| beware the Truvelo on the same road a bit closer to manchester (near the halfway house pub and TMS in failsworth) - it is in the mcr->oldham direction and is sneakily positioned just as you come round a corner.

| motorway driving before a test is a tricky one - you may get some people who would be frightened to death at the thought of travelling at such deadly speeds (;)), they may never have any desire to go on a motorway so why should they be stopped from driving around town (and there are many places in t... |

| I am glad someone cleared up this push pull thing, I have seen the term many times and not known what it was - I now understand it is "driving lesson style" :D I use the "taxi driver" technique now and again, but only really in places I know very well - can be handy for getting round tight corners q... |

| Have you never done the autopilot thing Paul (maybe you just havent realised ;))? Most people I have spoken to about the subject have at some point or other driven somewhere and then not realised what happened to the last 5 miles! A scary thought indeed, but none of them have had an accident while d... |

| just add my two penneth - I very much agree that an increased speed heightens the attention. Similarly, I much prefer driving on a motorway with no lights at night than one with loads of orange lights which are very easy on the eyes - the darkness seems to keep my concentration up (I guess it is a s... |

| I have been on the magic roundabout in hemel hempstead and it is surprisingly good - although a little confusing the first time you meet it. Having just come back from driving in Spain, where nobody seems to ever be in the right lane, it seems they are more aware of what is around them over there. P... |
