Bad driving in calvo

[P-Artist]

:(Couple of days ago i was in the square, crossing over from outside the chippy to the post office.As i was doing so a car came round the corner from collyer road onto crookdole with NO INDICATORS ON and then proceeded to turn into the car park on crookdole, again with NO INDICATORS ON.Big deal i hear you say that's commonplace nowadays,and i would say yes it is, except for the fact the driver of the vehicle WAS IN A DRIVING INSTRUCTORS CAR.SAFE START DRIVING SCHOOL IF YOU PLEASE.I stopped the driver when he got out of the car to explain himself and he said QUOTE:The indicators cancel themselves.I said you have to have put them on first.He looked as though he was going to thump me but i think he thought better of it,knowing i was right.I told him he was a disgrace and should not be learning anyone to drive when clearly he does not know how to drive himself.With driving instructors like him no wonder no-one uses indicators anymore.

strange thing indicators, its not law to use them, ( to be used to show other motorist what your intentions are) although they are in the highway code, and on the mot test, no driver has ever been convicted for not using indicators.

Well it's about time they was done for non-use.I mean how idle do you have to be, to not use them,or is it the classic modern day attitude- f*ck everyone else,i'm alright Jack.

Tim,

They are introducing daytime running lights later this year, compulsory on all new cars so I guess that's going to be the case. I expct you've seen all the newer cars with those LED front strip lights.. they will soon be on all cars. They are also trying to ban the new HID lights that lots of cars have, those very bright lights that often look blue from a certain angle, they say they dazzle other road users. I agree with you, displaying lights should be compulsory during winter time.

Another thing that seems to be happening increasingly here is that drivers and/or their passengers feel the need to drive around with their arms waving about out the window. Our road rules (probably yours do to) state that if the indicator lights aren't functioning then the driver should indicate with hand signals. With these dipsticks driving around with no blinkers and arms pointing in all directions it's very hard to work out just what their intentions are and if they are indeed, signalling their intentions.
