If roundabout is wet or skid worthy and I have my King Kong balls on I will drift it, but yeah indicate to the other traffic as per highway code.
I still want people to know where I am going lol. Especially when someone is approaching from the other direction so you can inform them they can go if they wish.
z0mg he r going to crashz0rzzz
lol lol
You thoughtful driver :P
Thanks. I feel the need to paint over the national speed limit signs with '60 MPH not FKN 40!' also.
rofl, when i was learning my instructor was majorly annoying on the dual controlls,
for example he would say, "bring the clutch up"
so i did and it stayed dwn and i was like WTF and he had his foot on it.
and also he was like start breaking now, about a mile from a roundabout and i was like wtf i cant even see one, and then he braked..
this pissed me off sooo much i had the rest of the lessons in my nova and passed in my nova!!
my lessons consisted of me driving like a cock and talking about horses and football.
the duel controls only got used once when coming up to a roundabout and thought if i floor it ill make it, she thought differant
as for learners now they seem to get worse with every month that passes im with l14mnp on that one i just dont tend to distract them and make them nervous lol
but im a good learner!! :(. its annoying that you have go the exact speed limit everywhere, like some roads are so wide and long that it looks like they should be national speed limit! (which is 60mph on single carriageway roads - see im good lol lol) but sometimes on a 30 road, i try and sneak a cheeky 31 in :p 32 if im feeling dangerous. :eek:
I prefer to stay behind them unless I'm in a hurry. Overtaking learners by speeding panics them (as if they're doing 30 in a 30 zone, the last thing they expect is to have someone overtake). I also leave a massive gap and pull up slow at junctions, but thats mainly as I've seen one put it in backwards instead of forwards at a junction...Quote:

They're not, their instructor should be telling them to speed up - going too slow will fail them as well. The number of times I've seen learners crawling along at <50 in a 60, which is a test fail.Quote:

My driving instructor told me that you should never tell anyone to speed up and hence why they don't have an accelerator pedal on their side.Quote:

but thankfully nobody sticks to 45mph i mean your hardly gonna do that speed on a motorway when everyone around you is doin 70mph
Jack Why cant I rep you? Dammit!
I think if learners are going 20 in a 30 then yeah thats annoying but if they are going say 50 in a 60 its not so bad. Its called a speed LIMIT not 'you must go this fast no matter what or else'.
When I was learning I hated going fast along country roads (used to be scared in case there was a cow around the corner or something hahaha) so we had a whole lesson on how to go 60 on a country road lol Was quite fun once I got the hang of it.
