Default The BMS Driving School

No. I don't mean this mob or its dyslexic equivalent ...




I'm referring to the Brake, Manoeuvre Signal School of Motoring.

The one where people signal, but only once they've almost finished the manoeuvre. Why go to the conscious effort of signalling when you're half way round the corner? Truly dim. You might as well not bother ... like most BMW drivers.

And whilst I'm on a rant, I spent the late afternoon in traffic staring into excessively bright LED brake lights at traffic lights. Does everyone just ride the foot brake at lights these days? What happened to the handbrake, you morons ...

Photo from t'interweb to illustrate what I mean ...




And breathe ...

I have been critisized for the correct use of handbrake, but i get bored holding my foot on the brake, and when the chance comes its an opportunity to relax for a few seconds. ANd if in london traffic that can be a bonus. But maybe that's why i rarely get wound up in traffic. Also of course hot spots on discs


And the goon's who drive around with fog lights on

Surprise lane changers on M/way's no indication

god i could go on and on

Not that i am a driving god in any way. got all mixed up on the Redhouse roundabout today in Redbridge cut some one up , whoops , said sorry though and got a nice wave in response in appreciation that i had made a mistake and said sorry.
