michael_bolton Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Speaking of the highest order. Families rule; single folks are the lowest of the low. Aye, I'll just head outside with our takeout and get the kids chowing down on their chicken nuggets from the window sill so that a boy three ahead of me in the queue can suckle into his McDonald's garden salad and passion fruit smoothie in the warm glow of broilers. It makes sense, and it's ******* fantastic parenting. McDonald's wasn't really in my mind as that's a place I'd expect to find kids. I avoid going there. I'm talking about places where groups of adults go. It's extremely inconsiderate behaviour. Still, since you mention it, parents are one of the biggest problem with life in general. Almost every day I have some kind of family-related seethe. From a family who insist on walking through a busy place 6-across, to a family who let their kids get in people's way and then smile "aren't they so cute!", to moron parents who decide that the entire family of 4 or 5 need to go to the supermarket together (why?) and take up loads of space. If kids weren't allowed out the house, the world would be a much better place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If kids weren't allowed out the house, the world would be a much better place. I hear you. I was using McDonalds to fight my own particular beef with inconsiderate folks whether they be alone or in groups. And as with Chuck, I also agree about the 'wide load' nonsense -does my head in. Whole family at the supermarket, just can't be avoided sometimes. However, the other day I asked my son if he wanted to go to Asda and he said 'no'. Same answer from my daughter. Result, in a way They've worked out that they generally can't be kids with me around as I'm continually at them because i live my life according to Kickback's Life Instruction Manual. Makes me sad for the kids sometimes. My mantra for today: 'Think of the Children. Edited November 21, 2014 by ArcticJambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It maybe helps that I live a few miles beyond the erse end of nowhere. The thing is, there's always a chance that you've missed something despite checking your mirrors etc (admittedly less of an issue if you live somewhere pretty remote). Indicating whenever making a turn is a good habit to get into and people should indicate regardless of where they are. I just do not get how people can approach a junction in a city and fail to indicate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the point I'm making is that there's always a chance you might not see a pedestrian, cyclist, car etc. It should be something that's completely automatic and you do without thinking.

Creepy Lurker Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Cyclists, typically students, who wear black, and don't have any lights on in the dark. I counter my seethe with the horn. Not used as a rebuke, just to let them know I'm there, of course. 'Damn cyclists...' BEEP BEEEEEP! *sound of screeching brakes followed by window being rolled down* 'Excuse me sir, what do you do for a living?' 'Er...I'm a student.'

It takes next to no effort to do as well. When I was learning, I concentrated on always indicating and it is so ingrained that now I always do. Spoke to a mate who is an advanced driving instructor about how annoying it is when other people do not indicate. His response was: "you should never rely on someone doing what they are indicating to do". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King prawn Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Where is this wonderful enormous cycle path situated? I like the sound of it. Norwich unfortunately. You fellas are lucky you still live in Edinburgh where there are hills which act as a prevention to said cyclists. Here in Norfolk, where there isn't a hill to be seen, the buggars are all out of their houses in their Lycra first thing. The council thought; "we have an issue, there are too many accidents involving cyclists in the road, let's build them lovely, wide cycle paths all over the city." But no! The ***** persist on ignoring the lovely, wide cycle paths and insist on meandering about in the middle of a busy road! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indicating when there is nobody to indicate to shows you are not aware of your surroundings. I think it's actually a minor in the driving test.

2NaFish Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Indicating when there is nobody to indicate to shows you are not aware of your surroundings. I think it's actually a minor in the driving test. It does not show you're not aware, and it is not a minor. There are times when you are not legally required to indicate if you are sure there is no one there who will benefit (say when parking or pulling away) but it's good practise to do so.

Ragnar Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) I think you always need to indicate when moving off, even if there are no cars/pedestrians around. However, you don't need to indicate when stopping / pulling over if theres no one around. From what I understand anyway.
