keyboarder Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Since the debate is not about numbers - you probably mean qualify. Mmm, you've got me there, I must admit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyboarder Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 As a driver and a rider I can safely say I don’t think I’ve never seen a motorbike being ridden around with full beam on. I used to drive my bike around on full beam a lot - the dipped part of the bulb was blown and I was just too lazy to change it. This was not as stupid as you obviously think. Down to the fact that I was also too lazy to clean the vehicle. With just the right amount of crud on the H/L lens I'd struck a fine balance between dazzling other road users and being able to see in the dark. This required a highly skilled sense of judgement, but did make for some hairy times on dark country roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cret Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 witnessed a most near miss. did make me chuckle, lol....... Yes, it's so funny to see people nearly have a road traffic accident. Piss funny really - crashes are ace. This was not as stupid as you obviously think. Down to the fact that I was also too lazy to clean the vehicle. With just the right amount of crud on the H/L lens I'd struck a fine balance between dazzling other road users and being able to see in the dark. This required a highly skilled sense of judgement, but did make for some hairy times on dark country roads. Obviously you're tring to take the piss and be 'funny' here. And you are, in the way that it's 'funny' to see a blind child fall over then rub dog shit residue in their eyes. Ho ho ho. Very droll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, for the benefit of the forum thick it made me chuckle within the context of this thread. This was not as stupid as you obviously think.

xbones Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 DOT happy with Groves Road junction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempus Fugit Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I think the solution to the lights at Groves Road junction is for the south-bound traffic to only have a left filter arrow into Groves Road (no red & amber lights as these tend to be misinterpreted by the ahead lane). For the north-bound lanes, have red/amber/green on the right lane (which also serves as a global red), and just an ahead filter green arrow on the left lane to allow ahead traffic when the opposing lane is green. This then becomes more like the standard setup where we all know how it works. Also, extend the white lane marking on the southbound left lane to a point level with the end of the kerb (like a formula1 pit-lane exit line) to prevent southbound traffic cutting across too soon.

Tempus Fugit Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 will somebody PLEASE, PLEASE put a bin bag over the red and amber lights on the south-bound left lane lights to stop this 'dodgems' scenario, saw a near miss or two yesterday, and today I'm sure the south lane set off before it should have again, but less traffic so they were oblivious to what they had done (and maybe rig a webcam on it so we can all watch from the safety of our armchairs ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyboarder Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 (and maybe rig a webcam on it so we can all watch from the safety of our armchairs ) That's a good idea. I don't know why the DOT don't just hold their hands up, admit they've got it hopelessly wrong and put it right. God only knows what non resident drivers visiting make of this junction - it's a total embarrassment for the island. What does it say about the place when we can't even create legal junctions? It's bad enough to many to sanction the annual slaughter of road racing, but to plan and realise junctions like this? The longer it's left as it is, the more humiliating the climbdown will be when it is eventually rectified as it inevitably will have to be.

Khunbaan - I suspect Declan and Amadeus are doing a bit of dodgy diy detective work and implying that you and I are the same person, lol.... 2 plus 2 = 5 if you like.

keyboarder Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 As an aside, if anyone is killed or injured at this junction in spite of all the attention it has publicly attracted surely DOT heads will metaphorically roll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
