| Perhaps they are thinking of the atmosphere as 2D (ie a drawing) rather than 3D. I hope that makes sense. Yes that's what i thought. But even then a 5 year old could see that it's not 50% that head straight back down. I think that if then particle starts heading down then might it not then hit anot... |

| What twaddle. If anything it would improve the congestion around the area as vehicles will not be constantly stopping. This would also benefit the A2 and associated roads through Dartford - closing the bridge brings Dartford to a standstill. Sorry forgot to point out that was quoted from Wikipedia ... |

| Dartford Crossing has a toll BOTH ways. They are on the same side of the river so going anti clockwise you pay before the tunnel and clockwise you pay after the bridge. Apparently the toll payable for using the bridge was supposed to end once the bridge had been paid for - which happened in 2003 - b... |

How is a non DIY owner to have (say) a previously SORNED vehicle prepared for being put back on the road! if he is liable for the garrages use of the vehicle?

| You could then buy some stickers and place them over the MPH numbers (eg. 80 over the 50) and all will be well. Exactly. I learnt to drive in a MPH car, i learnt to ride on a MPH motorcycle but my first "proper" bike was a Japanese "grey import" FZR 400 RR with KPH clocks. A few... |

Besides i can't see they'll make motorways 70 KPH - they'll become 110 KPH or wahtever the 70 MPH equivalent works out at so you'll still be travelling at the same speeds on the roads.
Also are there any solid plans in place to change to KPH? |
