So what speed would you drive/ride through a crossing on an empty 30mph street?

Wow, so what would have been a "safe and reasonable speed"? I assume this is insurance companies arguing liability as the police haven't prosecuted for anything. 28 wasn't (though not sure how that was proved) 26? 25? 20? 15? Obviously you'd ease seeing a pedestrian/child approaching a cro...

He's slowly coming round to the sensible view on this. Even mentioning the different sections of the HWC. Way back he wrote a scathing article about me when I made this very point. Still clinging to his contact with a media person saying the junction rule applies to RABs.

I knew that the route we were travelling yesterday had some 'interesting' features, so tried to explain that setting the car up earlier would be smoother. First, 60 limit. Road narrows downhill to single lane on a bend, over a bridge, into a tight 120° left bend - up a steep hill. Gearchange half w...

What does everyone think of Graduated Driver Licencing? I always thought it was a good idea for motorcycles until the government got involved with the process. It's now so complex it puts youngsters off 2 wheels and they just go for a car. I guess it wouldn't do the same for cars though. But lets t...

Is he correct? Is it definitely the case that the 'you should give way to pedestrians crossing or waiting to cross' applies at the entrance and exit of roundabouts? I don't believe he is. If you read the early drafts of the HWC changes there was a clear distinction between junctions (turning into/o...
