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...

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...

Automatic ban as far as I am concerned. never mind court appearances and solicitors trying to weedle away out for her ! 'A confused grandmother injured four motorists after driving 15 miles down the wrong carriageway of a motorway. Martha Harwood, 81, caused cars to swerve and one to crash...

I've been reading some of the recent threads about people racing on public roads. Last night on Look North, the local BBC TV news program, there was an article about a 17 year old with no licence or insurance racing his pal on the B roads of Lincolnshire. He came round a corner on the wrong...
