Re: Smart Motorways
IME they do work. Not everyone drives like a kn*b. The M42 around Birmingham has been improved greatly since the introduction of variable speed limits. On other motorways perhaps it's still taking time to become the norm to obey (more or less). Re refuges, I could count on the fingers of one hand, t...

Re: Second thoughts on offsiding
Must be true then . The college of policing have not sent anything out to say that they are making drastic changes to driver training for cars there is a few changes to motorcycles.

Re: Turn left?
If we're just looking for excuses to be anti-social and p!ss other drivers off, while secure in our pedantic "I'm doing nothing illegal, officer", is that an advanced attitude? Converse question - under what circumstances would taking the first exit from lane 2 provide any advantage? I can...
