So how come i have been cut up twice in one day on the same roundabout ???
LOOK for signs on your approach so you know which lane to be in. Always give way to the right or anything already on the roundabout and please signal in the correct place at the corect time. Improper use of signals makes everyones life difficult. Don't drive round them at speed go at a safe speed so you are aware of who is where on the roundabout, take your time, when you have mirror signalled in the correct place and left the roundabout, then build your speed up safely.
If in doubt don't stick your nose out, wait for a safe gap. its not that hard........is it !!!

motorway driving and the hazards
hi folks < had a nice day out in Alton Towers yesterday and surprisingly very few problems on the roads.
A beautiful sunny day and left at eight. I came across the usual non mirror lookers that just move in an out without looking. Then theres the drivers who forget they do actually have small flashing orange lights to tell other road users when they are about to change lane or direction.So off at J28 and the usual tractor driver, just a little patience required here to pass when theres a safe opportunity.
Two and a quarter hours and all the thrill of the rides and the expensive food "LOL".
Some great rides which , i have to say " left me a little worse for wear".So fed and watered for the return trip. Back down the B roads and safely on to the M1. Hello here we go MR.I CAN'T AFFORD A HANDS FREE KIT appeared at 80 mph , scary and out of my way quickly.Then more of what i experienced on the way down,with a little tiredness thrown in. The beast thing is to stop in a safe place , eg the nearest services. If your still a distance , wind your window down, turn some good music on, stay alert. It pnly takes a second to never see the next servie station. Driving at high speeds takes constant concentration.
Two hours later, home safe, showered and a cold beer. A great time had by all !

driving on sundays
Well a short one for now. Sundays used to be quieter than the rest of the days, you tend to find every day is the same now. You got to d the same things on sundays as the rest of the week. Stay alert plan ahead , look out for the muppets ( idiots that have forgotten how to drive safely) and all the normal things you should always be doing.
Ah well back to the sunshine and a lazy day for a change.

drivers and their attitude !!
One of the biggest problems teaching people how to drive is making sure they develope the right attitude. Always treat other drivers how you expect to be treated even if they don't ! What goes around comes around!
A good attitude is esssential to developing your driving skills and knowledge.Always expecting the unexpected is a good idea, go slower through the smaller gaps, look out for doors opening and pedestrians walking out. Take your time , be polite and patient with other road users. If someone cuts you up don't lower yourself to giving the the old finger it all leads to road rage, gwtting wound up doesn't help anyone,stay safe and drive safely by planning ahead. The warmer weather we are getting also means you got to keep cool in more ways than one.
