rofl how the fuck?

[mank!]

What are roads?

 

[throdgrain]

So. Three young girls from my home town are killed tragically on a motorway, and you think thats a subject to roll around the floor laughing at do you Super Gray ?
How they ended up broken down in the hard shoulder will always remain a mystery I dont doubt, and not what you should do in a breakdown at all, but you are supposed to get out of the car, and maybe they kids got a bit confused and fucked up. Now they're dead.
Oh ho fucking ho. for someone who spends days planning to go up the shops matey I would think this is a bit crap coming from you, or indeed anyone else. Hope you sleep well tonight.

 

[Clowneh!]

i thought they broke down in the 'fast' lane

 

[PR.]

The simple fact is you NEVER get out of your car if your in the fast lane, theres a much better chance of survival if your are sitting in a stationary car with your belt on and are smashed up the arse by a van at 60mph than you are if your standing in the road staring at it with your coat on.

You stay in the car you ring the police and they will help you get the car over to the hard shoulder, your a danger to traffic and they'd rather spend 10mins slowing traffic to get you clear than spending 3hours clearing you off the road.

If your stuck in the fast lane turn your steering wheel so the car will [if hit] steer in to the inside crash barrier and not into centre lane traffic thats trying already to avoid you and put your hazard lights on. If you really can't stay in the car because of risk of fire or too much damage, I would say stand at the back of the car either between the two centre crash-barriers or the side of your car if there is only one. That way again if someone hits your car it won't smash into you.

That reminds me of another thing - twats who, waiting to turn in the road, sit at the junction with their wheels pointing the way they want to turn. They never think what would happen if they got twatted up the arse, which way they would move....

Motorway driving should be compulsory, I don't care if you live 300 miles away from one, you might also live 300 miles away from a level crossing, but they are still part of the test.

BTW If I was stuck in the fast lane, I'd get out and jump into the central reservation - safer there, than in the car....

Maybe you should try READING the thread instead of jumping down someones throat.

The 3 girls go out of the car in the FAST lane which is a real fucking stupid thing to do in the first place.

The report says it was a MINOR accident with the central reservation, so the first thing you do is get to the hard shoulder and then get out. You don't get out in the lane where at least 50% of vehicles are doing 90+ miles an hour.

I feel for the families of the girls, but it really does make me wonder if we are headed the way of Americans, and having our brains dribble out of our ears at birth...

 

[Wilier]

Hang on a mo. I havnt read the news article (and on reflection, perhaps I should have) but SG's post said that they crashed into the central reservation.

Im not a teenage girl (honest) but if it was me, sat smashed up in the fast lane, I would CHECK the traffic then leg it to the hard shoulder, rather that than being slammed up the asre by a 30tonne HGV doing 56mph.

Dont care what the Highway Code says.

If memory serves, it is illegal for a learner to drive on a motorway, hence you have a problem.

I was lucky when I learnt to drive, as I live near the A2, one of the few 3 lane A roads, hence did motorway driving type stuff, but not on a motorway

There is a further test you can take, after you pass, to learn motorway skills, but it is not very well advertised, passing it can also reduce your insurance I think, useful for those new drivers

I agree TDC, it should be part of the test, much safer to give people some idea of what to expect

 

[Repent Reloaded]

yes, Im going to take a look at my car while im parked in the fast lane.... hmmm

Roll On The Floor Laughing was the phrase used, if you read the thread.
As far as hard shoulder/fast lane goes, my bad, I meant fast lane tbh, typed it wrong. Makes no difference anyway. If you think that 3 young girls being killed on a night out because of a mistake is funny, you really ought to get a personality.

/edit I was a bit extreme there, never mind Ive cheered up now

 

[pcg79]

TBH - Grey use of ROFL was a bit extreme. But then they shouldnt have gotten out the car - they shoudlve called the police!

 

[throdgrain]

If I had broken down in the fast lane I would have got out the car.I cant really imagine how anyone could break down in the fast lane, I would have thought they would have coasted to the hard shoulder. Even going slowly at like 60 mph ot something you'd have plenty of time to do that I would have thought. Or maybe they did crash into the barrier, as someone said. Either way, you're not going to sit in the car waiting for someone to hit you up the arse at 90 mph I wouldnt have thought. But whatever .
My point was, rofl someones just flown a plane into the wtc and killed 3000 people. Lmao a slag heap just collapsed in wales onto a school and killed the children of a whole village. Rofl three young girls made a mistake on a motorway and now they're dead. Now they familys are organising funerals. Ha fucking ha.

 

[nath]

When you put it like that, it is kinda funny. Guffaw!

 

[throdgrain]

I am Mr Serious today I find ...

[throdgrain]

/me is recovered !

 

[*Exor*]

Anyone that needs motorway lessons is a complete spastic.

 

[nath]

How many times is it that you've crashed now?

 

[*Exor*]

Once that was my fault. It was at about 15mph, and no-where near a motorway. Good try nath.

 

[nath]

I wasn't talking about motorways. Just thought it was amusing that someone with your crash history acting superior about driving skills.

Only joshing ya though mate!

 

[xane]

He's only crashed once, but he's _seen_ hundreds in his rear view mirror

 

[Deadmanwalking]

Cant wait till you crash properly or someone u know ... then say they are retards.

That good enough for you?

I'm still recovering from your moral high ground when you said the word "spastic" was reserved for 12 year old children.

This made me relapse.

I've never once said that. I think you need to do a search and re-read some threads.

I didnt say you're a retard if you have an accident, I said you're a retard if you need motorway lessons.

Accidents happen at any time to any person, whether you're a good driver or not.

 

[~YuckFou~]

There is no fast lane on motorways ffs.
There are three lanes, two of which are for overtaking. It's people thinking that the lanes are for different speeds that fuck other drivers off for lane hogging.
Sermon over, thx.

 

[nath]

Oh please. Everyone knows that but that's not how it works.

At the end of the day, it *is* the fast lane, despite what the highway code might say.

Then you are a cunt driver, I will now shoot you

 

[nath]

Actually I rarely drive in the fast lane. When I do it's to overtake people. I'm just a realist tbh.

 

[mank!]

I'm not learning to drive with fuckers like you lot on the road. Ever.
