| Some fine driving | 24 Jun 2005 14:02 GMT | 11 |
Going north this morning on A605 in Northants at Throrpe Waterville. At the speed camera (40mph zone) a SUV going south decides to overtake the car in front of him. Problem is I'm only about a 100 feet away. I hit the brakes cause I'm worried he won't make it back in his lane. He ...

| Speed cameras (oh no, not again) | 23 Jun 2005 13:13 GMT | 30 |
I only started to watch this group recently when I come across it while looking for something else. Speed enforcement seems to be one of the most frequently and ferociously debated issues. Seems strange, if an accident is going to happen, the severity is of course, going to be ...

One of the side issues on the SORN thread made me wonder why things like notification of a speeding fine are not sent by recorded delivery. If it went missing in the post and you didn't respond, would you get a reminder, or would Her Maj's finest come round at two in the morning, ...

Real story was an interesting documentary on how roads in bad condition can affect safety. Several of the incidents seemed to indicate that bad driving was also a contributing factor, but the programme seem to be suggesting it was totally the roads fault.

| Now that was a close one. | 23 Jun 2005 09:20 GMT | 13 |
Anyone familiar with Burnt Tree Island in the West Midlands? Nasty little, tight island with lots and lots of usage and with 5 exits too, I've never seen it have an 'easy period', it really needs lane markings on the island itself and possibly traffic lights at peak times.

| Car crime doesn't pay | 23 Jun 2005 07:37 GMT | 19 |
This was sent by a Police Officer in Southern California! This fine upstanding member, of the infamous ! 18th street LA gang, decided one day that he would try to car-jack a semi truck at gun point. The gangster jumped up on the driver side, while the truck was in motion, and

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/real_story/4607181.stm Was about the state of our roads and how people had skidded/crashed off. What really made me mad was the 18-year old girl who had done an "advanced driving course" managed to skid off on flood water and crash. She then ...

| Rail 'congestion charge' proposed | 22 Jun 2005 20:29 GMT | 11 |
So we're priced off the roads and onto trains, but that's making the trains too busy so we're going to be priced out of trains. We're going to be charged more for driving at busy times and for travelling on the train at busy times.

Almost got rammed by him today, and can't believe how he was driving

My contender: A702 Biggar - Edinburgh road. Village of Coulter, about five miles after Biggar as you head south. They have just installed these speed-triggered warning signs - approach them at 30+ and they flash a

| Bad designs | 21 Jun 2005 18:37 GMT | 7 |
Some of the lights on cars are too hard to see these days. I saw a fairly new Porche 4x4 a few days ago at a junction, but couldn't see a signal. As he pulled out I managed to see it. They are actually on the front more than they are on the side of the vehicle. From an angle
