We Need These Signs On Our Motorways!

We certainly do, although each one should be suffixed by the phrase "except for BMW drivers".

And a reminder of the speed limit.

What I can never understand is when I am driving through an 'average speed' camera controlled zone, I set the cruise control to the limit but still get BMWs up my a*** waiting to overtake.

Too many words for a driver to read whilst travelling at 70mph.

If someone is doing 70 in the middle lane and there is traffic behind, why should he pull over? Unless it's an emergency vehicle.

Unless he's overtaking, why shouldn't he?

Because there is more often traffic in the nearside lane doing less than 70, which would result in the driver doing 70 having to pull in and out more often.
No matter what the highway code may advise this has to be more dangerous than sitting in the middle lane at 70.

Not as dangerous as travelling at 70mph in the middle lane, passing lorries in the inner lane travelling at 60mph and then, just as you are approaching the rear end of one, he pulls out without indicating less than 6 feet in front of you causing you to slam on your brakes because someone is going past you in the outside lane at 75mph!

The said lorry then takes about 3 miles to pass the one on the inside and the motorway has been reduced to 2 lanes because of roadworks meaning you can't move out and overtake him!

I took the details of the lorry, (registration, company name, time, place etc), and phoned up when I got home. Company wasn't interested as they said all their drivers were self employed and G8 Nationals!

Not as simple as that sooey.
Anyone that has travelled on motorways daily for years on end, get to see these situations.
These dangerous people are rife on motorways now, but they just don't seem to get it.

It's a case of "I'm doing the speed limit, f*ck everyone else". They're the dangerous ones.

Why not let the speed freaks and slightly faster traffic get past.
Move over, what does it matter ???

Very dangerous people.

Completely agree.

Banish lorries to lane one only.

That's me. But I ain't dangerous, it's the cnts that want to drive at madarze speeds who are dangerous.

If the inside lane is clear, you must pull in. I think there's something in the Highway Code about that.

If there's slower moving traffic in the inside lane, then there's no need to pull in, although that really depends upon how far ahead they are. Common sense really.

Very annoying, that. I have a 'dash cam' and such things are usually recorded. Even so, I have a feeling that reporting it to the police, and even offering video evidence, wouldn't achieve anything.

- They are increasing undermanned.
- They suffer from a surfeit of paperwork.
- Even if they go to the trouble, our lenient judges would let them off.

Mark my words, this country will end up like the Wild West one day!

Both are.

You're as dangerous as them, if not more in a way.
