STUPID OLD BAT IN A MASSIV BMW. cow. aims for me as I'm coming up a two lane, two direction road prior to where it becomes one way. litetally comes over my side of the oad to push me out of the way mouthing 'it's one way and pointing at a sign on the road i'm nto on, nor will be goping on, nor have I been on to get where i ****ing am. Then doesn't open the window to let me remonstrate or defend myslrf, THEN FEKCS OFF IN HER MASSIV STUPID CAR dowt he one way. COW. SHOULDNT@ BE ALLOWED TO FEKCING DRIVE OIF SHE CAN'T WORK OUT WHERE A ONE WAY CHANGES INTO A TWO WAY.

I wouldn't let it bother you......oh wait...

google translate didn't work for me this time ...
Random caps, bad spelling including swearwords, generally incoherent - good work sir!
Likewise, Broad St in Leominster is no-entry at one end, but is NOT a one-way street, despite what most people would have you believe.
quality rant, barely readable.

Lose one mark for not having "jmhnxzk,xskjkdxzkjjdxse" in it which is what get typed when you actually thump the keyboard
THEN FEKCS OFF IN HER MASSIV STUPID CAR dowt he one way
Quality illiteracy - 8/10.
Seemed to be trying too hard for me.
You can almost see him foaming at the mouth. Decent quality rant!
i can [i]feel[/i] the anger in this one - top rant!
Stirling work Sir and easily worth 9/10.
YOu could have stood your ground and forced her to stop?
\In ewdinburgh we have a few one way streets with cycle lanes that go the wrong way down them - one near me is not even larked on teh road but just on a small sign. Confuses car drivers.
She still thinks she was in the right you know, hth
That is actually quite a good rant. Not sure what happened but it clearly got to you. Good work.
That Edinburgh example looks pretty stupid really. If they wanted to do that they really have to put a cycle lane in place and extend it all the way through the one-way section. Given it's one-way for cars the road looks wide enough to allow it.
It had to be a Beemer didn't it?
When has Edinburgh EVER had a sensible approach to traffic management?
Did you spot the bit of angled kerb and wheelie bin to divert you out into the cars coming the other way?
calmed down a bit now.
It was here...
I was going up Westbourne Road, having pulled out of Southbourne Road. She was miles away coming down W'bourne Road.
There were some roadworks on the left of W'bourne just in the one way bit, but she came across to have a go at me. I'm certain of it.
Cowbag.
Other one-way thing that annoys me (on bike or in car) is people that move back over to the usual side of the road to come out the end of a L or R turn t-junction, rather that keep L for L turn / R for R turn. Every single day I have to wait for people waiting to cross the traffic, but if they'd moved to a sensible road position, half the queue behind them that does not need to cross the flow, could proceed.
I like this one at a really busy junction in Gateshead:
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&sll=55.974159,-3.169777&sspn=0.014288,0.052314&ie=UTF8&hq=&ll=54.964866,-1.604369&spn=0.00364,0.013078&z=17&layer=c&cbll=54.964723,-1.604829&panoid=i3_jZC3naJh9jOXGyCtHfA&cbp=12,141.53,,0,9.31
No entry for cars, one-way for buses, two-way for bikes, becoming two-way for everything just a little bit up the hill where that side street is.
Nothing quite as safe as pulling onto a busy main road from a partially obscured road that nothing else ever pulls out of!
Thats a good one grahamS do you e3ven get a go on the traffic lights to get out of there or do you have to guess?
GrahamS - that's always pretty busy too!
Has any**** told Pook he needs lessons in road use yet?
Thats a good one grahamS do you e3ven get a go on the traffic lights to get out of there or do you have to guess?
Yeah, you go when the bus opposite does, as long as he isnt aiming at you!
Thats a good one grahamS do you e3ven get a go on the traffic lights to get out of there or do you have to guess?
Not sure, I think you probably have to guess. I've never ridden it! I wouldn't go anywhere near it (there is a perfectly good off-road CTC cyclepath going the same way).
Kings Stables Road/ Lothian Road in Edinburgh is good - (coming towards the camera) two way into one way plus cycleway on pavement, then it just ends on the pavement.

Eyre Place was another good one, though I'd imagine somewhat less sporting now they have painted the cycle lane red.
Good Rant Pook, you do know she's on Mumsnet telling all the other Big Massiv BMW drivers how she taught someone a lesson!! And her spelling is perfect!! 😆
Strangely enough they actually mostly do this sort of thing quite well round here:
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=worcester&sll=55.974159,-3.169777&sspn=0.012896,0.042272&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Worcester,+Hereford+and+Worcester,+United+Kingdom&ll=52.200913,-2.22633&spn=0.003505,0.010568&t=h&z=17&layer=c&cbll=52.201006,-2.226402&panoid=jS-H0ZzqGDuPh5XuD0Vivg&cbp=12,157.41,,0,16.94
is one I occasionally use and it works just fine (it helps that there's not much traffic - the only real reason for the one way bit is to stop it being used as a rat run).
Also a lovely little cut through bike lane here to avoid the roundabout:

What you need is one of these I guess

Well she'll be there again tomorrow morning so set your homemade stingers/paintbombs as little Tarquin will need dropping off at the local public school. Get there early and scewdriver a big fu*k off hole in every panel. For a Northern City Sheffield is knee deep in tw*ts in Range Rover Overfinches(?- Song Bird killers?) and Porche/Bmw oversized trucks and always some fool on the mobile... and breathe
Good Rant Pook, you do know she's on [b]miserable old grand[/b]Mumsnet telling all the other Big Massiv BMW drivers how she taught someone a lesson!! And her spelling is perfect!!
At one end of the scale is a council highways planner introducing expensive, uneccessary, congestion creating, stress inducing "improvements" to our road system at an icredible rate.
At the other is Mrs Cock in her cockmobile who thinks she is always in the right, who'll bully her way through because she knows her vehicle is the biggest.
It's a lost cause!
Go offroad.
I did. On her face.

best rant in ages
DezB - MemberHas any**** told Pook he needs lessons in road use yet?
You're still p!ssed at that comment from over TWO weeks ago aren't you!
Quality rant the trouble is she probably still thinks she's in the right. Hate it when people beep/gesticulate at me and there's no way to remonstrate, giving them 2 fingers just makes it look like you're happy doing something they percieve to be wrong and dont care what they think (when in fact [b]they[/b] are normally wrong)
didn't know roadsigns were pixellated in street view?
why's that?
looks like some automatic program to cut out advertising. There, the standard words 'south', 'centre' are still visible but proper nouns aren't

How can you tell? I'll still be bringing it up in 6 months mate! 👿
ah. or maybe some texts randomly get caught up when it tries to blur the numberplates? very clever all the same, i would have had warehouses full of people doing it in photoshop 😉
If you affect a Rab.C accent then the spelling and grammar is actually bob on.
This is where bottles win out over Camelbaks. "Discard" a full one in her direction in a moment of "I thought I was on the TdF officer", or quite simply you were having a drink as she drove at you so you had to throw it somewhere - yes, you know it hit the windscreen, is she still alive? Yes, Okay, no harm, call it knock for knock then officer?"
