him, I go, he couldn't go forwards because as you see later in the video he was waiting for a bus and 2 cars to go by him, in fact let me tell a lie and say the bus was by the rear of his car, first car was at the side of his car and the 2nd car was just across his front bumper, he was also just inside the junction letting the cars and bus go, including the car behind me, that's why I carried on, I was commited, at that moment in time he wasn't.. Of course as I drive a BMW i'll be lying and trying to get out of this, because as I drive a BMW I'm a prick  :)

Oh and no, it's not a school day as far as driving is concerned, I know how to drive perfectly well thanks  :y

Not a fight at all mate, you couldn't see the cars up the road in the video, so you were perfectly within your rights to say something. I just said what actually happened  :)
