Just be aware that if you flash your lights and someone else takes it as an invitation to pull out in front of you, you might have a problem.

well if they did it would be their problem?? your told on your test that if someone flashes at you it doesnt mean pull out. headlights are'nt a signal its ok to pull out.

Great minds

yeah logged at the same time too how good is that???

Yes Yes, we all know that it only indicates your prescence etc etc but I for one am not willing to take the chance.

Everyone has a responsibility to drive carefully and to flash your headlights and then say it is someone elses problem is really not in the spirit of the Highway Code.

If I am ever flashed at by one of you guys, please don't be offended if I don't flash back.

For those of you who choose to flash then I hope you don't have any problems as a result

on my driving lessons i was told that a long flash is to make you aware of presence, but a series of short intermittent flashes is an invitation to go

I am afraid that is a complete load of rubbish. I hope it wasn't a qualified driving instructor who told you that!

Then your instructor shouldn't be teaching.

I went to sidmouth over the bank holiday and was suprised at how many omega's there are down that way.
It's the first long trip ive done in my megga and all was well.
2hr trip on the way down and the other half watched a film on the way down then a hole 4 hrs to get back.
Was not happy but did get to lissen to 2 films on the way back.
Once back drove my civic across town and was so bumpy i couldnt wait to get back in the megga.
Back to the topic in hand i did get waved at by a few other megga drivers down that way so i joined in.

headlights are much more effective in trying to get the point of 'get out the rather way' accross to some dozy sod doing 55 mph in the the fast lane.

FAST LANE!!!

I hate that!....

Lane 1 on a motorways speed limit ---- 70 MPH
Lane 2 on a motorway speed limit? ---- 70 MPH
Lane 3 (aka FAST LANE!) speed limit ? -- 70 MPH

am i making my point !

P.S. emergency services always wave / flash headlights at each other.... wave more than flash because of the reason it can be mis-interperated!

Err? So that's the 'slow' lane, 'bit faster' lane and the 'fast' lane are all 70 mph then??      

What if there are 4 of 'em?

[Kevin Wood]

Lorry lane
Driving along oblivious to my surroundings lane
I want to go faster! so I'll sit 2 feet from the car in front in my poverty spec 3 series lane

4 lanes would still be 70 MPH limit, the keyword there being "limit"

its advised to drive as close to the limit as possible to avoid congestions, some people dont like motorways and choose to drive at 60, certain vehicles aren't permitted to drive at 70 hence multiple lanes, remember, the whole point of motorways is pretty much a short cut for long distance

In the MIDDLE bloody lane, irrespective of the amount of traffic or the speed of everyone else!

i only said 'fast lane' as it what is commanly reffered too.

i know there is no 'fast lane or 'lorry lane'

you should be on the left unless overtaking regardless of speed or what vehicle your in.

even more infuriating when your travelin on a quite motorway in lane 1 and some twonk is sitting in lane 2 when there is nothing insight ahead, you have to go lane two then 3 to pass then all way back to lane 1 and they still sit in lane 2.
