| I saw him as well. It was just before the rain and I was doing between 70/80 in the outside lane and didn't notice him until I was on top of him. In that I had seen a van under the bridge but had come to the conclusion it had broken down, then getting in a position to read its sides I braked and loo... |

| Having just got back in the saddle after not driving an HGV1 since 1983, I paid for an assessment at the local HGV training school. At the reversing exercise my tutor told me not to be afraid to get out and have a look, make sure the vehicle is in or going into the correct position. Shunt back and f... |

| I don't see how any other parameter could be more important that gravel is left strewn all over bends, roundabouts etc. Luckily on a motorbike you can smell the new laid surface just before you reach it, but that is hardly a substitute for not rolling the gravel into the surface and then brushing of... |

Hillgrounds road in particular has been exceptionally black and slippy, even while attempting to walk across it.Whilst... |

| Quite, I think the whole of her conclusion vis a vis the crash and cameras was completly confused. She didn't come to any positive decision about a cameras ability to have saved her life one way or another. I'm sure the family was put in the programme just to give a " human interest" side to the sto... |

Beautifully and succinctly put. The image of driving 368 feet with your eyes closed is just a superb use of statistics....it is true but not true at the same time. 
Just like jokes, why can I never remember stuff like this when I need to? |

| Isn't a dual carriageway automatically a 70 limit, even with lamp posts? If this is the case then there should be 30 mph repeaters along the length of the road. |

I WAS going over the posted limit but had no idea by how much so I pleaded guilty. What should I have done to try and fight the prosecution and how could I have proven I wasn'... |

| Every working day I ride through through the 3 50 mph limits on the M1 near Luton. Since my prosecution mentioned in the previous post I pass through roadworks sticking assiduously to the posted limits. The dangerous parts are slowing from 70 plus in the outside lane to down to 50 and trying to get ... |

| I was stoped for "averaging" 70mph in the Chiswick flyover 40mph limit section of the M4 last November. Eventually fined £300 and 6 points in May. Believe me, the waiting for the summons for nearly six months was punishment enough. |

| If you've ever been behind a diesel vehicle on a motorcycle whether car,bus or truck, you'll know diesel is the dirtiest fuel going, especially if it's raining and the fumes are aerosoled into droplets. I used to end a day on the circuit in central London looking like I'd finished a day at the coal ... |
