one litre wonder ;) Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 can of worms mate with this topic when your a student quite often that involves working late at night so they would be allowed to drive to work but when they get out they cant get home?? whos going to police it? cause the coppers cant just do a vehicle check and say that car is insured by Mr Smith who is 55 with Mrs smith 54 and Mr Smith 18 on the policy and pull Mr smith who is 55 after 11pm all of the time. that would become police harrasment. christ, they struggle to catch people not wearing a seat belt etc! No motorway driving, thats very well and good when you live in london, but in glasgow with a motorway ploughing straight through the city ( im sure theres many more out there similar ) and you cant realy drive without jumping on the M8, M77, M74, M73, M80 ( and thats just the ones in the town! ) so thats not going to fly either not everyone can afford to pay for lessons for a year, all that would happen is people take one lesson, leave it a couple of months then start there lessons again OR just like my mrs, have there provisional for ID purposes so it looks like shes been taking lessons for 7 years! so that idea is flawed no driver under the age of 25 to have passengers, thats very good in practice but that technically means that little miss chavy McChav who is 20 with 5 children to 6 fathers couldnt take her children in the car.... great idea.......F***ing MP's should really think before coming out with brain fart crap like this....

one litre wonder ;) Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 There is a perfectly easy to understand rule already in place - Keep left unless overtaking. Just people are oblivious to itfor fear of being banned for comments, i spend all day driving on the roads but there are certain "groups" of people who are guilty of this.

2001gti Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) if these laws are comin in for new drivers then surley a test resit at 60/65yrs old must be on the cards?imo elders are far worse, forget driving like a loon. . . response time and complete hesitancy are more of a danger are they not?

BEP51 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 That phrase is part of the problem - people think of lanes as slow, medium and fast - slow is for lorries so Ill stay in the middle, and Im going faster than 70 so I need to be in the fast lane.people never call it the fast lane when stopped by police, it suddenly becomes the third lane lol.

LiamD Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 I find young females are the worst for sitting in the middle lane and fat business men in Audi's and BMW's are worst for hogging fast lane.. I've seen them join a nearly empty motorway and dart right out to the fast lane racks my brain!Nothing more amusing than booling up behind a cnut in an Audi on a motorway and flashing him out of the way. Even better if puts his toe down..Anyone I see hogging either lane gets flashed and beeped until they move if nothing is in the left.Seriously though, it's courtesy to flash someone out of the way in Europe, yet here it's rude? Rubbish. Lane discipline is terrible here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
