wykikitoon 20150 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Why is it people have a problem with sliproads? Its not th joining from the sliproad, its the fags who are on the main road who wont move over to allow the people joining some room!!! Fair enough if you have activity to the outside of you and you cant move, but if its free, like it was for me tonight and some ponce wouldnt move it really boils my piss! FAGS!!

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Agree Wykiki. Careless, thoughtless, selfish tosspots trundling along in a world of their own completely oblivious to whats going on on the road about them. They're up there with middle-lane hogs and my particular favorites, people who can't indicate properly at roundabouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazarus 0 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 er....its only on the continent that you have to give way to sliproad traffic innit ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 20150 Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 Its not the giving way. The driver on the major road in theory (hence you can fail your test on it) is changing the driving style (making them brake) of the driver on the slip road. So he should really (if poss) pull out (ooo errr) and let the driver on the slip raod pull into (ooo err) the major road Also technically these slip roads are called (Joining Major) Acceleration Lane and (Exiting Major) De-acceleration lane.

Rob W 0 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Traffic on the main road has right of way BUT if you can you should let the guys on the slip road in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 20150 Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 Like ive sid in my posts, if free pull over, if not then I am prepared to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W 0 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I try and (roughly) match speeds with the guys on the inside lane as I drive down /up the slip road - that way a little extar or a touch ont eh brakes and you can slide in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 20150 Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 Like ive sid in my posts, if free pull over, if not then I am prepared to wait. 16393[/snapback] It's not always possible to wait and depends on the length of the sliproad - sometimes if they don't let you in, you almost grind to a halt - very dangerous. I get the impression people who don't let you in from sliproads are those who do a steady 40mph regardless of the road they're on and generally pay little attention on the road. Include innuendo as you choose... 16773[/snapback] Hmmm You can wait, just stop before the slip road ends, then pull out when clear enough as to not let the traffic on the major road to slow or change lane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 What about the fuckers who don't indicate properly at roundabouts? Sorry to go on about it but I want to force them off the road and smash their indicators and/or heads in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although you dont have to indicate whilst going straight on (According to highway code) it should be made that you do, it helps everyone tbh.

Not especially safe to join traffic at that speed at about 15mph. The answer is for drivers to have a little more courtesy and pull into the outside lane if they can - I always do. 16785[/snapback] Poor road design then How long are these slip raod about 1m?
