Britain's best kept secret (NB)

Re: Britain\'s best kept secret (NB)

Diffferent laws in different countries. It's legal where you live

Bit like the bit at turning right at red lights - good idea and legal on your side of the pond. Here a red light means you don't move or get nicked

Re: Britain\'s best kept secret (NB)

I was forced into the slow (no?) lane recently on a work trip. Normally I do the same as you guys; whizz past, wondering what the real purpose of the lane could be.. (surely they wouldn't build a whole lane just for Nissan Micras?! )... anyway, I was in the clapped out company VW transporter, towing a 1.5 tonne trailer loaded with about 3 tonnes of trade stand for the outdoor show at the NEC. This little road train will just about hit 60 with a tail wind and a set of earplugs, but the middle lane was a definite no-go zone. What a freaking nightmare.

I now know why nobody uses the slow lane of the M1. As long as your wheelbase is the same as an artic lorry you're fine just rolling along the incredibly deep ruts left in the tarmac. If not, you spend the whole time bouncing in and out of them, your trailer swinging all over the shop, with lorries, coaches and the occasional mobile crane whooshing by on the left with millimetres to spare. I'm just glad that most caravanners seemed to be staying at home otherwise I'd probably have had them overtaking me too.
