We're primarily talking about people who purposefully speed, knowingly above the limit. I, personally, do not believe for one second that any one of the 33 million drivers in this country belts up of a morning and thinks, 'I know! I'm going to break some bloody speed limits today! I feeling all Spa...

(reverse if facing down hill, first otherwise) Was your degree won from the University of Stating The Bleeding Obvious? No from the University of Communicating With Total Morans (with special Honours in Putting Down Smart-Arses0 Ah. It was a Class III degree, I see. With a fail in the spelling and ...

I just hold COAST ideals at the very tippy top of my conscience whilst driving (IAM / RoadCraft principles also), and considered associating C with Carnage an insult to the COAST principle. If I had a "whoosh" moment with regard to the banter you have with weepej, then I apologise. Mine's ...

Cracking read, that. FWIW, slow drivers (or drivers slower than myself) are just another little examination in the continuing lesson of the art of driving. Another little test of vision-lift, road positioning, correct gear selection, and forward hazard anticipation. Another string to the bow so to s...

The more that you limit peoples freedom over given stretches, the more unneccessary risks they will take on the unrestricted stretches of road to make up lost time. And the more will crash trying to make up time and the more roads will become restricted. And they've only got themselves to blame. I ...

Whenever you're in Salop, you'll always be welcome Mogs! Just drop me a line, and I can give you a smorgasbord of A and B road joyousness. It's a shame you didn't visit Ludlow a few years ago. Shaun has recently closed The Merchant House, and Claude Bosi has moved Hibiscus to Londinium. However, Mr ...

Our local CONcil want to reduce the main road through this little hamlet to 30MPH, despite the fact that the main road fronts no more than approx half a dozen houses, no schools, no shops and a pub that shut down about two years ago. Perhaps the pub closed because no one could cross the road to get...

I can't believe how so much good NSL road round Shropshire is SLOWLY being eaten up with Double White Lines. Everywhere I travel now the Double whites seem to be growing overnight, even on perfectly good overtaking straights. It's almost as though the councils have taken H&S to it's limit by th...
