    With the exception of invalid carriages (unless you include Smart cars ) I've already seen the rest of the above on a motorway at one time or another

      I well remember seeing a gentleman riding a bicycle down the hard shoulder some 35 years or so ago.

      It was along the M4 somewhere near that London.

      But at least he was going the same direction as the traffic.
      When the fun stops, STOP.

        Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

This gives you time to learn a bit more without having someone there to hold your hand, and the R lets other drivers know that you are a new driver, so give a bit of extra room and consideration.
          Never heard of that. Which parts?

              What next? Lessons on how to try and evade a Police pursuit without stoving your tulipbox corsa into another car/tree/bus full of Nuns for 17 year old Ayrton Senna wannabes?

                  I always thought getting rid of the man with the red flag was a bad idea. JR-M for PM

                    Indeed - in fact the minimum on the motorway or dual carriage way for non hgv traffic should be 60

                      My pet peave is people who insist on joining the MWay far slower than the traffic already on it, with me behind in the danger zone.
