Idiot, Impatient drivers

When driving down from the top of Forest Hill Road toward Peckham Rye Park, I go through the traffic lights at Brenchly gardens and then turn right into Marmora Road. The lane go's from 2 to 1 just beyond the lights, so there's oncoming traffic, I am indicating and my car is positioned as close to the white line as it can be waiting to turn right, so why is it that I get bibbed, like I'm not supposed to be there?


Have some sense, I can't pull in front of oncoming traffic for Gods sake (6)

Yeah, cos Colyton Road isn't residential! Marmora is as much of a through route as any!

Marmora Man, is it your road or just the road you live on? Anyway, seeing as I am of the "weaker sex" I find it better for me to go down Marmora, than attempt to pass all those lovely shops on the left on the way to Colyton, besides the fact I'd have to double back up Scutari to get to Marmora where I wanted to be in the first place.


You could always buy the road and only those who live there or have good reason to be there could use it, just a thought>:D<

BB - so you must work or live on Marmora Road. If it's the former that's unusual, if it's the latter you must also be disturbed by other road users using the road as a rat run, particularly early in the morning and late at night, to avoid the traffic lights and queues on Forest Hill Road.

    • That is clearly not true. I see car drivers breaking the law on an hourly basis - jumping red lights, speeding, not obeying the general rules. Plus they are operating considerably more dangerous machinery and should have a greater responsibility of care to other road uses. You can see who causes the most harm by the stats. 
    • Looking for a suit for an 11 year old. Quite specific, white with black thin stripes.  Trying to replicate Michael Jacksons smooth criminal costume.  A blue linen shirt and white tie.    Thank you !!!!!!!
    • A quick Google found this, amongst other things: "Social impact models are frameworks or approaches that guide how organizations or initiatives address social or environmental problems."
    • "If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck then it must be a duck" comes to mind Unfortunately, a large number of cyclists do exhibit selfish amd anti social behaviour which, regardless of how many good cyclists there are, is seen as the norm.  It's a bit like one car driver jumping a red light and all car drivers getting tarred by the same brush. Perception is the issue and if cyclists all obeyed the rules, everyone would be less anti them but unfortunately that isn't the case 🤔
