On a reasonably empty motorway, I'll often stay in the centre lane. It's away from the centre but also gives a margin from the left too. But ... If someone is closing from behind, I'll move left until they've passed. Do you ever get caught out by not noticing someone closing from behind? It feels l...

Some context for my previous post, about 'time'. We had one particular trainee taking CBT (very basic skills, enoughto get on the road solo). Nominally / usually than can be completed and signed of in one day. However, at that training centre we did 2 hour sessions, so you would expect it to take l...

I'm sure councils will be rolling this out nationwide as soon as they can. U...

I've long thought anyone who thinks these sub-autonomous systems are a good idea almost defacto proves they don't understand driving enough to be allowed to keep a license.

So how could that effective promotion be achieved? There's been quite a lot of adverts, posters in service stations etc about "go left" for when you break down on the motorway (god knows only why they missed the opportunity to also say "keep left when you're not actually overtaking&q...

according to the AA: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-62789079 so 35% of drivers are liars? I'd be amazed if it's anywhere near 4% never mind 40% that have read it. Some might be aware of these changes via news articles but I'm at the point where I wonder why we even bother with legislation and driving...
