Only problem with the procession idea is that lots of users wouldn’t notice the difference …

Even if you scorn the idea of hi-viz in normal riding, do yourself a favour and nip down to Aldi next time they have a biking promo and get two vests (£2.50 from memory), if you breakdown, wear one and lash the other to topbox or tail of bike … might be enough to wake up some dozy cage driver …

You’ve gotta wonder about the sanity of policing (particularly roads) when a looney like Brunstrom is finally gone, but his policies remain and then he turns up independently as the promoter and backer of a mobile average speed camera scheme for N. Wales … imagine the issues with certifying mobile traps for distance/time and how much the (obvious) pending disputes will cost.

Amazing that in a nanny states where H&S is running unchecked, policing is under such pressure that roads go unpoliced and monitored.

Just chatting with my Son and he came up with a bright idea… that we should organise a procession of Invalid Carriages, Horse Drawn Vehicles, 50cc’s Scooters, Wheelchairs etc etc, along the M4 and see what happens.???

Kids eh? But it does sound like a good publicity stunt!

We lost traffic in Staffordshire years ago, and I can not remember when I sa a traffic car on the motorway. What happened to the old days…….
