Look on the bright side, being stuck for 3 hours on the A500 near Stoke means that's 3 hours less you'll have to spend in Stoke! ____________________ "Everybody needs money, that's why they call it money!" |

Let’s say you were in that traffic and had gone past the last chance of turning off.
And even filtering to the front wouldnt help because all three lanes are closed for the fire and diesel spill...
You are able to turn around and “reverse filter” back to the slip road that’s still open to leave - and filter up it and away.
Would you?
(This is rhetorical as I’m currently sat at home comfortable on my sofa - but it got me thinking I probably would in that situation) |
Depends on a couple of things.
How well I knew the road would be one thing, I would want to know that if I was taking a chance, there weren't going to be any CCTV cameras following my regress.
This might be negated by the fact that I don't listen to the radio, or have a sat nav when I'm on the bike, so I would have no idea the road was totally blocked; therefore, I would automatically filter to the front, encounter a total roadblock and lots of emergency services personnel, then ask advice as to how I should proceed.
If they suggested I go the wrong way down the hard shoulder, then I probably would. ____________________ Things get better with age; I'm close to being magnificent........

Genuinely shocked that there are people that wouldnt do it.
5 hours sat there exposed to the elements and other numpties in cars vs 10 minutes of essentially what is just normal filtering but with the added bonus of the car drivers facing you rather than you sneaking up on them.. ____________________ 1993 RF400R - 2002 Bandit 1200 - 2012 1250 FA |

find a gap in the central reservation and go the other way legally.
I seem to remember load of drivers recently get propafked because they went the wrong way down the hard shoulder (because the road was closed due to a serious accident) and their actions meant the emergency services couldn't get to the scene
Interested the know the law on pushing the bike back up the road
