Guest Hooli Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 It's easy to find a 40 limit, just look for a main road that should be NSL. Timewaster, Angrydicky, red5 and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardmorris Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Apparently, the limit on the Stourbridge "ring road" is not 40. I'll be watching the post for a couple of weeks, then... The four lane uphill bit just before the bp garage? bad luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaseracer Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 No, the wide bit going past Worcester Street. My own stupid fault for not paying attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beko1987 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I got done twice by different camera vans last week for 35 in a 30. I am now the bumbling idiot that will do 27 in a 30 and if folk don't like it I'll go down even further! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise2cv Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Was it a van? There's not a fixed one there is there? I know there's one just further back, it's a bit close to have one there too...? Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbenn Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 .... for 35 in a 30. Bit harsh! Not that I do it, but I thought you were sort of ok up to about 10% plus 2mph. Hope you get one speed awareness course, at least. beko1987 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Driving vans was always like that, especially round Oswestry where it's roundabout after roundabout. You'd overtake someone doing 45, they'd get behind you at the next roundabout then overtake as you'd be slower accelerating. Then they'd get to 45mph and stay there so you'd overtake and it all started again. That's why I'd speed up and drive in the middle of the road where possible. Today's grump is thinking it couldn't be too bad if I biked it to work. Last three miles I got drenched and the weather is even worse now, fingers crossed it's nicer early afternoon.

Dick Longbridge Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Sorry, non rusty grump. This wonky-jawed wet lettuce cluttering up the itv channel on a too-frequent basis is currently getting on my nerves. How people like this make their millions is beyond me.

captain_70s Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I lost count of how many cunts like that I encountered the last few days (I went from Aberdeen to Newcastle and back). Even worse are the ones who toddle along at 60mph on a 70mph dual carriageway, so I pull out to overtake them, then just as I'm nearly finished overtaking, they go and speed up and sit just off my rear quarter! Twats!My favourite* is the sort who is dawdling along at 60mph, you pass them and then 5 mins later they come bombing past at 90+, another 5 mins pass and you're stuck behind them again! I'm glad my commute is rural roads at 6am in the morning or about 4pm in the afternoon, I manage to avoid the vast majority of traffic. If I had to assault a motorway or A-road at rush hour on a daily basis I'd likely be banged up for ramming somebody with my car and dismembering the driver with a ice scraper in the first week... Also many 40mph zone around here, locals tend to take them at 15mph or 85mph. There is no middle ground. Barry Cade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Honda Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Trigger (or anyone else for that matter) posting political stuff on Autoshite.com Have a word with yourself Trigger. (Either pack Facebook in or keep political stuff where it belongs - over there, with the only exception perhaps being shite motoring related politics) I've just slapped my forehead so hard that it now hurts, why? Because I've just seen this post that been shared on Facebook from some shit Brexit group. It's clearly a photoshop piss take but the number of people replying thinking it's a real news item is staggering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I don't see that as political. I see it as a very valid grump at the gullibility of the great British public. Oh, and the horrendous racism. Louise2cv, trigger, Vin and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Honda Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Regardless of the sentiment expressed by Trigger or the screenshots quoted, it is political. Denying that is being extremely charitable. Besides, if it is a valid grump, then why was it posted originally in the grin section? Tl;Dr : More Ranchos and less Friendface.

red5 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 As far as I'm concerned this covers everything for tyre-kickers and messers. If you don't know where your bonnet release is, your screenwasher reservoir lid, your oil filler cap or dipstick LEAVE IT ALONE STUPID. And whilst we're on the subject - if you ask an experienced, time-served mechanic advice, promptly ignore it and then come bleating to me because the fetid heap of 10 yard (rain) shiny paintwork shit your Dad/Uncle/mate/random moronâ„¢ turns out to be exactly was I said it was - don't expect me to repair it for free. My Range Rover has stickers - some of them painted over which makes them structural now. Like This1993 Range Rover 200Tdi AutoSeemed appropriate for this thread as well....
