The best route from Plas Coch Retail Park to Oswestry

The best route you can take from Plas Coch Retail Park if you wish to travel in the direction of Oswestry is to turn right onto Plas Coch Road. Then you choose the right hand lane signposted for Chester and proceed to the set of traffic lights. At the lights you ignore the vehicles in the centre lane that are signalling a right turn and you continue to make a right turn. When you find that the vehicle in the centre lane forces you to remain in the right hand lane, you blast your horn at them, cut across two lanes, offering them a victory “V” sign and turn left onto the A483 oblivious of the fact that you are in the wrong.
I hope that the people who make this manoeuvre on a regular basis will take note of the fact that they should use the left hand lane to go towards the town centre, the middle lane to go towards B and Q, Oswestry and Mold and the right hand lane “FOR CHESTER ONLY”. If you can’t work it out you shouldn’t be driving at all.
I agree that some the standard of driving in town is very poor. Last Wednesday whilst filtering in turn at the lights on Regent Street a taxi decided it was his/her turn when it wasn’t and kindly cut me up. Oh yes…the registration mark was JOK.
Granted jok, you may well be a professional driver (along with the many other private hire and taxi cab drivers) but by the word ‘professional’, I mean that you follow that nature of employment to earn a living. But of course, ‘professional’ has another meaning also – a skilled practioner, an expert. Generally speaking, the second definition I have quoted seems to be lacking in many of your colleagues.
I have driven all types of vehicle over a 46 year period and whilst I do judge myself to be reasonably competent, I shrink away from the term professional, as I along with many, many others do have lapses in judgement and do make the occasional wrong choice.
Your constant criticism of the driving skills of others is tiresome to say the least. Perhaps those that live in glass houses should desist from throwing stones as they too maybe found wanting as highlighted in johnhoppy’s post above.Benjamin M, johnhoppy writes his/her, I have no recollection of the event. I video all of my journeys and if it was me I will let you know.

Whatever turns you on. You might prefer SKY TV and I could get £25 for putting your name forward.! 😀
The roundabout concerned at the start of this thread, is as follows.
Left lane – left towards town centre
Middle lane – Ahead ( towards b&q ) and right towards mold ( and filter over for Oswestry )
Right lane – Chester.Part of the confusion is caused by poor and late road markings and signage.

Unless you have rear facing video I doubt if you will have recorded the event. My video will no doubt have picked it up though, but as it also records details of my car etc I have no desire to put it into the public domain.
