MSM

Goldfinch60



I thought it was just BMWs,

The only cars without indicators.

But no

The disease is spreading.

There was a Ford in front of me,

I thought that it too

Had no indicators,

But yes suddenly they were there,

Indicating what it was doing.

Not as they should be,

Indicating what they INTEND to do.

Is it just me

Or are newbies on the road

Not taught to indicate properly,

Indicate there intentions,

Not when they are doing it.

So to all out there

Please remember MSM,

Mirror, look what’s behind you,

Signal, well before you

Manoeuvre.

    A fine write Gold.
    i should do more about some roads in our area. There are plans for speed restrictions on some roads here. Or speed bumps.
    Our road was recently re-surfaced. Some say it was not done properly. I can't see the trouble. Doh!

      Thanks Orchi.

      Angela here ~ Good Sunday ~ Uncle Andy ~ Nothing liak e bit of French Jazz to lift the Spirits ~ A vivacious Singer & a touch of the Grapellis !

      La MER - The Sea we see the Sea
      Dancing along the Shores of clear Bays
      Shimmering with Silver
      Changing shimmers - under the rain
      The Sea - with her Summer sky
      Mix up her Whte Horses
      With the Angels - so pure - BEAUTIFUL

      Love the RANTER ~ Signalling !
      BRIAN & I are both Advanced Drivers and it makes you
      wonder how some Road Users ever passed their TEST.
      MSM is so obvious ~ that some fail to use it. Brian & I
      always buy British Cars ~ One behaves when driving ONE !

      Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
      Love Angela - Brian - Smokey 💛💛💛

      Ans what about roundabouts - I bet at least 50% of drivers on the road fail to observe the highway code - they are worse at roundabouts - when they do indicate the chances are that they are still indicating right when the exit the roundabout.

        Roundabouts are a rant for another day Michael.

          an indicatively penned sharing of such feverishly felt indignation,
          I blame it on lazy car engineering: how can they manufacture cars with auto everything but cant find a way for the signalling system to be automated?

          • Goldfinch60

            Very true LB, thank you or your comment.
