traffic

Heading up north shortly, M1, M6 to J16. Anyone know any super traffic sites to check road conditions. The AA one isn't great. Take it back, the AA one seems fine.. Mods delete if you like.. TIA Ade

I stumbled across a few arguments about whether you should leave an auto car in N or D at traffic lights. I go into N more often than not. Unless someone with knowledge of what exactly happens inside a g/box when it shifts from N to D can enlighten, I would say that the wear when the car is in...

Coming home in the SL500 on Saturday night, stopped in the outside lane of 3 at a set of lights. Alongside me is a Vito. Lights change, off we go, Vito gets the jump on me and I have to pull in behind it when the road goes back down to 2 lanes after the junction. The shame, the humiliation...

Well, well, well. It seems HMG have been quietly cooking the statistical books to make their "Road Safety" policies look good. Short article which includes a link to the full DfT report here. I wonder why this publication didn't get the same trumpeting from Ministers as the one earlier this...

Anyone else pass under the white van on the bridge near J17 - last night and tonight? Not your usual Wiltshire camera van - those are smaler and only operate between about 9:30am and 4:30pm - never seem to be around in the rush hour. Anyway this was a full size transit, no markings other...

How on earth can I turn off the traffic announcements on my comand system? They are driving me to drink!:dk:

Just for fun guys: Driving like a Jerk actually reduce the risk of traffic jams

As above really. I'm not out for a slagging match, i'm just wondering if the members of her majesty's finest on this forum could offer some explanation. I spend about 2 hours each working day on the M4, and I regulary see traffic cars doing well over the limit, about 80-90 mph i'd say, with no...

at last we might get this here, a traffic improvement !! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7998182.stm however what a policy to have kept till now toquote from the article "Previously the Department for Transport (DfT) had discouraged the systems which reduce fuel use, resulting in less tax...

Went down to MB world today for the first time. What an amazing array of cars on show to play with. New E63 AMG too. Nice. They had £10 per person for rides in the AMG cars, and even the drive yourself for 30minutes was only £50, down from £170 for 60minutes. However the day turned bad when I...

I have now got a car with Command and so was going to leave the Tom Tom at home - only I miss the traffic update and speed camera warnings with Tom Tom. Can Command get these and if so how? Thanks Marc

I have CDI 220 SE and on the radio display it shows TP but does not cut in to the traffic reports. How do I get this or is it a fault. Also I do not have a radio user manuel. Is there anywhere I can download or buy one?

...but their tickets they handed out are still valid! :eek:

Hi guys I did a quick search on the forum, unfortunately I could not find the answer to my questions. My sister recently bought an A Class 150 SE car and she noticed that when stuck in the traffic the temperature increases from 80 to 100 once the car picks up the speed then...

Motorists could face £20 spot fines if they leave their engines running while stuck in traffic. Traffic wardens will be able to issue the penalties - after a warning - in a bid to cut down on pollution. Mr Watters added: 'The legislation allowing councils to impose such fines has been on the...

And about time too, maybe they will get rid if the clutter we find on most of our roads nowerdays I believe this is the worst slip road in the UK for signs :crazy: The A2 junction for Bridge and Adisham is one of the worst in Britain but it was beaten by the B3006 in Hampshire...

I thought I’d post some ramblings on here about my shift with traffic police yesterday (1300-2300 shift). I’ll try and keep it informative but not too specific for obvious reasons. Arrived at 1300, had a brief hello with the people I didn’t already know, and we had a quick look at cars...

So the TC's are on another speed catching run on a bit of road near me - its a dual lane bit of road in-between 2 roundabouts that goes into 3 lanes when its gets near the r/b. Its a 30 speed limit but I am guessing that people not in the know would assume its a 40.. Anyway, so they have...
