Stop HGV's overtaking!

[MartinHarper]

he was well over a tonne with sirens on kept my distance at ninety or so.

The policeman may or may not have had a valid reason to be breaking the speed limit. I can't tell.
Did you?

Much of the HGV / caravan induced backlogging is due to hills. The M5 at Avonmouth is the scene of just about the longest tailbacks on a Holiday Friday / Saturday. The cause is widely attributed to the steep hill that follows the Avonmouth road bridge. Last August BH the highways agency tried a voluntary "No towing vehicles in lane 2/3" policy. predictably enough it was an abject failure & there were still huge queues. But I think that it's a policy with merit, you just have to get the vehicles into the correct lanes early, rather than at the bottom of the hill. Enforcing the banning of towing vehicles & goods vehicles over 7.5 tonnes from lane 3(4 where applicable) would also help

I've got a much better idea. Let's just ban hills.

Let's just ban hills.

Just the "up" hills surely?

Wow. Some really informative posts there. I understand a little more now.

My issue, along with people who hog middle lanes ,

Any t*** i see driving in the middle lane late at night on the M25 with no other traffic in sight i shall flash 8 times and if he doesnt move over cut inside and over take him/her.

why should i be forced to go on outside line . Banned them Its illegal anyway .
