ManxTaxPayer Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Traffic lights at York Road on red. ETA: Now they're green ETA: Now they're red again. ETA: I give up. Obviously needs a new amber bulb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadabing Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I am very much in favour of the TT and the visitors it brings (quite happy to take there £, € and $). However the way in which some locals and visitors treat the roads, is in a way that is their own personal race track. Heading towards Peel on the A1 on Monday night, heading up to Glen Lough where they have brought down the speed limit. I was overtaken on two separate occasions by UK bikes, going far to fast whilst other road users and I were sticking to the speed limit. They certainly responded to my horn though, slowed right down. Though on a serious note, it doesn't surprise me that we are seeing so many stupid crashes. Oscarmike you have gone silent or hopefully there has been no more RTA’s since your last post. I for one have found your posts informative, and even if the cunning detectives have sussed your source not everyone does Twitter of Face Book I don’t so thanks for re-transmitting the information. Cheers It's worth creating a Twitter, just for using it as a news feed; you don't have to even post anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Raekwon Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Yep, it really was the whole pro-TT brigade. As one. I didn't write whole, but okay my mistake, a few individuals. Happy now? (I'm pro TT btw) Fair enough, apologies for being arsey. I've seen one or two on here who love to jump on the most moronic pro-TT arguments that they can find and then act like it's the view of all of those in the pro-tt camp, whilst ignoring any sensible input from other pro-TT posters. Not you obviously! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We Like The Moon Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 To be honest, stuff the visiting bikers, this thread is useful for residents who want to avoid the annual carnage and accidents. Shit the bed, I agree with you..... For me who has to go a fair way around the course to get home, because of one way mountain, this thread is perfect for me so I am aware whats about on the way home from work (as an hour to get from Onchan to Michael in this traffic has pushed the 6'0clock limit so far this week so advanced planning is required!!! - my hat there is some traffic on the roads). All radio websites, facebook and twitter are on the work internet no go areas, and the Isle of Man today website has news from 3 weeks ago - they are not too hot for keeping up to date..so this "ambulance chasing" thread is ideal for me.

kevster Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Bit of a blockage on the Prom by Tower House at the moment. An ambulance attenting a minor accident has broken down and is blocking the tram tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
