    Crash in narrow lane

    I'm driving along, a big white van appears from nowhere, I swerve out of the way, hit the curb and just miss him, and then he just keeps on going, I stopped some little way down the road for a breather when the white van camper pilot appeared and came out guns blazing, blaming me for scrapes on...

    High Beam Assist and Lane Assist Not Available

    I always have the lights in the car on auto and High Beam Assist turned on. A couple of weeks before Christmas I turned the engine on and the high beam came on with the lights and the cluster showed the message "High Beam Assist Not Available" (or words to that effect). Turned engine off and...

    Middle Lane Hoggers E-petition

    I was driving west-bound on the M-8 last night and I noticed the inside lane was completely empty and in middle lane was car after car doing between 50-60 mph, it got me thinking. All these people must not be aware of the function of the middle lane, it must be ignorance. I thought to myself...

    LGVs in lane 3 of M6 at J10/9/8

    Gents Just come down the M6 towards Brum at the newly opened section where they have the hard-shoulder running and variable speed limits in times of congestion. (i.e. always!!) There seemed to be a number of LGV 44 Tonne artics running in Lane 3. The posted speed limit was 50 Has...

    Government to scrap M4 bus lane

    Good God above. Common sense at last. It will be put into use again as an Olympic Access Route but after that the abomination goes. BBC News - Government to scrap M4 bus lane

    Luton £3 Priority Lane

    I'm flying out of luton soon... and frankly I'm dreading it! The flight had (paid) optionals like "emergency exit seats", the parking now has a "priority lane" for £3. Apparently, if I'm willing to part with a further £3 they'll pass me through another security lane rather than the normal...

    Recommend a restaurant on Brick Lane?

    Made the mistake of walking down Brick Lane to choose a restaurant with a mate. Pounced on left, right and centre offering first course and lager and rice and naan bread etc etc for 50p. Settled for what looked to be the cleanest! Ok, the food wasn't bad, but I'd rather go straight to...

    Lane Package experience on W212

    Well it happened today. Speeding onto motorway from slip road. Indicated and was going to drive straight into middle lane. Suddenly beep beep beep. I immediately recognised it as the lane warning. At the last minute I stayed on the inside lane instead of going into the middle...

    When you encounter a lane hogger, what do *you* do?

    ...not "what is the right thing to do?"....what do *YOU* do? We all know the deal...you're on a clear motorway making good progress and some idiot is hogging lane 2....or even worse, lane 3+. I've found that in the last couple of years I've steadily gone from waiting patiently for them to...

    Google Street View - Lane Hogging

    Just noticed street view pop up on the M4 @ junction 17. Miles of emply left hand lane - but the google chap is sat in the middle lane - interesting to look at the packed lanes behind him and very little in front. And of course whichever location you pick the same car is behind him.

    Police car driving in the middle lane on the M1

    Driving into London the other day, coming down the M1, round about junction 5, and the traffic slows down to 60mph. I carry on at my usual 70 because there's no indication anything's wrong, only to discover everyone's creeping past a Police Vauxhall Ashtray doing 60ish IN THE MIDDLE LANE. :doh...

    Motorway Lane Discipline

    The lane nearest the central reservation - officially called the Fast Lane. This lane is reserved for use by important people and those in a hurry. "Important people" are those who can afford expensive cars (Mercedes E200, Lexus, Jaguar etc) - their time is costly and they can easily afford to...

    Lane Change indicator

    Hi, Does anybody know if it is possible to change the number of flashes on the lane change function on the indicator stalk please? It seems that 3 flashes is too few and 4/5 would be more useful, and considerate to other people. Thanks

    Artics in lane three

    Are they ever allowed? This was southbound a couple of weekends ago near the Silverstone exit on the M1. Traffic was stationary - but does that make it ok?
