dillm Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) I was waiting to pull out onto the main road and it seemed that an oncoming car had flashed me to pull out luckily I waited to see if he was actually letting me out which he was not as the car kept on coming Once again it seems that going over the bumps in the road had given the impression of flashing head lights Has anyone been caught out by this phenomenon Edited January 19, 2017 by dillm edited to make sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The positioning of some of them is terrible. - Not necessarily lights, but one good example of crap bumps is at the end of Buchanan Road (turning right onto Wordsworth) - the bumps are right next to the school bus stop, where if someone is coming in the opposite direction, it forces you to move to the left of the road to 'straddle' the bumps, moving you right in front of the bus stop. Morons create this type of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geared Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I've had it a few times, I'm very wary of people appearing to flash you to let you out of a junction though so I wait to see the car slow down first, as you say you can easily be mistaken and cause an accident.

monkey104 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 My first thought when someone flashes their headlights at me is "Flash for cash". Where a driver with right of way flashes his headlights, you believe he is letting you out then runs in to you claiming injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marx Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Yes but on side roads where it wasn't a major issue, so I know to look out for it now. My gripe is people parked facing oncoming traffic with their lights on, blinding the drivers passing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
