I am aware of how easy it is ti get stuck due to understanding basic physics and that is why my car has a winch fitted and carries recovery equipment such as rope, straps, shackles and a ground anchor. Why the need to abuse people? Have you had a drink? A row with her indoors perhaps?

You are confusing advise and abuse. That sed you will get both....

i give in, you win. You can have the last say, you obviously know better.
 
I was grateful for the welcome off members and for the advice and all I did was tell people that I understood the potential dangers, but if a risk assessment was carried out on my trip into the unknown on Sunday it would have been on par with popping down the local bingo hall. The manliness thing was intended as a wind up I'm sure and I reacted to it. I guess a certain persons **** got boiled C'est la vie Gents.

people were only giving you good advice,it was you who came over all the "i know what i am doing ".:rolleyes:

I thanked all for the advice and explained my situation, nowhere did I say I knew what I was doing. I just said I wasn't stupid. Someone even suggested I read a thread about some poor soul nearly drowning and he seemed very experienced which implies that a bit of knowledge and confidence is dangerous. I can assure you that if I had come across water rushing by at enough depth and speed to wash a car away it doesn't matter who I was with I would have been going back down that lane with reversing lights on so maybe I do know what I am doing

if you would have read that thread,which someone thought you might be interested in.the chap involved is one of the most experienced laners on this forum.what was meant is,if he can get into trouble,then a relative noobie can certainly get into a whole world of ****.
 
Not if you're driving up folks driveways you don't :doh:

1st rule of laning is check they are legal
2nd rule is don't go alone
3rd rule is double check rule 1 and 2 :rolleyes:
 
Phew. What a mistake that was. Saying hi to people, sharing my first laning experience, people thinking I had been to the Amazon rain forest, me explaining I hadn't strayed from flat earth and then being wished ill fortune and my car to be taken off me. I thought it was a friendly place to be
