Fossils 573 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 There is a clue in "driving along the Gansey". Assuming that Zephyr's description is accurate, then the overtaking action took place, illegally and dangerously, inside a 30mph limit. I have issues with some of the speed limits sprinkled around the Island but this one is definitely necessary. I suspect that the drivers involved in a recent RTA outside The Shore Hotel will agree with me. The whole of the road from that 30 zone to the hill up into Castletown is usually referred to as "Gansey". Oh no it's not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Regardless, not a lot of point speculating until OP clarifies. EDIT: Though I am curious as to what you would refer to that Bay as.

I'm sorry that this is becoming increasingly pedantic, but............ Although commonly referred to as Gansey Beach/Bay, the area within/adjoining the 30mph zone is not recognised as such on the OS map. Gansey Point is the only Gansey marked on the map. Bay ny Carrickey or Carrick Bay is the commonly used term for the whole wider bay stretching approximately from Port St Mary to Scarlett. The road from the Shore Hotel to Fishers Hill is often referred to as Shore Road, Rushen. However, I accept that the stretch of road where Zephyr was overtaken may have been the stretch by Strandhall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deano_iom 7 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Hey there I am aid driver of the Honda civic Type R. Bet i was the last person you thought would be reading this Zephyr!! You first need to get your figures correct, that morning i overtook 4 cars coming towards the bottom of fishers hill (castletown bound in a d-restricted not a 30) Secondly i am a proud owner of an advanced drivers licence!! I would never overtake if there was any risk FULL STOP, i wont even drive fast if i have anyone with me in a vehicle!! As for the needing a wank before work, i have a very beautiful and attractive Mrs for that and my good shes good at it!! Unlike you i don't need to self service myself everyday!! What sort of sick pathetic fuck wishes other people to crash head on with another vehicle?? I was truly disgusted by that comment!!! Next point as for the car as i am a highly qualified vehicle technician of nearly 10 years the car is well maintained and looked after and is serviced every 4000miles so about 4 times a year and i use the highest quality parts and oils money can buy. Being a TYPE R it has a high revving engine which is meant to be used like that or what is the point of producing it or anyone owning one. All lights, levels and Tyre pressures checked weekly!! Do you do this?? Well no prob not as you like to get home and moan like the old idiot that you are about people with better things than you, my one bit of advice for you is go get a life you are a DICK!!!!! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Max Power 6,552 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 To be fair, if drivers were to be considerate and leave enough space between cars when crawling around the island there would be no need for anyone to have to do multiple overtakes. In fact nobody would have enough room to do this as they would rapidly run out of road. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
