| They must be giving cyclists licences | 26 Jul 2005 17:43 GMT | 7 |
to ride motor bikes now. I was stopped at a red light (first car) with my right indicator on when a Honda touring bike pulls up along my right side, "expecting to get away from the lights first" I think, then he stops puts his foot down and then rides on through the red light. ...

| Spotted in the Chester Chronicle | 25 Jul 2005 23:08 GMT | 6 |
I was reading the Chester Chronicle motoring section this morning, and it had a bit in it about Fleet drivers. Apparently, BRAKE do a "Fleet Safety Forum News", and said that 1 in 6 Fleet drivers have 3 or more points, which is a strong predictor of

Just got back from renewing my tax disc at the Post Office, and I notice they seem to have given me back the V11. Aren't they supposed to keep that, and will it matter if they didn't?

...my sympathies. At 3am this morning, the M5 was absolutely chocka at Tewkabury with cars going towards the S.W. I hate to think how bad it was by 8am. The M5 was as busy as it was during the daytime all the way up to the M42.

When I was arriving at work today there were signs along the roads work workmen. Then there was a 'road narrows' sign, I was looking for a hole in the road, but there wasn't one! Workmen had dug a hole in the pavement, but nothing in the road. This is the 2nd time I've seen this

Driving along this morning, saw a police van speeding in the opposite direction, blue lights flashing on top. Glancing in the mirror as it passed, I saw flashing *red* lights. Is this new? Is it "legal"?
