More crap isle driving more twats arriving soon..
Does anyone understand breaking distance, and the dangers of tailgating on this island?…
Breaking distance = you are too close and Braking distance = 23 Metres at 30 MPH
Complete garbage. Reaction times aside, it’s down to the vehicle you are driving. Modern car with computer assisted breaking, carbon fibre brakes and large calipers is going to stop considerably shorter than a 1990 ford focus for instance.
Not paying attention is more of concern than a breaking distance from a book that was made years ago and not updated for a modern world in my opinion.
So many idiots are driving on Island roads
There are too many Shunts on this island
Did you say Shunts and mean something else?
You found me out you rascal
Lol
This is always happening here! Something needs to be done before you know what happens
Hardly surprising that since they altered how traffic leaving the estate by Curries entered the dual carriageway if they want to go to Sandown, Shanklin etc they now have to drive accross the Ryde traffic laneand wait for someone to let them into the outside lane. I now drive to B& Q junction if I go to Curries.
Too many mindless drivers on the island, many are too busy on their
phones
