TheNugget Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Yawn. So let me see - you state that one set of qualifications is worthless at the same time you appeal to different authority... That's a logical fallacy right there. So convenient you just happened to drive that way doing a D1 test isn't it.... It is convenient, although not that unlikely as it is on the test route. I was doing the independent drive at the time. I passed, thanks for asking. If you want to call me a liar, just do it, no need to intimate it. If you like I can PM you a photo of my pass certificate and the name of the examiner - feel free to ask him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obelix Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I wasn't intimating it. You were the one that decided to bring that up for reasons I cannot fathom... About your selective use of the appeal to authority - an answer? No thought not. Its curious that that you said nothing until you stumbled over me on another thread and then came scampering back here for a spot of rabble rousing...

Ok well, we'll let others decide what you were intimating. It's fairly clear. I didn't selectively appeal to another authority. I found an opportune moment, to discuss something with someone who's opinion I thought may add to the discussion. I'm sorry he doesn't agree with you and that appears to have upset you. I don't know you from Adam, you are not an authority I recognised as qualified just because you say you are. I like to gather opinions from various sources and make my own mind up. He seemed a qualified source to me. It isn't curious that I said nothing, before - I was doing my test (13:50 it was). I wanted to get back home and write a post properly. Actually you didn't enter my thoughts when I wrote it. Not sure why you would think that it would. As I said I don't know you - you are just some woman/man on the internet to me. I thought others may find it interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obelix Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 So you don't have an answer and it's just rabble rousing. Thanks for clarifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNugget Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 So you don't have an answer and it's just rabble rousing. Thanks for clarifying. Asking an expert and then posting his opinion is a curious definition of rabble rousing but ok! It would have been more curious to be in that position with a driving examiner and not ask his opinion. ---------- Post added 24-05-2017 at 17:38 ---------- Also, since when has there been only one authority in a subject? You appear disproportionately upset that someone disagrees with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikeachu Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I've just accepted that I'm right, that there's no cure for stupid, some people aren't for turning regardless of the evidence laid before them and I've moved on. I've also decided to get a dash cam - i think this thread proves their worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spikeachu Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 (edited) Would you believe it? Another roundabout where arrows point straight on in the left lane but the white lines make you go left. Surely not two painting errors within a quarter of a mile of each other? https://goo.gl/maps/eN7bQFNY7sx Oh my giddy aunt. Same roundabout different approach. This roundabout should be a deathtrap. https://goo.gl/maps/Qty6JATUeFD2 Or maybe you can cross white lines if instructed to do so on the approach. Just a thought.

WarPig Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 (edited) Would you believe it? Another roundabout where arrows point straight on in the left lane but the white lines make you go left They are everywhere mate. One I ride every day is Park Sq roundabout from Exchange St. The left and centre lane both marked as M1 https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.3839889,-1.4610229,3a,75y,134.83h,84.56t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1swNcTH2yHvu_7eBAAYHavSw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 But as you proceed onto the roundabout the lane markings direct those that were in the centre lane to go way over to the right, and away from the M1 lanes and into he A61S lane.. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.3838302,-1.4608197,3a,75y,98.22h,78.05t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s71e_cow4Cfsduou5cuzjhw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 It on where I have to take extra care when riding, and give way to cars not knowing where they should be just so they don't drive into me. ---------- Post added 24-05-2017 at 22:27 ---------- So you don't have an answer and it's just rabble rousing. Thanks for clarifying. Oblix, it would seem that a professional driver disagrees with you. Seeing as he is an examiner I will go with his opinion. I must say that your opinion on the matter really did surprise me from the outset, considering your claimed qualifications. I can understand a 'typical' motorist getting it wrong, but not one with the qualifications you claim to have.
