| So far mine has to be the idiot girl last night who was in the right hand lane at a roundabout whilst I was in the left to go straight ahead and then she turned left across me.

| Yes - that white is part of the start of the bridge wall, so there is no space to drive anywhere except on the actual lane. I did notice last time I was driving on the Continent (mainly Germany and Austria), that the lanes weren't much longer, but they did use the hard shoulder more for filtering in. |

| One I don't like is the Northbound on slip road of the M6 Junction 34. From traffic lights at the junction where the slip road starts, its uphill to the motorway with 1 lane. It then meets the motorway, and almost as soon as the white dashes start to let you filter onto the motorway, the sliproad bi... |

Probably the same Lancs scam van/driver I had overtaking me north bound on the M6 North of Preston about 6 weeks ago.
He didn't just edge past me - shot probably closer to the word, so must have been doing quite a bit more than the 70ish I was doing. |

| Is this the same location that I have seen on on the end of Princess Road, underneath the 2 motorway bridges with the van parked on the left on gravel patches. I saw it a few months ago there, and thought it was stupid location, but also that if you read the guidelines about camera locations they ar... |
