Davo 1 Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Fining people for not using indicators would be a good 'back to basics' here as well. Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Davo, I thought that indicators were options on new cars these days as it seems that no one uses them! Toque, If that was my wife ( been married 5 years) then i would be in jail! damn she's hot though Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Being a bike rider and now closet car driver I get more annoyed with people driving to far to the left. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 When I learned to drive, the Highway Code still had little drawings of what to do if for any reason your indicators didn't work. You had to extend your right arm out of the driver's side window for turning right, or wave your left arm around inside the car for turning left. People driving behind you were supposed to pay careful attention to what you were doing inside your car. You can usually tell by the suddenly erratic behaviour of drivers in front of you that they have just received a call and have started to answer the question "ima nani shiteru no?" My special hatred is reserved for those faqkers who drive the big Highway Star sort of family van and weave over the centreline towards you as they grin obliviously and jabber into their mobile phone.

jared 0 Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 When I first heard that there would be fines I was planning to stop answering the phone when driving - then I seen how insignificant the fines were. I probibly wont get caught and if I do it's no big deal. If the fine was 50,000 yen however, I might have reason to perform a Japanese parking manover before talking. i.e just stop where I am with the 4 way flashers on. Link to post Share on other sites

indosnm 0 Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 But are they going to enforce this like they have drink driving? Hey they will no doubt have the lights on giving most a warning so you will have plenty of time to drop your phone. ( then erase your received or outgoing calls!) let us enjoy talking by november!

grungy-gonads 54 Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 There should be a national NO KEITAI day (or week/month/year/ever). The damn things annoy me more and more I am now proud to not have a keitai. Link to post Share on other sites
snobee 0 Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Did I write this before or just thought I did??? ( Must be the 2nd glass of wine gulped before the evening classes ) A friends wife (also my friend) was waliking merrily along the footpath the other month, only to be swerved into by the young guy riding his bike while texting and listening to headphones. Damage? Broken arm and sundry abrasions. Resultant action. She, being a polite Japanese woman, said I'm OK (NOT) and he, relieved went hurriedly off. She limped home in great pain etc, etc..... Moral - phuk 'em good before they phuk you. Link to post Share on other sites
