Safe Speed Forums

I'm reading motorcyclists being done for leaning over the line, which is fair enough right?

Edit, the actual wording:



Just a wing mirror over the line will do it I reckon.

Hatched area surrounded by a hatched line, what other hatched area would I be referring to. There's a hatched area surrounded by a solid line but you can't think I mean that cos that's absolutely illegal to enter.

Except in an emergency, perhaps?

Naturally, it states this in the highway code.

So it's NOT absolutely illegal...get your facts right just once,PLEASE!

That's the trouble with the "speed kills" lobby so much BS and so little facts or logic.

Ah yes, so sorry. Does that help?

A weepy admission of not being right. Sky will fall, snow or worse wil happen . IT MIGHT BE THE DOMINA EFFECT OF ROAD SAFETY ADMISSIONS.

Is this debating for five year olds?

Pretty much all road related laws have a get out clause to allow for emergencies; you're allowed to use your mobile phone to make a 999 call, roll over a stop line at a red light if an ambulance needs to get by, and pretty much do anything else and not be prosecuted if you have a very good reason for doing it, it sort of goes without saying...

You're not, actually. People have been prosecuted for going through red lights to aid the passage of ambulances and fire engines, and the convictions upheld on appeal.

Nonsense.

The one example we found of this didn't hold itself up to scrutiny.
