Even more frightening ....... Images shared last night by Greater Manchester Police appear to show the car carrying a taxi licence plate

As you say its aggressive to flash headlights

Five times for 50mph bib, bib, bib, bib-bib
four times for 40 mph. Bib, bib ,bib-bib

In the lorry when making progress I just bib my horn in any road works that slows down, To under the restricted max speed so they go to the max speed or move over. ! I Seem to be at it, all the time now.

Youngsters think roadworks are there to give / get updated from social media.!!!. Road works are where you should be more alert of your sorounding.

Especially love Wales in there plenty twentys zones just to be safe.. two times bib bib



If your a lane hogger/ anti social and domestic insured drivers please, hog the outside lane so we can pass in the middle lane. Thank you!

What about lorry drivers spending 10 minutes in centre lane passing another lorry ?

What about lorry drivers spending 10 minutes in centre lane passing another lorry ?

Or worse still, in the outside lane on a 2 lane dual carriageway.

Had this on the main A1 near us many times.

May I suggest that you check the definition of maximum in a dictionary.

Are you aware that the Police can use such posts to prove intent when they charge you with a motoring offence?

BTW
Your = "of or relating to you or yourself or yourselves especially as possessor or possessors."
The abbreviation of "You are" is "You're".

Why would anybody be in a tent on the motorway.

 

[SquirrellCook]

In Italy the lane markings are for guidance, if required it's ok to fit as many vehicles abreast as possible up to the barriers!

Well. it seemed that way around Rome.

This is what we call making progress not slowing down the flow of traffic ! Just bib your horn . Lol

On the Périphérique it is OK to fit as many vehicles abreast as possible plus one.

You may , but if the tarmac is safe at 70mph why are we now down to 40mph on long term road works ? Over 90 days. M62 east side was down to 30mph 24/7 last year !!! THE M4 IS NOT A MOTORWAY AS IT HAS A MAX SPEED IN EAST WALES OF 50 MPH. So it should be a dual carriage way.. as blue signs promote speed in excess of 60mph.


May I suggest people calibraet there's vehicles speedo with Google maps ! You're doing mostly 46mph thinking th3re doing 50mph. 64 mph again when at 70mph.on theres
I also suggest that you think back and remember the decade you last done 70 mph for 70 miles in England ? Or Evan close, now we have smart motorway.

I can't do 56mpm for 56 miles in the lorry unless I'm on nights.and then highways can't turn the restrictions off

To save the lives of the people drinking tea and leaning on spades and the lives of people texting whilst driving above the speed limit !

Also, when there are road works there are usually lane closures which means that less tarmac is available.

Was he driving 'slowly slowly"?
Did the police get his attention with their horn "chirpy chirpy beep beep' him?

Magnet around the gearbox speed sender sorts that problem.

I drive down M74 regularly and join the M6 and as soon as you pass Penrith you find the middle lane getting clogged up with muppets it gradually gets worse the further south you go it’s difficult your sitting in the inside lane doing 55 to 60 and they are doing 45 50 you can’t undertake and trying to get speed up to overtake when driving a five ton lump and move into third lane can be dangerous just to get around. Just an observation but we still get it in Scotland but England is a nightmare for middle lane muppets.

 

[mark61]

Bad on every M way down here, regardless off heading N, S, E, or West.

Still, just as well I have a Sprinter, which as you all know, have the lane 3, 4 or 5, (whichever is the outside lane) reserved for them.

Simply bad driving on motorways nowadays, government needs to make a decision either turn motorways into freeways to allow passing in any lane or enforce the existing rules.

Our local police (Northamptonshire) have launched a new campaign asking people to send in dash cam videos for them to prosecute bad behaviour, but really they should be policing the roads themselves, but they simply don’t do so. Therefore roads have just become chaos.
