You entered the junction when there was a gap, but some other c**t has nipped into your gap. You have estimated that given the speed and spacing of the cars ahead, you will be able to clear the junction, and by going ahead you will help to keep the traffic flowing - then some ignorant t**t ahead stops for no reason and blocks your exit. Of course, he's alright because HE isn't involved with anything, it's just the trail of problems he leaves behind. The other side of the junction is round a corner, and you CANNOT see if there is enough space until you are committed - mostly affects long vehicles, but not exclusively. I could go on, but a big factor is the drop in driving standards - which is being very effectively accellerated by automated enforcement. People ARE now driving to avoid penalties, not to 'good standards'. But I have to throw in one other - you are driving a slow vehicle, and the lights have been through several cycles before you get across ! OK, so it's rare, but it does apply to some outfits. Oh, you've been to Scarborough have you? Bad luck! Best wishes all, Dave. |
