The article doesn't mention where all these extra bods are going to come from to police these offences. |

I long time ago I had a motor with a US compressed air truck horn. This was great fun and used to fix lane hogging problems. Sadly it became illegal. |

Smokers tend to make holes in the seats, leather upholstery is not immune. My OH does not like leather seats but I do ... so my motors have leather and hers do not. OTOH OH's cars are easier to park. |

Regardless of whether the car in front is being driven "too slowly" or not only a bear with half a brain would get close enough to be be able to read the maker's name of the number plate. Some people only learn from hard knocks. |

Here in Holland, they drive on the other side of the road, of course.Have often come across drivers overtaking on the 'wrong side', there are no words for this in Dutch.. Very nerve-wracking it is too!!! I dislike (don't want to use hate) those that drive on the hard shoulder to overtake...this causes so many accidents, and also causes problems for emergency vehicles that need to use that lane...makes me VERY cross.The delightful 'hoggers' of the middle lane are a real pain in the nether regions.Have driven in very many countries,the UK and Ireland, plus E.U countries, but found the Belgians and French the worst, but that has changed a bit over the years...Portugal & Spain were fine.....don't even mention Luxenburg, that has so many UK people....Thank you AnneC..I was pleased to read/ hear from you about the 'undertaking', as I knew nothing about this. x |

You have not met any of my employees ... some are more than a bit rough around the edges. Some cars spend years being driven a few thousand miles a year with the same 2 careful owners, others get hammered with all sorts of loads, destinations and people. |

AS well as the £ 100 fine increase the other whizzo idea of the UK coalition is to turn the emergency lane into a usual lane and thus more efficiently use the roads. That the emergency lane does not have the load bearing strength is not a problem. |

Personally I don't see how they are ever going to enforce it |

What they seem to have here in South Wales are "sting days". They get loads of police and loads of cars from all over S Wales and probably Glos and Avon as well. |
