On the one hand I feel that getting rid of hard shoulders is a backwards move which reduces the safety of motorways, but on the other I see the need to increase motorway capacity and of course we lack the funds to do it properly. I have a specific dislike of the way smart motorways operate. The one ...

Fortunately, many people treat those white circles at roundabout for what they actually are, a pointless inconvenience. So do you advocate following the masses and driving over/ignoring them? When does safety/convenience trump driving legally? (Philosophical question). Stupidity, even when legal, h...

4 way stops are rather inefficient for traffic flow when there is a significant amount of traffic. Personally, when driving in places where they have them, I have been confused about what order we arrived in (the system is that each vehicle enters the junction in the order in which they arrived at t...

And Cameron deserves to go, he is responsible for most of this. He should never have pretended there was any chance of reducing net immigration. Hilt...

Apparently there are blind spot warning lights on the (lease) car I'll be picking up in October. My reaction on being told what this system did, was "That is interesting. I've always wondered where the blind spots are with properly set mirrors and a willingness to actually look"; I guess ...
