HeliX 2,289 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Yeah dude been a full member of the IAM for nearly 3 years that's great that deano.......so when was it that they taught you that if it's "more dangerous to slam by brakes on" (you're certainly not an advanced speller) then it's ok to carry on regardless !! surely the proper actions of an advanced motorist like yourself should have been to slow down gradually and then pull in and point out to the road workers that there was no early warning signs and that the lights weren't on/flashing. surely that would've have been the right thing for an advanced driver to do ?.....................I await your next excuse Dude !! Typos != bad spelling. And uh, if it's more dangerous to slam your brakes on than to continue at your current speed, of course you continue at your current speed. Honestly you seem like someone who's just trying to wind people up but has no real reasoning for your comments. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jacobaman 15 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) Also guys i went past the guys at about 50mph and had slowed down a fair amount but would of been impossable to slow to 20mph in the space of time, i have a loud car which makes it apear faster than it is by the sound it maked. Also at no point have i said i dive at my limits on the roads its not something i would do hence why i am a regular up at duke trackdays i save driving like a loon for the track not the road there's the excuse and not a very good one..........."went past at about 50mph and had slowed down a fair amount"........so you entered the road works at over 50 and drove through them at 50..........that's very advanced deano. and couldn't be bothered to stop and make the situation safer for all the other drivers. at least you were "diving" within your limits though perhaps that's the problem deano, check your certificate again......you're an advanced diver and not a driver.

Which makes sense. Not sure why you're assuming it means he slowed to 50 then thought "Fuck it, that'll do" and carried on at 50. at least you were "diving" within your limits thoughperhaps that's the problem deano, check your certificate again......you're an advanced diver and not a driver. When half your argument has to revolve around typos, your argument is probably pissweak. Just something to bear in mind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have you been certified as an advanced driver? just to add to your first comment........my brother is a road worker and whilst he might spend an fair amount of time leaning on his shovel he does have quite a few close shaves with loonatic drivers on a weekly, sometimes daily basis. Deano is obviously one of them and seems totally oblivious to his actions. He likes to harp on about his advanced diving skills but certainly doesn't demonstrate them. that hopefully explains the bee in my bonnet.

John Wright 8,319 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 driving past a line of 4 or 6 cars is not safe, cannot be. You cannot tell what may happen on the nearside, even if you can see ahead. Of course the cars should be far enough apart to allow overtaking one at a time and that is what you should do. My experience over 30 years in courts has been that AIM qualified drivers are worse and proportionately more likley to end up committing a moving traffic offence than the population at large because they believe they are better drivers and they have a god driven right to drive in a fashion which is "agressive". That type of driving and in this case overtaking and belief can, and will end up in conviction and disqualification, sooner rather than later, even if there is no accident or injury. What is wrong with slow? Why do you feel the need to get ahead of everyone else? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Deano is obviously one of them and seems totally oblivious to his actions. He likes to harp on about his advanced diving skills but certainly doesn't demonstrate them. that hopefully explains the bee in my bonnet. Oblivious? I suppose that's why he slowed down and was able to give a full justification for why he hadn't slowed down previously (the sign not being out). driving past a line of 4 or 6 cars is not safe, cannot be. You cannot tell what may happen on the nearside, even if you can see ahead. Of course the cars should be far enough apart to allow overtaking one at a time and that is what you should do. It worries me that you hold this belief and (presumably) have an opinion in court. There are numerous places on the island where you can pass 6 cars safely, especially if they are travelling slowly and you have a car with some decent punt. Also guys i went past the guys at about 50mph and had slowed down a fair amount but would of been impossable to slow to 20mph in the space of time, i have a loud car which makes it apear faster than it is by the sound it maked.

Priceless. And no, the only thing I have a "love" for in the context of this conversation, is "innocent until proven guilty." Rather than the "innocent until alleged guilty by some bloke walking his dog" that you appear to use. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Deano is obviously one of them and seems totally oblivious to his actions. He likes to harp on about his advanced diving skills but certainly doesn't demonstrate them. that hopefully explains the bee in my bonnet. In that case I can understand you being defensive, however I have drove past these people doing the road works/digging the last couple of days in various locations, each time there hasn't been any sign or any sort of warning, infact until you have to get close enough to the van to establish whether they're actually working in the road or whether its just some cones/barriers left there from a previous job or a current one their going to continue later. A triangle also means 'advised' speed limit, like the one on windy corner, it is not a 20mph limit by law (round speed limit sign), although anyone knowingly driving fast through road works should be punished, after all 30mph is enough to kill. These people aren't DOI either, but a private firm, quite what they're doing I don't know, but it looked like cables or drainage to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jacobaman 15 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 HeliX feel free to correct me but if i'm understanding correctly, Deano has admitted his guilt (albeit only after I'd made the link between his actual number plate and that which the dog walker spotted). I would just be nice if the half-wit would take something away from these two reported incidents.........learn to drive more considerately before the unthinkable happens. It seems to me (and yes I'm assuming again) that the only reason he's looking for a more powerful car is to go even quicker and he thinks that having an Advanced Certificate is justification for doing so.
