SNIP It could also be used to suggest to some drivers that they might wish to use the vast and frequently empty tract of tarmac known as the inside lane! Apart from the fact that overtaking on the inside has been identified as being a major cause of motorway accidents as well as being an offence. As far as I can remember the law states you're supposed to drive on the left. Always! B= Jon |

... Please point to the law / section of the Highway Code that outlaws 'undertaking'. It's acceptable to "undertake" if the traffic stream in your lane is moving faster than the traffic streams in others. If the knobs on the Brum section of the M6 want to sit bumper-to-bumper, and get sunburnt by flashing brakelights that's their choice - me? I prefer sitting in that "empty tract" of an inside lane at a pleasant 55mph (rather than an erratic 20 - 65 in the other lanes) until I'm well clear of the West Mids. To the original poster: perhaps we need some sort of device that shoots farm silage from bonnet mounted cannons at anyone on a mobile phone while driving? Or, a little sticker (or anal cattle prod) reminding drivers that the use of indicators is mandatory, not optional. -- Ken Davidson DocDelete --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

I have the number for my local police on my mobile. Website a good idea
though, nice to know there is one. Any idea what happens after you report it though? I've always wondered why the sane majority don't toot their horns at drivers with mobiles.

A pocket-size mobile phone jammer would be a useful device. It need not
have much in the way of range, just enough to cover a railway carriage or a small restaurant. Of course you might have to think up some other job description for it. . . Ron Robinson |
