Traffic lights

[Shelly]

What would you do in this situation...........

At the end of my road we're got 4 way traffic lights ........
Never normally a problem
But today when I approached them their was a car in front of me
So I sat behind it as the light was on red
We both had our indicator on to go right
When the light turned green the car in front still sat doing nothing
After a few mins I beeped my horn ........
Still nothing , then the light went red again
This happened yet again the next time it went green so I beep again , the driver was doing something in his car on his phone I think
I darent pull out in case he then pulled out as well ......
Yippee he did go the next time it went green

Thats an interesting situation.What would you do if on approaching a set of lights you hear and see a speeding ambulance coming up behind you. On moving out of the way to make room for it to pass you move past the lights which by this time have turned to Red and you go over and stop a foot further on. A week later you receive a summons for going over a red light.

This is what has happened to my Daughter.

 

[Shelly]

That's not good @Acousticplayer
Did your daughter get a fine
I'd sent a letter away to explain what happened

That's what I thought at first .......
Perhaps I'd missed a siren going
Or something was happening what I couldn't see
But no ........
The person sat in front of me at a green light for no reason

ever heard the phrase "Normal for Norfolk?"

No never heard that saying @smiffy
But I'll remember it now

I didn't have a banana with me Mark
But I'll keep one in my Z just in case it happens again

Kept my hand on the horn, and if that did not shift him, approach him politely and ask him to move his damn A***

That's unlike you Jim.

I thought you would punch them on the nose!

A bit of relative loving going on !

That would have happened on the second change of the lights....

Just to be serious for a moment (sorry!) but I'd have to stick to just using the horn.....getting out to remonstrate with another driver (male or female), however politely, just isn't worth the risk that they'll respond with aggression.

I was being serious, that's what I would have done, you asked the question to everyone not just female drivers But I understand your reluctance 100%

Thanks @smiffy

I'll keep that in mind too @TaffZee
Hope he / she don't get A***** with me

 

[Shelly]

If I come to a meet with a black eye you know what's happened
I've took @TaffZee advice

Also if I've got scratches and bruises I've took @M666BMG advice

But if you see me normal that's down to @Gail as I've took her advice

We need to be careful how we handle such situations as their are road rage characters out there who are dangerous - fact!

 

[Shelly]

Best to stay in your car
And be patience then

Waiting at the traffic lights one time, as you do, watching and waiting for them to change.
Lucky I had a colleague sat in the passenger seat, he punched me on the arm and said, the woman in front is in reverse (auto box)
I had room to pull out and up along side here, the car behind did the same and pulled up behind me.
She looked across and pointed at her forehead with her middle finger.
I motioned for her to lower her window, a few choice words were exchanged before the light went green.
