A314 and West London driving

I finally put my finger on a self-effect from A314 yesterday. I’ve been playing with it on and off in different situations and not been able to tag any particular responses except something a bit different about driving.

I live on the Western outskirts of London - a place that includes Southall, a true melting-pot of 100 different ethnic types. I once joked that if you could drive a straight line safely through Southall just once, they should let you pass your driving test with no further questions :open_mouth:

So, yesterday was the second time that I had just applied A314 before going out. (1 drop split on wrists and one to jawline) and I realised that my normal “style” of driving was moderated. I’m normally a bit of a screamer - in the car that is! Just therapeutic, not too much anger but lots of exasperation at the dickheads on the road (never me, of course :slight_smile:) Both times I’ve been out with the A314, I haven’t felt the need to comment on others, I just knew I could handle them and the actual driving felt fast but smooth. In fact, at one point, I actually felt like I was sitting a couple of feet higher up in the car - sort of like looking down on the other road users. Maybe this means that A314 has great road-rage (or at least in my case, road-sneering) implications.

If that is the case then A314 needs to become mandatory for use on Houston drivers!

lol I didnt know A314 was that powerful, absolutely hate driving in London!

Why I always took the Tube when I was there.:smiley:

word of advise… if your driving a fast/powerful car (the kinda can get away from you if your not careful :roll_eyes: ) DONT… DONT drive with other people in the car with A314… it can get out of hand… not joking, u feel like u can do more than u actually can handle… and u develop a blind spot right where the speedometer is :stuck_out_tongue: lol and u never actually realize how fast ur going…

lol if u must you can try it… its a great experience, but u dont notice actually how dangerous it really is until you look bak at it

now AMMO on the other hand, thats different/ FUN (different story… a report i have been meaning to write lol)

I wish I did! The wife has me on a strict promise not to buy a completely mad car until we have a house with one of those half-moon carriage driveways where you come in one gate and out the other :open_mouth: I guess that’s one part of the average mid-life crisis closed down…now let’s see, what else? :slight_smile:

Now for the real test, drive west through Chiswick and out onto the Heathrow spur!!

As bond said, high power machines don’t mix well with A314 ( especially when you add P83!) Nearly killed myself on the bike a few months back, not through aggression, merely over confidence in my abilities :frowning:

having power can be a dangerous thing cant it diamond :stuck_out_tongue: lol

(now to write that report :roll_eyes: )

3 months off with a smashed shoulder and ankle, too right it is!:wink:
