    Default Instant lane-hogger fines come in today



    Tailgaters and middle-lane hoggers could be hit with on-the-spot fines of ?100 and three points on their driving licence from today.

    The idea is to make it easier for the police to tackle problem drivers without being tied up with the bureaucracy of taking offenders to court.

    Code:

    Bullshit! It's just another way to screw you and make more money.

    THE TRUTH
    The Hillsborough Independent Panel. 12/09/12

    Today's report is black and white.The Liverpool fans were not the cause of the disaster.
    The panel has quite simply found 'no evidence' in support of allegations of 'exceptional levels of drunkenness, ticketlessness or violence among Liverpool fans' and 'no evidence that fans had conspired to arrive late at the stadium' and 'no evidence that they stole from the dead and dying'.

    Nah, you're just an old cynic. Anything that helps to deter tailgaters in particular is fine by me.

    I see that they're also going to target muppets that ignore lane closure signs and then try and muscle in at the last possible moment.

    I'd hump the motorists that when there's road works ahead block both lanes off so you can't drive up to the road works then merge in turn as in the Highway Code. This way the fuds don't block off junctions before them when you want to use them to get off. Does my napper in.

    Yes can't agree more.

    What if you have cruise control, or "Tempstat" if your german.

    Going down the road singing do wah diddy dum diddy day, cruise on so you can tap your fingers and shuffle your feet.

    You see a member on an INFERIOR forum doing 65 so you set your cruise for 68MPH
    few mins later you slowly overtake the fud, is this now wrong?

    No seatbelt now ?100 and telling off from a moderator.
    Talking on Cellphone now ?100 - what about hitting 'repeat' on your shatnav?


    Really see no sense in seatbelt, if you crash higher chance of being permantly dead, or no teeth left.

    If your dead the fire deptment have no worrys about you suing them because of damage

    if you have no face/teeth left, keeps a doctor, dentist and candlestick maker in a job.


    Does it matter about flashing brake lights as far as these rule go or is it just for dogging?

    ON TOPIC:-

    Said on Meat FM that everybody is ramming their way in the left hand lane.

    Now did some div not think of that, potentional to cause an accident?

    if the cars are spread out, and one suffers major mechanical failure (indian seizes) at 70 MPH will this not cause a propblem if cars are bunched up, but if spread over 2 lanes?

    Damm it, just forgot what was going to say, sorry

    I just spoken to a Moderator of an "inferioor" forum and he says wehy not just created another sub forum?

    That way people can sit in the middle lane and there would still be another 2 to use!

    I said if you create another sub forym people will just move over to the next one.. and it would be a vicious circle...

    i say foruget it.. just removed mini roundabouts!!

    Most annoyed why are these sites only signposted for torist I have it on good authority locals have a bountiful supply of doggable locals if only they knew where too- the report says "its become a no-go area for residence"
    On top of this residence there have the extra problem from this week of being tail-gated on the M5 by others ramming their way into the left lane, its beyond belief !!
    lots of baby ewes next year then

    that really pizzles me off. eventually i just move over to the right a bit so they cant get passed and have to wait in the q the same as the bloody rest of us. who the **** do thy think they are.

    a city building white van was behind me other day driving to work along maryhill road. i was doing 50 but that wasnt fast enough for him so he nips in bus lane to undertake and get ahead of me. he got stopped at next set of traffic lights and then again meandered in and out of the bus lane to get passed others. the back of the van says "am i driven correctly" and my god i was so close to phoning. w@nker. some people just have no patience.

    Its nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice

    well unless your a funeral director undertaking is illegal, bus lane is illegal unless taxi, bus, cyclist

    also a BIG van should by law ONLY do 50 MPH max.

    OFF TOPIC:-

    You can toe a bigtrailer with a BIG van, at 50 MPH in a 60 MPH zone, and speed camera, flash, but no ticket, because it thinks your a smelly lorry that should only do 40 MPH

    Should have reported that van, work on theory if you did that, you would have got caught.

    Answered the phone once at work, angry person "Some bas*ard from your place just cut me up, van blah" hands the hone to the boss, who was driving said van "Ok, i'll mention it to the lad when he gets here" crafty sod

    easy way to avoid fines,don't hog the middle lane,don't tailgate and don't use your mobile while driving,simples.i find it funny when you see drivers with their mobile in their hand with it on loud speaker thinking that if they do not put it to their ear they will not get fined.

    With respect Lainie you are one of the road users causing problems. I've lost count of the amount of times I'm stuck in a queue when my junction is blocked off by those that don't know the highway code. They block off a perfectly clear lane as they don't know the rules of the road or think no one else does. The rules state that you use both lanes until you approach the road works then merge in turn. This reduces the length of the jam and leaves junctions and intersections clear for those wishing to exit early, further reducing the road jam.

    Intresting, here in M/C theres a road junction with traffic lights, then pull away from the lights two lanes, then merges into one.

    had a punter in, he was on inside lane, some chave in a shasho or nova, rams his way in, no damage to the punters car, but some minor damage on the shasho/nova.

    they stop, punter dials 911 on his cell phone, and a Moderator comes out.

    Moderator speaks to chav and the punter, no infractions, no bad rep points, moderator bopped chav on nose, siad don't do it again.

    end of.
