1144863 2010-10-20 09:44:00 WHY. It's annoying because then the car behind you, the car behind him, the car behind him etc etc all have to keep moving up. You STOP at a red light, not slowly creep forward like you think you're awesome.

I do it simply because it's easier to go from a rolling start than stopped. I hate sitting still. And I also hope it means traffic will start going when the light goes green, rather than waiting for the person in front of them to go.

I'm guessing you're one of those people who waits for the person in front to start moving before you go? Well guess what, you're a **** driver mate. This is the biggest cause of congestion on the roads. If everyone went when the light turned green, we'd all get home a lot quicker.

Lmao please tell me you're kidding .

Well here goes . . .

How is moving at 1 - 3kmph a rolling start? How does that make it easier to take off at a traffic light (something even 15 year olds have no problem doing) . I guarantee most the time you end up right up behind the car in front and have to stop before it even goes green anyway .

Yes I wait for the person in front to go because if I go first GUESS WHAT - I crash into the back of him? Make sense? It's just physics . Crazy huh .

If everyone leaves 2 - 3 car spaces between while parked at lights, traffic will be backed up worse than it already can be . That is congestion .

I think you need to realise the roads are not a race track (and that is coming from a young person) . If you want to do your rolling starts as soon as the lights go green then go do it on a track .

Unless you're taking the piss . . Cause it sure as hell seems like it .

No, I'm not taking the piss . You are what is wrong with the world . Don't leave 2 - 3 car spaces, leave maybe 0 . 5 - 1 . Most people leave half a car space anyway . As soon as the light goes green, start rolling forward . Most people do it, it's just you and your mates that do it wrong .

1144868 2010-10-20 10:32:00 You've now completely taken what I said in my original post and blown it out of proportion.

Re-read my first post you moron.

1144869 2010-10-20 10:34:00 On a positive have a manual conversion coming for my car.

Lol I just read this. So you drive an auto and you're talking about how easy it is to start from a stopped position. Once you do that manual conversion you'll learn about clutches and gears and things that are a bit advanced for you at this stage. Good luck with life, kiddo.

1144870 2010-10-20 10:37:00 roddy_boy do you find clutches that hard to work? haha ubergeek85 (131)
1144871 2010-10-20 10:44:00 Nah it's more that I hate accelerating in first gear. I usually am hauling a decent load and first gear is just a waste of time, 2nd gear is where it's at. roddy_boy (4115)
