Re: Dissertation survey
On the A34 there is quite often a lay-by shortly before an off-slip, and I think there has been occasions where people have gone into the lay-by thinking it was the off-slip and come to a sticky end plastered over the back of an HGV. And some of the A34 off-slips are ridiculous. If you go A34 North ...

Re: Greetings
I tend to agree. I normally only use the car radio when parked while waiting for something / somebody, or on long trips when I may have it on the vain hope of picking up relevant traffic news.
