Re: HC Rule 130

I take the wording not as whether it is necessary to overtake, but if you wish to overtake - Is it necessary to cross the broken lines

Re: Damaged new car

Did he buy it through a lease company or is he the legal owner? Would that reduce your rights in refusing it or justify his lack of concern accepting it?

Re: Uber Autonomous Car Crash

At the current state of the art, do the autonomous vehicles have a better or worse accident rate than ones driven by human drivers? I don't think we know.

Re: Infinite Improbability Drive

At university ~10 years ago, we were driving back to Loughborough from the MK snow dome at about ~10/11 pm. My German friend was driving us in his LHD car (a very nice yellow Mk1 golf that was stolen the next year :x ). He was annoyed with us because we were late and he wanted to get home before the...

I'd guess that people continuing in lane one would see the queue on the hard shoulder and expect everyone wanting to l...

Re: Would you break the law here?

Was (still is?) a regular occurrence on the m40 at Leamington and Gaydon. When I was up that way (pre AD days) I used to join the queue on the hard shoulder. Pretty sure people used to actively block people trying to join from lane 1 at the junction who were "skipping the queue". Sometime ...
