Funny as it seems, they all do it. Mostly when you don't want them to. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of David Andrews Sent: Tuesday, 1 April 2003 9:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Road Rage Importance: High
Have to disagree there. In general (and even more so in my POS magna) I will completely expect trucks, buses, semi's, everything to give way as per normal, and it gives me the shits when they don't. Like public transport buses just pulling out onto a single lane 60kph road, buggered if I'm going to stop and let em in. I don't give a crap about my car, do they give a crap about their job?
