Like A Lot On Here

[TWR]

Like us all we travel on the overcrowded UK Motorways, I have seen up-on thousands of accidents, many deaths / Injuries, been lucky never have been involved myself in one, I has been unbelievable how people drive, take chances, at times come unstuck, in what way if you were asked could you improve Motorway Safety & try to come up with a solution to try & stop these happening?

"I have seen up-on thousands of accidents, many deaths / Injuries,"

Really???

Will you teach me, TWR?

What is the speed limit on the major highways in the UK? In Ontario it's 100kph; however, the cops will usually let you get away with an extra 10.

[TWR]

Motorways, Cars 70, car & caravan 60, Coaches 60mph, Trunk road 60mph, unless otherwise stated, Built up areas, 30mph School Areas 20mph if stated,

[TWR]

Yes BOO.X

[Zeuhl]

The limit is 70 mph (113K) but most people edge it to 80/85 (130-ish) without worrying too much. Anything over 90 (144k) is risky.

[TWR]

100MPH Stuey, Instant Ban

[Zeuhl]

most Trunk Road is 70 mph limit not 60 twr as they are dual carriageways.

the limit drops to 60 on single carriageways or where a lower limit has been specially imposed due to added risks such as bends, junctions etc

[stuey]

Thanks.

If you've seen thousands TWR, I'd be seriously wondering if you were the cause of 'em I were you!

In all my 40 odd years I think I can count on the fingers of one hand the major accidents ive witnessed.

What you have to remember is,
On the Even Minute you join from the Right
and
On the Odd Minute you join from the Left

That's what you get for not using the rear view mirror.

The minimum speed the Association of Chief Police Officers recommend for a ticket is limit+10%+2 mph.

I left school some years ago........I could do the kids homework (if I knew What The Funicular it was all about)


Sorry TWR but 12 accidents in one morning sounds incredulous.
