Re: Roundabout peep & creep?
Around here Cow Parsley is the preferred roadside plant. In past years the council (Surrey) would cut it back, usually before an accident. Heaven knows what will happen this year. Peep and creep or go like stink, choice is yours

Re: IAM Roadsmart’s car crash on social media
‘similar proportions of collision involvement’ to others. They are also less likely to believe they were at fault,[/b] although that’s not much consolation if you’ve been knocked off.[/i] Can't really comment on the bikers but the car drivers tend to take the test and I presume think that is it.

Re: IAM Roadsmart’s car crash on social media
Just found this little gem from the1988 book IAM Motorway Driving, under speed "Where the 70 mph limit is concerned, something of an anomaly exists. The Institute of Advanced Motorists, along with other motoring organisations, has been pressing for years for the maximum to be raised to 80 mph. ...

So 88% of collisions are due to human error, obviously can't do anything about that!! so let the car do it simples.
