Driving like a white van driver...

[Garp]

Okay... I'll confess driving works van has started to turn me into a bit of a white van driver. In the last week I've forced myself on to roundabouts and relied on the bulk of the van to drop the hint to other drivers that continuing to block me isn't a good idea.
Okay, so I have a tiny excuse in that I'd been trapped at the same junction for 10 minutes because none of the other drivers were obeying the very simple rule of not entering a roundabout when you can see your exit is blocked, thus jamming me and a fire marshal in our junction (they were headed from my right across to the next turning on the left) In the end I edged forward and the fire marshal followed my lead, until we'd forced our way through the stream of traffic. Still had some numpty try and hit us though.

I can't really see you as an angry white van man hurling abuse out your window at everyone else. Although I must admit that happens all the time round here, I just block the road till some sod lets me in :)

In London you HAVE to drive like a tit or else you don't get anywhere. Problem is it becomes somewhat multiplied by the WVM drivers.

Fact.

I drive like a right arsehole when I'm in London, but it has to be done. Paris too for that matter, Place d'Italie was hurrendous last night and had I not forced my way through I'd probably still be there now.

If you don't drive like a tit in Paris, then you must be driving like a tit.

My 'aggressive' driving has been commented on by non locals ;) I learnt to drive around Ilford and Barking, it's survival of the fittest there!

I would rival any white van man while towing a loaded trailer....actually, I DO own the road! I conform to every stereotype out there, horsey essex woman in a 4x4, bring it the **** on!!

I have my moments. You dont what to know what I drive like then! :evil:

with a 0-60 time measured in mins..... slowly? Have you still got the towing monster?

[Pebs]

Yes :( It needs the back of the exhaust sorting before I can sell it, and I cant do that until the New Year (it fell off aaaaages ago, just the pipey bit, nothing important according to NMCM) and tyres too I think. Bloody cars!

Pebbles, your driving was fine for me, but then I'd probably count as a local. :)

Actually there is a guy down Navigation Road where you can get cheaper second hand tyres for your motor. Obviously if you were keeping it then you would buy new.... could save you a few quid when selling :)

I think Iknow where you mean, part worns arent they? They'll do, otherwise it's the best part of £300 for cheap ones :(
