roads

I am very angry at these people trying to cycle up a 10-15% hill on an A road taking up a whole lane. I had to do emergency breaking when one such idiot appeared right in front of me in the middle of the lane (there was a steep hill on a turn with poor visibility in the distance). The two lanes...

The report found a third of serious crashes happened at junctions Half of all fatal road crashes occur on one-tenth of Britain's roads, according to charity the Road Safety Foundation. Its report, covering 28,000 miles of A-roads and motorways, says Scotland has the highest risk highways...

Not sure if this has been posted before... made me laugh... CXFZMGddENA

I posted this as a response to another thread last night , but it struck me as such a simple idea that I'm amazed it hasn't been done already . Having had two cars written off by uninsured drivers ( when they were parked outside my house and I wasn't even in them ) , the scum who just drive...

I came across this today. Amazing to see going round the roundabout ahead. I've always wanted one ever since top gear tested them in 2003. But at £50K as they were latterly sold? :eek: I understand Carver have gone bust now because so few people bought one at that price - Shame really as I...

Has any one else noticed the awful state that the roads are in, it seems that along with the pot holes there is a lot of surface damage and here in Warwickshire a lot of the drains and inspection covers have dropped, some by 4 or so inches.

Two men drive car for a mile on frozen Union Canal.. and have lucky escape when it sinks - The Daily Record :doh:

The 09 disc is titled as uk and tmc and major roads of europe. So does it cover only major roads ie motorways and other main roads or will it actually take me to my hotels? ie in town centres, petrol stations etc etc Bloody TomTom:doh: Lynall

This is an interesting story... The thought has been kicking around for a number of years but looks like some decent research and trials may start soon. I guess there will be issues to be sorted around insurance liabilities, etc, and as new technology would need to be embedded into vehicles...

The most dangerous roads in the world have been revealed and yes the UK has made the top 10. Full story HERE

http://www.dirjournal.com/info/most-dangerous-roads-in-the-world/ But some seriously nice views. Sorry if it has been posted already, but some of the views are immense and I really would like having a drive on some of these roads.

Report in The Times and other media today. Personally I think it should be Headlined: 'Plan to reduce Road Deaths by 30%' but they know that their headline will get more response. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/driving/news/article6136213.ece

In recent times, what with all the time i spend on the motorways, I began to get disheartened by all the road works, the middle lane hoggers, the general bad driving that everyone has learnt to grow and love in the uk.. But today I had a call to pop down to another RAF base, about 40 mins drive...

Before the snow and ice they were bad.:mad: And we all know what snow and ice do to the surface of roads.:( Its going to be hell on the UK roads for the foreseeable future. There will be be SO many potholes and cracks its going to be like driving on the surface of the moon.:eek: Be warned...

The Hardknott and Wrynose passes in the Eskdale valley in Cumbria, Lovely area [ we have a few days there every couple of months ] but aint going over the Hardnott again in bad weather. Wheels spinning, tyres smoking, wife saying I told you we should have gone the long way round, we made it but...

In the latest issue of Mercedes Enthusiast magazine they ran a feature on a 560SEL and stated how difficult it was to find one and how a 560SEC outnumbered the SEL- so (if someone has the DVLA info )how many are remaining on UK roads- or even other older Mercs?

Hi, Now that they're getting closer to my price range I'm thinking about buying a 2003/05-ish SL500 or SL55 as my regular daily car but I do need to travel regularly along farm tracks and dirt-roads. My daily commute is about 50-miles each way with dirt roads for the first and last half-mile...

As per this BBC article. :eek: There I was usually trying to get a newer cab when hailing one, might need to review my selection strategy. ;) No info about possible causes though - anyone care to speculate? :)

I don't know about you lot, but I reckon about the only place you can have fun on the roads today is on a nice slip road. Clear view ahead, often light traffic, nothing coming the other way, and NO CAMERAS!! On my route to work, I go up one from a roundabout, up a hill onto an NSL dual...
