A friend of mine had the best comment when such incidents occurred:-

For ****'s sake, you'd think these are ****ing oranges on that car?  ****in hell, they're not ****ing fruit, so ****in use them.

Apologies for the language, but there is no other way to say it....

Wikigrl I am so with you on the lack of indicator usage by people. Whether on the vehicle or using hand-signals, there'd be far less "accidents" if people used them correctly.

And no, using the indicator while already turning doesn't count.

And no, having no hands free to signal because one hand's on the wheel and the other's propping your cell phone doesn't count either.

Really wish that the powers that be could sensibly crackdown on this.

i am dedicating myself as a power that be...i am seriously going to start kicking people's vehicles!

I am seriously going to start kicking cars that piss me off like this...
I also have a few words for my fellow bike riders...but most of them are cuss words!
[/quote] Tink habowt hit..........

Yah gunna start keekin cars ann trahucks? What will the  "Indicator Police" do? Now instead of chasing offenders, they have to be taken off their duties to chase "911 call in Car Kickers". I mean what a Cop supposed too do? Plus, the Cell Phone Cops are lurking but they see a person kick a car/truck then the 'apples and oranges non indicator guy/gall goes by'....What the hell do you want.?

Next you'll want the SWAT team to come to clean up the accident site that left four Cops lying in the road because someone reported that the culprit did'nt have their indicator on and they have to call George Jackson and Carlton Adams out and bring out of retirement Roseanda Jones to track down Clive Donald who's chasing Alex Forbes who just lost a bet with Johnny Smith on the foorball fight at the 2000 Cup Match..................then yah gunna want to call Larry Dennis to sort out the costs because they have not been submitted by the appropriate Gov. Dept.............................

Rummy says..............Hug a COP and geeve hit UP.........

You sure as hell won't call Gombey House...they are not there.

As for the Motor Car Act 1952....please read all amendments and those of the Road Traffic Act. It's all covered so don't rely on the actual Act. It's all there in Pink and Blue...............

Gotta run.............off to Denver....Obama needs a rum..................................... Wink

Wiki - sorry to derail the thread just a slightly intsy wintsy tiny bit, but the thing that gets my goat and gets me shouting "Oi Dumkopf" is at Collectors Hill and the traffic lights.  I've said it before and i'll say it again, those numb nuts that block the entrances and exits to the shops there and cause huge tail backs as cars going in can't get in and cause a backlog of traffic not being able to get through the lights - well, lets just say it really gets on my wick!

That isn't thread derailing! No worries! I hate that too!

I also hate it when bikes pass on the right...especially at the area - but I got the laugh of my life when some dork passed on the right and wrecked his bike when the side of it smashed up agains the side walk as there was not enough room to go through! Hope he learned his lesson!

"When I type ADV_ANCE it comes up ADtigga..."

Yeah, that's a glitch in the system. It should be ADDtigga.... Wink

I've removed that tigga translation.  You may advance once more.

@Jimmy_Jones - if you have to apologize for the language, I'm sure you can find a way to express it without the f-word expletive.

Thing is, I was spelling it with an E instead of a U, per the Irish way of talking, I guess that's not acceptable so message understood.

Since they got the traffic lights operational at that junction, has there been a marked decrease in traffic collisions? Because sometimes, I still see bikes fly through the intersection, anticipating the green light.

Wikigorl, did you mean "pass on the left"? Was trying to see how a bike could smash into the sidewalk from the right.
