| Really ? Rules are actually for the guidance of wise men and the blind obedience of idiots/fools as repeated by Douglas Bader and many others. Do you put rules and the law in the same category? If so where do you draw the line? Theft - it's OK to steal small amounts but not big ones. Child Abuse - ... |

| Mmmm, is the Danish and Dutch psche the same as the British? Do they have the same attitude towards driving in general? Do they have the same chav elements that the UK have? Would we need a bit more social engineering before we are ready for unsigned junctions? Whilst they might work in some areas t... |

| The limiters are reluctance devices - working with eddy currents I think. Mind you, even they will generate heat somewhere after all regeneration has been used up. Question: Can the limiter not usefully be set down a little - to 50 or 55 - for such occasions? I thought those retarder things had sev... |

| Presumably the issues will be the possible increase in traffic and the increase in the number of large goods vehicles delivering to the supermarket. Personally I think that out of town supermarkets will generate more traffic and that a supermarket in the middle of town will benefit a greater number ... |

| It seems to me that you could have two definitions of the word 'professional'. There are those that are paid to do a job and are therefore professional and there are those that carry out the job in a professional manner. I don't think that the driver of a LGV can really be called professional if the... |

IIRC an ex WRAC officer posed for Mayfair magazine back in the 70's. I remember swapping a copy of the mag for a Russian fur hat while driving up to Berlin. She wasn't serving at the time but had pictures taken in uniform.

| I used to do navigational road rallies like Barkstar (when I was a squaddie, a navigator too) and although individual drivers were held responsible for their actions the organisers would get it too if the event wasn't organised properly.
