Some are set to turn to red and stop you if you are exceeding the speed limit when you approach them. There is some on the A75 as you approach the 30 mph villages.

I know it’s too late now but if you can feel the scratch with your fingernail then it won’t polish out.

As Alanis Morrisette told us “It’s the good advice when you’re already late”

I can’t feel the scratch but to be honest I’m less bothered about the scratch than the bollocks I made during my effort to conceal it. And I’ve already had that advice from the two people who’ve quoted me a price.

But as Alanis Morrisette would say “you live, you learn”

20 years as a taxi driver so im sure you'll know that I've already learned how to zen out with many things to do with driving and dealing with people.. either these traffic lights are faulty or they couldn't give a shite when they install them..

The latter one probably being the case.
 
You arrive at a T junction and you are going to turn right. There is a car coming from your left, it is indicating to turn right into the bit you are on. You think about pulling out but decide to be a good driver and stay where you are to allow them to make their right turn.

They slowly arrive at the junction and then, at the last moment, flash you out.

Why not do it from way back if that is your intention!

(And yes I am fully aware of the Highway codes rules on flashing your headlights)

America is full of four-way stops at intersections (crossroads). The rule is first car to arrive is first to pull out. You always get some spenk - often a very attractive female who coincidentally has the same surname as me - who thinks it’s polite to let the other cars go ahead even if she arrived there first, thus buggering up the whole shooting match for the next several seconds and nearly causing an accident as the whole pecking order as to whose turn it is has been turned in its arse.

Going to Helsinki in a couple of weeks, girding my loins for a mad week. One of our friends has a boat. We are going on. Not to sail round the archipelago, to sit, in port and drink beer. (Not in our pants tho)

Brilliant. They do a fish festival in August where there is an open market on the Quay in Helsinki serving street food. Not sure if it’s on at other times, but recommend it if so.
