theeone Member 349 Member For: 21y 8m 15d Location: Hoddles Creek (VIC) Posted 14/10/04 08:27 AM Share Posted 14/10/04 08:27 AM Is it just me or have people forgotten how to use their indicators, roundabouts, overtaking lanes, merging. I hope I'm not turning into a old fart but, once I learned how to drive, using indicators was like second nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only is it annoying, its just poor courtesy. My big peeve is when people dont use them whem merging, just a bit of common decency really, but should you expect it in this day and age of rice and stupidity...noNext post in English please harvest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After just a couple of sessions I am cured. This is what I do. Firstly, drive along in two lanes. This way can claim ownership of both and don't need to indicate which one you wish to use at any particular moment. Also, by weaving left and right ever so slightly it keeps the bogans behind at a safe distance! Secondly, when approaching roundabouts I turn on the hazard lights - let them figure out which way I'm going. Makes 'em stop and give way to me every time!Of course all the above works quite well for me while I'm in the bus - might be different if I was driving my car ...

lowriding Member 26 Member For: 21y 4m 12d Posted 14/10/04 11:58 AM Share Posted 14/10/04 11:58 AM Agreed all round - sure way to p$ss me off!! Worst cases - 1 / at roundabouts , I once almost got cleaned up by a guy turning right but just going around with no indicator and had the hide to blow his horn at me - bloody 4WD owners. 2 /peak hour busy two lane road , stop second behind a car in right lane at lights , as not indicating , presume going straight through like yourself. Only when lights go green very slowly creeps forward and puts on indicator - you get stuck in right lane behind the inconsiderate w@#ker ! aarrrggghh. As velvet glove says above -it justs a decent thing to do . Obviously lacking in this day and age.Fair dinkum . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of them turn their right indicator on when they are travelling straight ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
