The Telegraph is carrying an article showing that pedestrians are becoming blasé when wandering about in some 20MPH zones and the figures are showing that there are more accidents. Here

I hit 45MPH on the flat once on a road racing bike. I was considerably younger, stronger, slimmer and fitter then:-) I'd be lucky to go fast enough to balance these days!!

I was stuck in a tailback this evening on the A3. Crawling along at between 4 and 10 MPH for 45 minutes, so over 5 more likely 10 miles of traffic. I expected to see a major incident. Nope, one car almost totally on the verge with a police car behind it with the nearside lane coned off for about...

Or my Mrs.

You never can tell these days, they could be carrying anything and be an absolute nutter. I agree "After you"; You go in front so I can see what you are up to and I hope I see you wrap yourself around a lamp post.

You were in the right. If they had been in a side road joining a major road would they expect to push in? No. Well they do in Portsmouth but that's a different matter. The worst case scenario is where the driver on the motorway slows down to let someone join and they slow down as well. They...

Red crosses above the lane on the last two gantries I passed and the start of the cones about 200 yards away.

I was out and about on the M25 last night. There were umpteen roadworks and speed restrictions. I was coming into a section that had the inside lane closed and the speed limit had been 60, 50 & finally 40. I'm sitting at about 45 when I see a whole lot of traffic coming up behind me at...

SLK 350 R172. I am trying to find a supplier of the little screw clips that hold the lid to the battery compartment on. The lid also acts as an air intake duct for the cabin air. Mercedes say that the thumbscrew part of the clip is only available with the air box.

I being flippant:p I added this in case people thought I was a moron.

Last night on the A3, overtaken at speed and then immediately slowed right down to fiddle with sat nav. Another one matched his speed to mine exactly as he joined, trouble was he was alongside me. I moved over to give him room and he then accelerated away. nobs.

I'm driving down the A3 tonight on cruise at 70MPH. The road is pretty quiet. Any cars that I catch up, I indicate in plenty of time and pull out to overtake. I must have had at least half a dozen people speed up as I got level with them. I had one guy speed up so I dropped in behind him, he...

You're using petrol that is too thick or pump is knackered.

You'll come across me pootling along at 65MPH in inside lane.

I have seen a driver on the slip road slow down to drop in behind the car in the 1st lane. The driver in the first lane also slows down to let the car on the slip road join the motorway. In the end this bright pair brought each other to a standstill at the end of the slip road with traffic...
