Why oh why do some car/lorry/truck drivers insist in sitting on the white line both while driving and while stationary in a queue?
I've noticed this more over the past few weeks probably because I've been on my motorbike more often, but its not just a TT fortnight thing either. When I use my car, I notice it at the Braddan Bridge to Quaterbridge road... Drivers intending on turning right at the roundabout to go towards B&Q seem to think they need to be right on the white line just after the chevron section of road.... why!? The roundabout is several hundred yards down the road!
Not only does this prove a pain in the arse to bike riders, who are legally allowed to pass stationary traffic on the RHS, but in the event that an emergency vehicle needs to get past, they are just blocking the road and making it more difficult for a fire engine or ambulance to get past. Yes, I suppose they can just pull in to one side, but based on the lack of space they leave between themselves and the car in front of them, they can't go anywhere!!
Maybe they're just nosy and want to see whet the hold up is, get a life!!!! The hold up is due to the traffic, get used to it! How often do they use that road, every frickin' day probably.
A quick message to these drivers..... Stop being so inconsiderate, you are not the only drivers on the road!
