Re: Commentary Driving

What next? Associate; "ooohhh look- bendy/windy/wiggly road ahead" (takes one hand off steering wheel to point at sign). So we know what it means, but would a car Observer let that go, ... Hey, that's me that is. Well maybe I wouldn't point at the sign. That's what triggered my original p...

HC Rule 130

"Areas of white diagonal stripes or chevrons painted on the road. These are to separate traffic lanes or to protect traffic turning right. If the area is bordered by a broken white line, you should not enter the area unless it is necessary and you can see that it is safe to do so." Can som...

Re: Cockpit Drill

The logic is that if you're going to have a fire, the moment you turn the ignition on and/or start the engine is the most likely time. I use this method, but both are acceptable, I believe. That's good (that both are acceptable). I was well into my driving years in 1971 when the "clunk, click,...

Re: "Jumping" red lights for emergency services

Many years ago i was turning right at a light controlled cross roads. My light was green and I was well passed my light when I noticed a police car approaching at speed from my left. My judgement was that if I had completed my turn, I would have been obstructing the police car. So I stopped in the m...

Re: Cockpit Drill

Since the seat belt is there to help you in a collision, I would have thought that as long as it's on before you set off then that would be adequate. But that's just my thought, I'm new to all this. Well, I wondered if putting it on was delayed for a reason. There is one reason given in the "P...

Re: So how do you cope with these crossings?

The crossing may well have been created after cyclists had been hurt attempting to cross the slip exit before any provision was made at all. This may not be a safe crossing but another question worth asking could be 'do we need to be designing our roads for people with poor driving skills or do we ...

Cockpit Drill

I guess this is Noddy Question number one. Looking at the information I have been given about 'Spoken Thoughts' has prompted me to take a step backwards to re-examine my cockpit drill, which has become, to say the least, sloppy. I found this on line: https://www.iamroadsmart.com/docs/librariesprovid...

Re: Dual carriageway Speed

the only addition to the above would be zones where repeater signs may not bre required, but then everything in that zone should be the zone speed, until you exit the zone - that can include dual carriageways - e.g. in a residential area which is now a 20 zone, if the road is tree lined with a nice...

Re: Commentary Driving

Many thanks Andy and Crr003. That is exactly the kind of help I was hoping for.

I am going to have lots of Noddy questions as I try go get back to where I was. Is this an ok forum for me to use for that purpose, or is there a more appropriate place for me to raise such questions?
