Good ideas from overseas (OT bit of fun)

You mean like the existing hatched areas separating on and off slips, which the impatient and inattentive blithely ignore?

Chris

That's just normal hazard warning lines. The M6 has some do not cross diamonds on it, which is ignored by people, like geof, who know better than everyone else.

Obviously your local council doesn't believe in red light cameras

As with most things dense, just another example of you not having a clue

I think ne means a line between lanes 1 and 2 (BICBW)

which will be ignored

I believe in mud on the number plate.

Huh!

Having struggled round the Southern half of the M25 this evening (the major access points were backing up all 4/5 lanes) I'd make it a fence!

Er.. without wishing any controversy, how many car lengths does it take for you or TNP to reach the outside lane after joining a motorway?

In my Land Rover - not many.

Well, it rather depends on how safe it is to do so

At the end of the day, I'm a very careful driver, but this doesn't mean to say I don't drive in a positive way

normally somewhere between 0.5 and 1.5 ...

No need to use water - just dry your hands on the towel.

Safe for whom?

I am not criticising the vehicle handling competence of those who rely on the *non tailgating* gap to squeeze between vehicles travelling at 60 or so mph, but their lack of consideration for the impact this has on motorway users a mile or so back down the road.

Rolling speed limits reduce the accident risk but do nothing about the root cause which is a local *super density* of vehicles. Dennis and I promptly slow down to re-establish what we think is a safe following gap and send a wave of brake lights back down the road.

That must have been your black BMW/white Merc. then.

Would you like to give us your definition of "positive" ?

ME? I rarely make it to the fast lane these days.

I miss the Jag... that could do it in about 3..

And those blue bags that dog walkers carry?

It's fairly pointless trying to explain such a concept to anybody who would actually ask such a question

Oh, and snoot snoot to you too.

"Positive" to me sounds like you storm onto the motorway and sit one micron behind whoever is in whichever lane you happen to end up in. Fair summary?

Which is why it is pointless trying to explain to someone like you

And no, I don't tailgate
