Be reasonable..... it is the make of car that drive on the wrong side of the road. Where as, Land Rovers are designed properly for the correct side of the road!

We have the same problem here. All these European cars simply otherwise don't work! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

just driven up A11 M11 what a horrible road, and so many camper vans what's that all about? route to Dover?
M1/A1M in N.Yorks is a pleasure in comparison


stopped at services near Cambridge terrible Rolling Eyes cramped overfull carpark , we saw an FL1 crash into an AA patrol van, terrible food court area, At work

We need more cops and on-the-spot fines for that sort of thing - less waste of tax payers funds doing it that way Jules

I couldn't agree more about needing more coppers for this. The number of times I'm overtaken when I'm doing almost 70 by some idiot towing a caravan or trailer is ridiculous. I thought there was a speed limit on motorways of 60 when towing? Isn't there also a restriction from using the outside lane, though you wouldn't know that either?!

Speed cameras read the front number plate only. They can't identify if a trailer is in use and apply the lower limit.

The outside lane is prohibited unless in certain specified circumstances, which oddly does not include leaving a motorway where the slip road is on the right.

Looking at the pictures of France and Germany enjoying a taste of British summer weather has me thinking George was seeing rats leaving a sinking ship. Everyone can spread it - Anyone can catch it. Stay home - the life you save can be your own!
