Is there a part of the highway code that says "over 65's dont have to use slip roads" ? Because I don't think there is!!!

Saw a Que of traffic whilst going down my local dual So I moved to the Right hand lane, Thinking Hmmm this looks suspect I will slow right down... And low and behold a coffin dodger having a senior moment pulled out in front of me straight across the the dual. Lucky I was not hacking along at a three figure speed!!

I was thinking hmm I could really hack them up with a machete and put them in a suit case, so as they don't pose a risk to anyone else.

I'm sick to fucking death of people not accelerating up slip roads and entering the motorway at 30mph before speeding up very very gradually.

People also seem to have a habit of braking and waiting for a car to pass before entering the motorway when it would have been much safer and smoother and caused the other car no disturbance to just accelerate a little harder and merge in front of them.

I usually end up going too fast at the end of a slip road. I like to tell myself its because you can lose speed faster than you can gain it, but realistically it's just because slip roads are fun on a bike.

Don't worry, I've seen lots of "Safety Cameras" around, so he'll be caught soon enough.

That's how it works, right? Thinking

I saw a nice one just yesterday. M25 J10 - car indicates it's going off at the junction...pulls onto the slip-road...realises it's the wrong junction...so, still indicating left, pulls (jerks) back into lane 1, which was far from empty. A manoeuver ("join road using an 'off' sliproad") that doesn't seem to appear anywhere in the HWC!

Could easily have had me off, but I was watching it like a hawk because their previous inability to drive straight in a lane had given me "that feeling" that they were prone to unbelievably rubbish driving...

You must have spent an exceptionally long time colouring that in, the grass alone has 3 separate colours.

Adds depth I like it.

Almost as good as the long slip west bound at j9 m27, queue jumpers regularly pull onto the slip to undertake, one nut did it infront of me when I was in the Landy, as he started it I went left so the jam sarnie behind got the impression of me avoiding and clear vision of said nut, the little gain he might have got was soon cancelled out Twisted Evil
