Quick to review the penalties and fines but haven't updated the speed limits since the 60s. They dont reflect modern vehicles braking capabilities at all.

And reaction times haven't changed.
but also we now have octogenarian drivers on the roads who are incapable of reacting as quick as a 20 something stoner but the rest of us suffer

Why does it take a million years do carry out motorway upgrading on the M1&M6, I am spoilt living in France how can the French keep traffic moving at a decent lick and still do carriage repairs in weeks never months
When you say "20 something stoner", do you mean someone of 20 stone or more in weight, or a young lad who's stoned?
I know where you're coming from, but the white line thing is all about Health and Safety and the proper Safety Legislation - we work to it, the French don't.
Just been reading an interesting article about filtering in France the article was dated 2011, Dirty police tactics, Filtering has been made illegal in France €90 spot fine + 3 points wtf, everyone filters in France.

In France the hold ups are minor and kept to a minimum so people respect the limits and controls meaning less issues.Over here, we go OTT. Traffic gets held up for no reason. Roadwork's go on for months/years with no noticeable work going on which makes people get pissed off with the roadwork's in general.If we sped things up, cleared down temporary limits when not needed and generally did things better, drivers wouldn't get so frustrated and less issues would occur.
Glad I sold the Fazer , shouldn't get into too much trouble on the Guzzi , might have to get myself a Harley .
Lew - Can you send me a link that article please? I knew it was illegal to filter in France and nobody cares and the police are not bothered either. Same as the helmet stickers and hi-viz. its only if you have an accident that you might get done.
