Middle lane !!

Have you ever noticed that
1 Most accidents on motorways and dual carriageways that involve HGVs are usually "sideswipes" by left hookers ?
2 "Johnny Foreigner" has absolutely no idea how to use roundabouts and invariably turns right from the left lane ?
As far as CLOC is concerned, "They don't like it up em Capt. Mainwaring ! "
The sight of my little truck trundling along behind em with lights blazing soon reminds em to get outa my way ... well usually !
Talking of lights, have you noticed how on a damp drizzly grey day the majority of grey/silver cars don't use headlights ?
They do when I pull out on em !
Oh and another thing, who agrees that rear foglights are the daftest thing to have been made compulsory on cars ? We very rarely need em but they seem to be used when visibility gets below 4 nautical miles 80 miles from the sea !
ok rant over
bed time

Don't forget, the Highway Code is nothing more than guidance NOT law. The Road Traffic Act is the law bit. From memory it states we should keep left at all times under normal conditions, which includes A and B roads - how many people do you see sitting on the white lines?

The tram lines in the middle lane are considerably smaller :lol:
But Yea, I do agree with you on this one, ( blimey an agreement on m/c :lol: ) Usually trundle down the inside lane and have no traffic issues at all

Beat me to it !
I tend to drive in the middle lane if the motorway is quiet as I find the left hand lane has been damaged by large vehicles and you get into their tram lines and I find they can move you around the lane a bit

--- Quote ---Although failure to comply with the other rules of the code will not, in itself, cause a person to be prosecuted, The Highway Code may be used in evidence in any court proceedings under the Traffic Acts to establish liability. This includes rules which use advisory wordings such as 'should/should not' or 'do/do not.'
