Clapping Passed an electronic road info sign in the north of Scotland saying " will car and van drivers PLEASE allow motorcyclists to overtake safely " one of the more sensible pieces of information iv'e seen, instead of the usual drivel Clapping

I like the ones that tell me it's foggy when it's foggy. Handy for the meteorologically challenged......

They had THINK BIKE on the M11 signs last week. Stopped me forgetting how I was travelling, very useful.

Generally in Scotland the 4 wheel drivers seem to be a lot better than in the rest of UK as far as both noticing and bikes and giving them some room.

I'll say - even I managed to overtake a few cars yesterday! Sorry, I should have warned you to sit down before reading that. Wink

Careful Now though - it's a (speed) trap!.

Our electronic sign was a bargain, 150k it costs the council and it tells you not to drink and drive and to belt up..........oh and that it will be 12 minutes to Bradford!........not sure how this helps though.
