Bald_Ryan 1 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Glad its not just me who hates being stuck in a crawl of cars/vans doing 40mph, It happens almost daily, I'll make good progress and then get stuck behind one car, which then i'll have a car catch me up, which then turns into three........and so on! Going from Ramsey to Port Erin at 40mph takes forever + I start to get fed up and let my eyes wonder after 2-3 miles of mind numbing 40mph drone! Get a motorcycle.

paswt 3,414 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) hey deano well said... very true on what u say... with being that qualified your not going to risk other peoples lifes for a couple moments of fun... now that's an opinion , but as a motorcyclist ,who has been told on many occasions by car drivers, driving at "sensible speeds","Sorry mate I didn't see you" I would prefer Deano to have his "fun" on the racetrack (with his "IAM sterstificate") Edited March 8, 2012 by paswt Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nitro 20 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 You sound like a shit driver. You make whatever assumptions you like, however one day you're going to upset the wrong person and there can't be many people left for you to offend. I'm not assuming anything. By your own admission you are unable to concentrate on the road ahead after 2-3 miles when stuck in traffic travelling at 40mph. If that isn't shit driving then I don't know what is. In fact, it strikes me as downright dangerous. Listen, I'm bored and tired of you posting shit. You know exactly what I mean but have twisted it in the typical way you do, to read what you want to read. If you'd like to observe my driving feel free to do so, until then your making an assumption and as above now an accusation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nitro 20 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 cant belive someone would do that to be honest, pretty sad state of affairs . hope the police take action under the misuse of telecommunications act I only hope it was someone viewing the forum and not a member (who should of read the t&cs) taunting people is not acceptable.

Pierrot Lunaire 2,276 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Listen, I'm bored and tired of you posting shit. You know exactly what I mean but have twisted it in the typical way you do, to read what you want to read. If you'd like to observe my driving feel free to do so, until then your making an assumption and as above now an accusation. I realise you're not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I'm perfectly willing to give you the benefit of the doubt and allow you the opportunity to show in what way I've twisted your words. Here's your original post in full: Glad its not just me who hates being stuck in a crawl of cars/vans doing 40mph, It happens almost daily, I'll make good progress and then get stuck behind one car, which then i'll have a car catch me up, which then turns into three........and so on! Going from Ramsey to Port Erin at 40mph takes forever + I start to get fed up and let my eyes wonder after 2-3 miles of mind numbing 40mph drone! I'm unable to see how such simple words can be taken in any more than one way, but go on. I'm all ears. How have I typically misunderstood your post? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think that if people graduated from walking to a pushbike,motorbike, 'outfit' before driving a car they would appreciate the problems of other road users. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Your name is Nirto, it conjures the idea that you are a petrol head, a dentist or a teenage raver on the NO2 - I think you are a petrol head, you're always banging on about cars and speed and stuff like that. Why can't you people see PL is a great poster? It is not shit, it's ace, this forum would be full of boring, unintelligent, nothingness if it weren't for PL and a few other literate posters.
