Frankie Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 The junction at Baroc could go with some explanation as well, what is the cobbly bit all about How about you don't drive on the cobbly bit unless you are driving a large vehicle which can't perform the required manoevre without encroaching on the cobbly bit.

barney Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Does anybody else have a problem at the somerfield roundaboot when heading sooth fae lerwick? Its maybe da design o my front windscreen pillar, but ders a real blindspot when a car is coming fae lochside at da same time I'm approaching da roundaboot. Der's a few times i'm nearly kept going tinking i'm all clear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 ^^Yeah, the same has happened to me 2 or 3 times at night time.I wondered if it was the angle the vehicles were approaching from Lochside meant you couldn't see their headlights.

suuusssiiieee Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 How is it when your walking and you want to cross the road at a Junction, no matter how quiet it is, you always seem to attract a car pulling in? Its a strange phenomenon....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Also I'd like to see anyone who can come down Knab Road and turn into Greenfield without hitting the roundabout, give it a try!! It's effortless !! What size of vehicle do you drive ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muckleflugga Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I think my vehicle is irrelevant! and as for effortless I'll believe it when I see it mind you have to go around the circle painted in the middle o the road clockwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I think my vehicle is irrelevant! Are you suggesting it's your driving then ? and as for effortless I'll believe it when I see it mind you have to go around the circle painted in the middle o the road clockwise As I said before, it's effortless in a car. Larger vehicles are permitted to encroach onto the white painted circle according to the Highway Code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roachmill Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Well it ain't effortless in my normal sized car What is this "powdered steering" I keep hearing about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 ^^ Did you manage to do it though ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I predict the Knab Rd roundabout becomes a surprise accident blackspot, as queues of Shetlinkers form all trying to see if they can make the turn...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlady Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I predict the Knab Rd roundabout becomes a surprise accident blackspot, as queues of Shetlinkers form all trying to see if they can make the turn...... 2 down ... just 1546 to go .... oops wasn't quick enough up to 1547 now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinner72 Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 At the risk of setting off some kind of soothmoother debate (again - if u want tae, go elsewhere, its been done afore!) - in da word o da impeccable Basil Fawlty - "the english cxars have steering wheels!" Da Shetland cars haes lights, indicators, brakes etc all o which operate splended. As i'm said fur years - some fok says dat whan something goes wrang, its a "computer error" - but a computer is joos lik a car. If u geen ida hill, is it a car error?
