| Thanks chaps I'm sure you can see why i made the thread, although perhaps pointlessly going over a similar subject that as said, has been discussed. I've just past my 2 years of driving and still learning things, regardless of how much i drive about, there is always something new to find out. It's t... |

| It doesn't worry me either way whether i can go up 70mph, because I am quite happy to chug along at 60 but exactly where does the speed limit become 70. I was driving across the otherside of my county the other day and came across these barriers: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&l... |

| Hello I partly have a problem with this issue, but I feel I'm completely innocent as it regarding a a test drive at a proper dealer who gave me permission to do it.

| All speed cameras (mobile and fixed) in Wiltshire are going to be turned of in October, it was announced yesterday because they cost too much :o :shock: I would of thought they would pay for themselves. Hopefully it doesn't make people think that it is now ok to drive stupidly around here now. But a... |

| Don't worry, most people will get confused by the road markings is a different city. As you get more experience you'll get to know what to look for and how to interpret the sign-age. Use your COAST skills to read the signs and the traffic, because when the traffic is heavy you can't always see the ... |
