Is it ok to undertake on a motorway approaching a slip road once the road markings have changed? I am thinking of the M25 Jnc. 10 to join the A3. (From Leatherhead). I am pretty sure this is ok but am having a disagreement with someone and

| Anyone know for sure? Q1 | 15 Jun 2005 11:25 GMT | 35 |
I am thinking of the A23 northbound in South Croydon by Whitgift School. A bus lane on the inside and a single lane for other traffic. Several right turns. Bus lane cameras in operation. So, is it ok to use the bus lane to undertake traffic waiting to turn right?

In a similar fashion has the other 2 questions by Penny. Imagine, single carriageway with double white line down the middle, which is fairly wide apart and got hatching in. The double white lines are unbroken. A bus stops on one side of the road, and the traffic starts to pile up ...

A women gets banned for speeding after getting caught three times in less than half an hour when she's already got nine points for speeding and she says she's "not a fast driver". Doesn't it illustrate nicely just how oblivious some people are to their

| 30 minutes to turn lights off! How daft can you get? | 14 Jun 2005 16:44 GMT | 18 |
I've just taken a car out for a quick run, one which I've not driven much for six months. On parking it back in the garage, I double checked that my automatic reactions had done what it usually does and turned the cars lights off. It seemed from the switch position that I had not ...

| Rationale for HGV 40mph limit on SC? | 14 Jun 2005 06:35 GMT | 64 |
What is the rationale for the 40mph limit on HGVs on single carriageway roads? If it is safe for an HGV to do 40mph in a semi-urban 40mph limit, then why can it go no faster on a NSL single carriageway?

| Indicator ease-of-use | 13 Jun 2005 23:49 GMT | 6 |
I hired an Astra over the weekend and noticed the indicator switch is just a switch that you push up to signal right, and down to signal left. The stalk doesn't stay in the up or down position and click back when it self-cancels. So I couldn't just put it back in the central ...

For years now I've been wondering why in car cameras have not been available for members of the public to use to record evidence of dangerous driving. Now it seems they've arrived, although the IAM has failed to realise the potential. The main cause of accidents according
