Does it help if you play some of the stuff she likes to listen too?

It's been ages. She has only now started singing along with songs and watching stuff on the Telly. It's like max 3/4 times a year maybe. You guys are hectic.

Is that how you handle your kids?

If they're crying about something like that, yes...

If its about something valid, then no.

Geez that's a tough stance on a scared kid.

Nothing at all....

4 lane freeway, with a 5th bus lane.

Knobjockey travelling in right hand "fast" lane at 80km/h whilst speed limit is 120km/h... 3 lanes to their left are empty or have light traffic, and they refuse to move over and get agro when you try indicate for them to move over.

Just overtake them safely on the left if its so clear in those lanes :erm:

Actually all the questions about your daughter are because we're trying to suggest stuff that helps (especially roux). It may not feel like it, but re-read it in a couple of days and you'll see...

Which is technically illegal, so no thanks.

The idiot needs to move over.

Yeah so?

Sometimes kids need tough love rather than someone just giving in to them.

This.

Not illegal:

d.You may overtake a slower vehicle ahead of you when on it's left when:
1.That vehicle is turning right or signalling to turn right.
2.The road is a one-way and wide enough for two or more lanes of traffic.
3.The road is divided into two or more lanes.

Thank you! Everyone tells you it's illegal, but it isn't. It might be a bad idea sometimes, but it's not illegal.

I stand corrected then...

Personally, I'd rather force the retard to pay attention and get the fsck out of the "fast" lane though...

Are you British?

Actually thought it was illegal. Thanks for that. I'd have to agree with ToxicBunny here too - if someone is in the fast lane and there is space for them to move left, they must bloody well move left and get out the way.

He'd only be British if he referred to it as the GoggleBox.

What causes a car to wheel spin in the rain when pulling off, as I did that last night ?

Releasing the clutch/opening the throttle too quickly for the conditions. The road is more slippery, especially if the tarmac is smooth already.

I have given up being a RJW (Road Justice Warrior) beyond throwing a zap sign and waving them a "bye bye" after I have already left overtaken their slow ass... then suddenly they want to drive fast

Irritates me when passing a slow vehicle when they suddenly speed up and then I notice they were on the phone.

Likewise. I'll approach them at speed and flash my lights once. If they haven't moved over at that point and there is space for me, I drop a gear and go around. There is no point getting upset over the incondiderate *******s who refuse to move over. I do, however find that the above works 95% of the time and there is no need to drop a gear.

See I have a bigass slow lumbering Double Cab so I don't get involved in races...

I make the effort to get out of peoples way... so I expect other ppl to do the same for me (when its safe to do so).. but I can also happily sit behind someone until they get the message.. I'm never in a huge hurry, and ppl in small cars usually get a bit scared with a big bakkie behind them...
