WTF Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 believe me - I've been called a lot worse in my line of work Most people who know me past a couple of emails call me Del. It also helps the national shortage of R's and K's. 'Del boy' on the other hand brings a whole new meaning to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Had a 'pusher' last night, white evo on the mountain, right up my chuff through the double whites. Annoying. But think how more annoying it is for them when you start slowing down , most people learn from me the closer they get the slower I go, they soon learn to back off, failing that they can freely overtake at anytime.

Sure, but despite how I'm received on here, I don't go out of my way to wind people up. I try to just ignore em and carry on as I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Constable Skywalker will put down his laser, pull me from the wreck and call the ambulance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manshimajin Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 People worry far too much about what's going on behind them which often leads to not concentrating on what's going on in front (you know, the direction you're actually travelling). Whoosh of air-brakes, squeal of discs, hooting of airhorns... yes it tends to get my attention to what is going on with that 40 tonnes of momentum bearing down on my boot... Whenever possible I do what you do and slow down but this has also resulted in some very aggressive driver actions - overtaking and cutting in sharp etc..maybe a call to Constable Skywalker in Ramsey is called for. As I unfortunately know cars going off road are lethal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm yet to see constable skywalker, he must either have lots of holidays or just be in different parts of the Island to me at any given time. Oh I do see him monitoring the areas of no speed limits to which I'm yet to work out but I'm sure the sea view is lovely...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempus Fugit Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 it's not restricted to the mountain road, Peel Road tonight by Hills Meadow, I adopt the right lane at 30mph, Mr. Eyequezero takes his little grey buzz-box into the left lane, accelerates to about 50mph and as soon as he's past me moves into the right lane in front of me, then reveals he only has one brake light when he gets to the queue at the Pully Bridge lights.
