    Campaign Support for "Keep left when you can"

    Agreed. But just being annoyed by them doesn't solve the problem... How does it goet sorted out? Do the Police Officers among us think is a 'Driving without due care and attention' offence? or is the 'risk' to other road users too low?

    Got a mate who knows how to source the best and then where to drive deals... very useful... isn't he Jon_F? He's an Accountant and a Quality Car enthusiast so spends days trawling, speaking with everyone he knows when you tell him you're changing cars. Loves it. Hes got S320CDi, M3, RRSport and...

    Campaign Support for "Keep left when you can"

    I think the issue comes back to this; if the lane to you left is clear enough, use it. This negates all overtaking on the left/undertaking as its also referred to, because the lanes to the right will be emptier. Re the wee hours and empty Motorways bar the guy in the middle lane completely...

    Campaign Support for "Keep left when you can"

    Hmmm. Interesting idea. I agree on some roads that true, and it is certainly time dependent but routinely I find myself on empty roads with someone poodling along in the middle or right hand lane... At peak times, limits should be lower. M42, M25 good exmaples of it working well. There should...

    Campaign Support for "Keep left when you can"

    Why is it that in heavy traffic, the right hand lane is always heavier than the middle and the middle is heavier than the left on Motorways? M40 and then M25 and then M1 today ... Everyone was keeping right not left! Why? Will their slot in heavy traffic be lost putting them at risk in some...

    Should I take the fixed penalty

    FYI - I don't have anything against the Police - though my two replies above may look otherwise. I have been stopped a few times. Some I felt were fair, some not. Provided you are able to be objective and hold your hands up to your mistakes I think you'll generally be ok. You have to be...

    Should I take the fixed penalty

    Thats not absolutely correct - My previous co provides Highways Infrastructure technology. I/O systems can fail. The more complicated the junction the more difficult it is to map the lighting patterns. These do fail (less than 1% of the time), but all failures are centrally escalated to the...

    Should I take the fixed penalty

    Valid points made - I am curious though... Do you think that all of these situations are described by discruntled individuals just because they got caught, or do you think that there are occassions where an Officer is looking to "Do" someone? - I only mention this because I have three Officers...

    Right - Thanks one and all. Will get some photos done this weekend. Maybe some for Jon too. But then again, with an attitude like that... ;-) To be clear then, v5.1 or later for real features gain, but to get my house on my Comand (if nothing else jsut to stem the rising damp as noted above)...
