motorway travel

[Black Belt Jones]

Think it was true when they were first introduced, but is no longer the case.

You always see some folk unconcerned about the average speed cameras - boost through in the outside lane NEA. What do they know?

It only works where they have opened the hard shoulder as a result.

The proposals for the m60 will not make any difference. Just too few lanes, that's the problem.

Really? Cant see that being true.

Heard it myself, I aint testing out the theory though.

I do 800 miles a week on motorways and the controlled speed areas are total horse [Poor language removed].

They cause people to panic in to breaking and the domino effect leaves traffic at a standstill a mile or two back. There should be strictly controlled speed LANES.. 80+ in outside lane only and that would keep us going! haha

AND strict enforcement of minimum speeds and KEEPING TO THE LEFT!!!! Middle lane hoggers cause no end of problems, as do overtaking lorries. Especially in Scotland with the two lane motorways! They make me want to kill when they are overtaking each other at 59 and 60 miles per hour in rush hour. *RAAAAAAAAGE*

This. There are too many stupid drivers on the roads in general. And so much traffic seems to be caused by bunching due to one idiot driving at 40mph trying to overtake another... Bring on computer controlled cars on the motorway I say...
