Re: Motorcycles and SatNav use
Anyone know why handheld radios are specifically exempt from this law? The law was "designed" to cover mobile phones by specififying the GSM frequency bands which two-way radios don't use. The legislation listed at http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2003/2695/regulation/2/made give sthe d...

Re: Motorcycles and SatNav use
Not sure about actual laws, but here is the latest iteration: https://www.gov.uk/using-mobile-phones- ... ng-the-law . The emphasis has to be on the "if they think you’re not in control because you’re distracted. This includes if you’re using devices like your sat nav or car radio."

Is this officially documented? I thought it was 3 secs in that direction?
Yes, I think my finger typed it the wrong way round - another few brain cells got lost today! Fungus has already quoted the reference.

Tsk tsk!
The Amber to Red cycle should last min 2secs; Red+Amber to Green - min 3 secs. Reason, provides a small delay to allow traffic to clear (theoretically).

Re: Mother knows best . . .
One of the questions I always ask my "associates" at the start of their training is: What does the Amber traffic light mean and what is the purpose of the overlap bewteen the amber lights? It's surprising how few (all age groups) know the correct explanations.

Re: used 911 or tuned MX5 ?
If it were a Porsche, I'd quite like an older 911 - from about '88 on, so including 964s, and up to 993s. The alternative that would bring a smile to my face whenever I drove it would be an e39 M5, or maybe a 540i. Mind you, I'd still quite like a GTV6 in good enough condition to be driven. I prefe...

Re: Hello from West Sussex

Re: Advanced Driving or Self Important?
The video shows Direction/Route signs only; they are not "giving orders", so there is no need to comply with them - you may not wish to go to any of those destinations! 8-) Look at the pic in the first post. The sign I'm referring to is on the right, not the direction signs with destinati...
