fq-craigus Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Here is a thread to rant on about anything and everythingI get really f***ed off with youtube 'stars' that think because they have a camera strapped to their heads that they are 'right' about everything.The amount of moto vloggers that have a cbt and a 125 and roll round the street rambling on with ther daily observation videos moaning about 'cagers' and 'stupid pedestrians' when they are in the wrong. One video has my goat at the moment and i made a sinple comment on it to which i get a smart ass remark back basically saying they are in the right and then their mate steps in defending his bad judgement. It remind me of the people on the road that make an issue from nothing, like they aproach a roundabout and a car pull onto the roundabout ahead but at their current speed there is no problem but instead they speed up just so they can bib their horn wave their arms and shout about how the car pulled out on them. The video in question here the bike turns left into side road where people are already crossing and he revs his bike to move them out the way when they have priority, he has since removed his comment about this but defended the roundabout where he pulled onto it when the car reached him then he raced along the nearside of the car as it was moving from the inside lane to the outside lane to exit the round about, he should have held back, simple, he pit himself in a cars blind spot! Grrr rant done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glorian Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Seriously though he rides and vlogs like a twat, Most vloggers are, some are funny to watch majority think they are the highway code police. What the hell was he doing on that 2 lane roundabout..Ok theres a car going around the roundabout i will rush out and pull level and sit in his blind spot, then proceed to BEEP HIM because he pulls infront of me.. That idiot needs to re-do his CBT and shut the f**k up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grunthorpe Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Well that was just awful, 5 mins of my life I'll never get back...As far as I could tell (only being a new rider) it was just him putting himself into bad situations then using it as an excuse to give abuse...Doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who would give anyone that abuse face to face either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six30 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Mobility scooters... Flying around shopping centres and along pavements with no consideration for any one else and the one that really gets me is when they use em on the road , there was one negotiating a major roundabout near me the other day , he was causing chaos..... And it seems a good majority of people in them are just overweight, I know some people genuinely need em but a good majority of em just need to lay off the cup cakes and bypass the biscuits.

Hoggs Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 *deep breath* people who see you filtering and move closer to the line to deliberately block you, people who change lanes without indicating, people who don't understand roundabouts, people who walk out behind buses without looking, people who see you coming and walk out in front of you anyway, anyone in the middle or outside lane who isn't overtaking something, people who incorrectly use the word "literally", people on scooters who think they get priority over everything because they are narrower, those three wheeled scooters, people who go on the Apprentice, people who work for Foxtons, people who drive smartcars, whistling, people who believe they are morally superior because they don't eat meat and lastly but not leastly people who say could/should/would of.

TC1474 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Think covered my main gripe here viewtopic.php?f=2&t=58699Then of course there are those who like to spout the law but have no legal background or knowledge, (either criminal or civil) those that like to tell everyone hpw to ride despite the fact that they are still on a CBT or just passed their test (although that is not as prevelant on this site), in other words so called experts who are legend in their own mind.

RantMachine Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 The increasingly common illusion that people have a god-given right to not be offended by anything. And subsequently, the people that cave in to their complaining. You don't like it? Don't look at it. Voice your opinion. Have a damn argument if you need to (I know I usually do ). But acting all outraged and starting some big social media shit storm and crying until it gets changed to something that you find more inoffensive? f**k you, I don't want a world that's been wrapped in cotton wool. If you don't like it, you know what? It probably wasn't meant for you, so quit looking at it and let everyone else enjoy it instead of shitting all over it. You have every right to not like something, or to argue about it, or complain about it, or whatever. But nobody and nothing has to change just because you can't deal with it, and you should expect that you won't like everything you ever see because it's called f**king LIFE and people are all different.

Hoggs Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 This!http://m.thestar.co.uk/news/crime/motor ... -1-7553846Laws put in place to generate money not increase safety. Jeremy SHOUT OVER EVERYONE Vine was "discussing" this. There's no way it will get through surely? I thought one of the reasons for the "unofficial but seems to have a bit of truth to it" 10% leeway was due to calibration issues on speed guns / speedos?

Grrr rant done just watch that video what a first class nob! he needs to learn how to ride before berating others for their riding! that roundabout incident was his fault full stop! if watch it the car comes from all the way round the roundabout and is in the correct lane and exiting he is doing it as it should be done! he should never have entered the roundabout full stop!

Mr Fro Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 At least it's in Bedfordshire, rather than a county that any reasonable human being would ever want to visit...Very true. Beds police probably wouldn't have to do that if they weren't wasting a massive amount of cash on their new police station thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggs Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 That's literally everything I should of put I could of and if I could of been arsed I would of Oh the other thing that actually annoys me more than all of my previous rant is people who sit in THE SAME OFFICE and send emails to OTHER PEOPLE IN THE SAME OFFICE asking them ONE SINGLE QUESTION. And then THEN!! after they get a reply they send ANOTHER email that literally just says "Dear X, Thank you." As I am copied in automatically on 90% of the emails I have to trawl through all these to get to the stuff I actually have to deal with.I am aware I may have anger management issues.

Mr Fro Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 There's a bloke like that in my office Hoggs - his nicknames include "the mute" and "I" (as in the I in team) .Sits about 10' from me and we pass each other many times a day yet he will send me an email rather than talking to me plus he cc's people unnecessarily. He does this to pretty much everyone. I just shout the reply to any email he sends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fq-craigus Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 Drivers that bring their trucks in for repair and explain what the problem is. Thing is they have no mechanical knowlege and over egsadurate the problem to the point you havnt a clue what they are on about, and as you question them on it they change their story and it turns out to be like a bulb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will learn when he does the same to a completely absent minded driver and comes off and in his haste shows the police his camera footage and his insurance and stitches himself right up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 he will probably get away with nothing happening! and him riding around thinking he is right all the time! and this is where it all goes wrong! they are oblivious to the highway code and the rules of the road and think they are in the right all the time! I see it day in and day out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
