Title: Using your indicators
Post by: Dizzie on 21 February 2004, 16:35
Just wondering if I'm the same as the rest of you. I hardly ever indicate when overtaking unless I'm overtaking about 5 cars in 1 go just to let them know i'm screaming past them so they don't pull out in front of me.

indicators all the time peeps, i used to ride motor bikes (and will again when i get a garage to put my next project into!!), theres nothing worse than getting ready to overtake then a c0ck pull sout with out indicating!!!, had some scarey moments on bikes, but i guess it just carries over into my car driving ;D

I use to have a bike, had a bandit 600 than a gsxr 600, spent more time worryin about what car drivers where gonna do than i did enjoyin it, roads are just too busy for bikes today!
 I came of and under a lorry who made eye contact with me at a round-aout but thought he'd pull out any way!
Saw a bike crash today on the old A1 near sawtry, never again for me thanks!!!!

I admit I do indicate all the time. Its automatic more than anything else. Even if I am passing a parked car and I am the only one on the road at the time.
I've got a better question though:-
HOW MANY OF YOU DRIVE IN THE CENTRE LANE OF A THREE LANE MOTORWAY BECAUSE YOU ARE TOO LAZY TO USE YOUR INDICATORS TO MOVE OVER TO THE LEFT LANE?
If there is one thing that grips my sh1t its drivers that stick to the centre lane and they are driving a car that can just reach 70.

I try to indicate all the time. If I am passing a tractor and I'm doing 70 at the time usually don't bother much as the tractor knows it's going to get passed and by the time i signal one way i would be signalling the other. I find I don't do alot of overtaking unless someone is really driving alot slower than me though. Or I happen to be in a bad mood and I'm out for a rag. Then i signal though. :)


Knite don't do the leathers pic. my mate just dropped his 'blade around mine for a week and i pulled out my leathers for a blast yesterday. wasn't a pretty sight. lol. course my leathers have a bit o' road rash from the previous bike. :)

Indicate just about all the time..Just to make sure that they are working.. :P..Used 2 have a honda 750..Don't do bikes now..2 many near misses and 2 many mates upstairs,if U know wot I mean..
          The thing that really does me head in is the nobs on roundabouts..WHY DON'T THEY INDICATE..ARRGGHH. >:( >:(

I'm biker friendly.
If I see one come up behind me when I'm in traffic I'll move as far over to the left as I can and make a big enough gap in front of me. I usually get a wave of thanks when he pulls in :)

You got to be careful when doing that though Dizzie, I've had car drivers do it to me before, and ended up throwing all the debris in the middle of the road straight into my face!
But, generally it is appreciated.
