    Motorbike on motorway telling me to stop

    Was driving down M1 today towards London, speed reduced to 40. I was in the middle lane.

He then tried to make me pull...

    Joining a dual carriageway or motorway

    I've had two recent cases of cars attempting to join the dual carriageway as I was driving along in the left lane. They both seemed to expect, and try to force me to move into the right hand lane to let them in. In both cases the right hand lane was occupied. Have others here had the same thing...

    leaving the motorway

    This is most emphatically not a rant: I make a rule never to let the behaviour of other road users wind me up. However, in the spirit of informed debate here I offer the following - Motorway - it doesn't matter which one. Light-ish traffic, most of it in the outer two lanes, naturally. Yours...

    What's your motorway (autobahn) cruising speed?

    Assume you live in Germany, what speed are you comfortable at for extended periods i.e. cruising? I've driven 155mph many times but my comfortable cruising speed is 100mph. You may say that's psychological being 30mph over UK limit or just a nice round number. But I'm also uncomfortable...

    Up to £10k fine for speeding on motorway

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-27774455 Seems a bit extreme but prompted me to ask a question: are national speed limits now enforced by cameras on some motorways eg M25 in Kent? I saw the new Hadecs3 cameras flashing when variable speed limits were not switched on. I'd estimate the car in...
