4x4 toffs

[Highlander1]

While going for my MOT this morning a Range Rover driver stopped on in the middle of the road onthe single track just passed a passing place.

He started reversing into the passing place to let me passed rather than drive on the long grass! I went round him  before he could move must have been frightened to get the tyres dirty.

Bone dry verges with sand gravel no mud and a few tufts of grass. :roll:

I quite often meet an X5 driver who does the same, Still I don't blame him. A puddle in tescos carpark whould see an X5 stuck :lol:

If there's a passing place, i won't use the grass either.  Same as greenlaning, use the lane and not the verges.

Passing places?

In fact more of a suprise to me is that the driver of the expensive car reversed, round me the expect to to reverse even if you have a 4 wheel trailer (the sort with 2 pivots) behind a tractor.

At best round me you might get a gateway. The biggest problem with verges I find is the grips dug into the every so often to help drain the water off the road. What you think is a smoother verge and then the front wheel just drops into a deep hole.

If you saw where I was you'd understand I hate lorries and things tearing deep gouges into the verge this was rock hard with a couple tufts of grass. :lol:

I'm afraid I've had a couple of "moments" recently on our smaller roads round here.

I can appreciate that, if you've just spent loads of money on a new Disco 3 or Supercharged L322 you probably don't want to get too close to the hedge - but I've recently been in the situation where the "other" drivers have just sat, as if in a trance, more or less in the middle of the road and expected me to do a wall of death - type manoevre around them.  :shock:

Needless to say, I've reversed (varying distances) and let them through with a smile, because I still believe in courtesy (mind you, if the guy coming the other way could lip-read, it might be a different story!  :lol: )

Can you tell it annoys me?  8)

why is it whenever i am in my little sportscar and meet shiny 4x4s on single track lanes it's always me that has to go on the verge?

We live near a private school and all the mums drive 4x4s, they  have a tendency to drive at you expecting u to pull over onto a verge, (even though they dont have right of way!)  i however don't and play chicken with them so they can get a bit muddy for a change!
