With so many just driving in lane 2 we could save a fortune by not building motorways with a lane 1.

Next you'll be telling me that touching the brake with the left foot when some idiot is too close behind or has his beam/fog lamps on is wrong?

Nope not wrong at all , cutting up caravan towers when you finally get past them is also more than permitted At work

I think a lot of new and Older driver's should read an up to date copy of the Highway code plus get a copy of the police Road craft book. Its all there in Black and white and its there for a REASON. Mainly for the safety for you, me and everybody so we can all be happy bunny's, plus if you don't follow the highway code rules PC plod can nick you for what every rule your not following. (IT IS ANA-FENCE TO SIT IN THE MIDDLE LANE FOR NO REASON) it also tell's you about the use of fog etc,etc,etc, IT'S ALL IN THE BOOK.

A few basic tips when out on the road, I'm not of course telling what to do when driving !!!

1, Only a fool forgets the second rule,

2, Mirror signal then manoeuver,

3, Watch every body and don't trust any body.

4, And your the driver so you could be to blame or it could be your fault.

5, And what if it take's an extra ten minutes to you journey time, if you get there safely and in one peace (just leave 10 minutes early, time management.)

6, If you make some other driver move, brake, swerve, or flash there light, or shack there hand at you. theres a good chance YOU may have done some think WRONG. But I may be wrong of course.

7, The more paint on the road the more chance of Danger.

There's a lot a lot more of course. Just have a little time and respect for other road user.

(junior) I'm so glad to see you pay your road tax and insurance, because I do too (its one of those rules of the Road) But it dose not give you ,me or anybody else to do as we please when out on the road.

I still not sleeping well sorry for the rant, but I'm starting to feel much better Now !!!


Happy safe motoring to everybody.
