Localboy, for sitting in the outside lane at 70mph and refuing to ove over because
"you shouldn't be going any faster anyway"
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 13:38, 2 replies, latest was 12 years ago)

What if he was overtaking somone?

(Bazongaloid, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 13:40, Reply)

not if he pulls out in front of someone going faster
The IAM could evoke his membership if he strays to far from 70.
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 13:42, Reply)

What if he pulled out into a clear lane,
but because you are doing 90mph you quickly came up behind him and then tailgated him while he completed the overtaking manuever?
(Bazongaloid, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 13:44, Reply)

his fault, he should have seen me coming

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 13:45, Reply)

You are an arrogant Audi driver AICMFP

(localboy purveyor of pisspoor puns, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 13:49, Reply)

nope
jut don't like weedy pricks getting in the way.

stick to the inside lane if you're scared
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 13:50, Reply)

In the way of you exceeding the speed limit by nearly 20% and in a dangerous manner?
Clearly your car is a substitute for your inadequate penis.
(localboy purveyor of pisspoor puns, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 13:51, Reply)

Would have been dangeous back when the limit was set, but with modern brakes it's really not that bad at all

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 13:52, Reply)

Yes it is.
Modern brakes haven't changed the laws of physics.

Or the stupidity of drivers
It should be perfectly safe to drive at 100+MPH on the motorway, in practice it's pretty bloody far from it, due to the failure of drivers to think about anyone but themselves.
(localboy purveyor of pisspoor puns, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 13:56, Reply)

And we come back to my point about drivers pulling out into the way of faster moving traffic

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 13:58, Reply)

Correct, but you won't cure that by trying to be an even bigger dick than them.

(localboy purveyor of pisspoor puns, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 14:03, Reply)

but I can try

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 14:04, Reply)

there's no point being rational here.
we've already decided it's your fault.

Although, I don't understand why we can't have an elevated motorway speed limit in good conditions, with a reduced one in rain/poor visibility. Even the fucking French can manage that, and they're basically a baguette and some soft cheese away from being the third world.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 14:06, Reply)

Who actually pays attention to that though?
I'll tell you who mighters, nobody, that's who.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 14:15, Reply)

true.

( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 14:22, Reply)

no, but a 1.5 ton car on brakes from the 1960's would take a much longer time to stop than the same car fitted with modern brakes and tyres, fact.

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 13:57, Reply)

Yes, but a modern car is heavier than a car from the 60s and therfore overall stopping distances are about the same.
FACT.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 13:59, Reply)

bollocks
even my driving instructor said the that the stoping disatnces laid out i the highway code are out of date.
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 14:01, Reply)

Your driving instructer was a fucking nonce.

(Bazongaloid, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 14:15, Reply)

Indeed
but the thinking distance is still the same, and if you're tailgating in the outside lane less than a second (preferably two) behind the car in front you'll hit it before you get chance to use your undoubtedly wonderful modern brakes and tyres.
(localboy purveyor of pisspoor puns, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 14:01, Reply)

yeah, but if you weren't in the way, then I wouldn't be tailgating you
therefore it's you fault
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 14:06, Reply)

I usually go around 80-85 on the motorway
and stay out of the outside lane as much as possible as it is full of ignorant cunts, so unlikely.
Many times I've undertaken a queue of such cunts simply by being in the otherwise empty inside lane, without altering speed.

and just like that, i win the argument

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 14:22, Reply)

It's impossible for you to win an argument, by definition
Even if arguing with yourself
(localboy purveyor of pisspoor puns, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 14:25, Reply)

A tricky situation
where some degree of fault would lie with both parties. I'd suggest, for simplicity, we continue to assume it's localboys fault, though.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 13:47, Reply)

I'm going to have to agree with you here.

(Bazongaloid, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 13:51, Reply)

What if you were overtaking someone and were driving at about 80-85mph
but again, someone comes up behind you driving at about 90-100 and then tailgates you until you finish overtaking?
(Bazongaloid, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 13:52, Reply)

Hmmm.
I think, again, we're going to have to consider the possbility that all responsibility for this lies with localboy.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 13:53, Reply)

I was basically leaning that way already.

(Bazongaloid, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 13:54, Reply)

Oh, he's one of those, is he?

( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 13:40, Reply)

I heard he also liked to attend "Psychic Night" at his local Toby Carvery

(Bazongaloid, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 13:41, Reply)

I heard last weeks was cancelled due to unforseen circumstances.

I've never actually been to a Toby Carvery
or a Harvester.

But I'm guessing they are fucking shit.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 13:44, Reply)

I imagine they are similar to the bastard love child of an Angus Stakehouse and a Bernie Inn

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 13:45, Reply)

I've never been to an Angus Steakhouse or a "Garfunkels".
But I am quite positive that they are also fucking shit.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 13:46, Reply)

I believe I have been to a Harvester in the past.
I think you've guessed correctly.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 13:46, Reply)

there's a toby carvery opening up near where I live.
I'm not sure how I feel about this.

there's already one a bit further away.
I'm not sure how I feel about that either.
