Had to do a Driver Awareness Course at Carrington a few years back. Full day - boring but learnt some stuff I didn't previously know, along with some stuff pointed out to me that I'd been executing wrong. Was pretty much just like having a day in the car with the ex.

Pollution monitoring is the reasonI just got done for doing 47 in the outside lane of the M60 going east around Worsley. The only safe place on that stretch is in the outside lane .The overhead speed display went 60 then 50 I slowed down and when it dropped to 40 there was no congestion...Money making racket.

Wouldn't it be better if they looked at the speedo? - And the road of course.Speedometers are set by manufacturers to read a couple of MPH faster than the vehicle is traveling anyway so any one who gets pulled in a 30 MPH zone needs to look at them selves.

Approximately 2 football pitches in length.If I didn’t play a bit of golf over the years I wouldn’t have the foggiest clue how far a yard was.

You did the Highway Code test. No?If that’s the rules then fair enough.. Think I ll sue my driving instructor from 30 years ago as he definitely didn’t tell me that:)
However how would a motorist know what the legal distance of street lights are when driving down a road before knowing what my speed to do without any signs?

Not a barometer of anything is it. If it was then car insurance would be unaffordable. The issue is a residential street with streetlights is 30mph and nobody needs signs to know that because signs tell you when it is anything different to 30.

I did post about the daily mail a couple of pages back but nobody picked up on it. It certainly made that thread more interesting....bloody mods (ric I'm joking)Shouldn’t this be in the media thread ?
