I think we should all drive on the hard shoulder of every motorway?
Answers:
i totally agree, slow cars and caravans on slow lanes, speed keepers in the middle lane and all us thats in a rush or experienced in the fast lane. as for lorries and wide loads get on the main roads
And why not drive in cycle lanes too? Just don't let the cyclists on them, or better - just run them down !
Then where would someone pull over if they had car troubles?!
It's not just for breakdowns that we don't drive on the shoulder. If there is a fender-bender they move the cars to the shoulder, cops pull people over onto the shoulder, and busses have shoulder privilidges to encourage people to use public transportation. If you want to avoid heavy rush-hour traffic vote for people who want to improve public transportation, and then use it.
What sort of fool are you? If we follow your lead what happens when there is an accident or a breakdown? We have to leave the hard shoulder clear for just such emergencies!!
have you even passed
think what you are saying they can even be 100 lanes they they must always be a SAFETY lane, so the vicchels stops at the side
you are so wrong , you know nothing about safety even a very very good car can have a tyre bust, that will need to stop ,where in the hard shoulder
That's a fairly stupid idea. The hard shoulder is not only used for disabled vehicles (which includes Jaguars and BMWs, by the way), but also for emergency vehicles trying to get through traffic, as well as the police for traffic violations.
Yeah.it would be good but what about emergency vehicles being able to get through to accidents.we need a hard shoulder!
On the subject of old bangers - I think it should be the people rather than the car who aren't allowed on the motorway - you see some really crap drivers who obviously aren't up to motorway driving!!
I think it is a bad idea.
As an ex 2CV driver, where would we go when we break down?
Where do the ambulance & fire engines go when the traffic is busy & they are responding to an emergency?
It's being trialled on the M6 at the moment, but what if you forget & start driving on the hard shoulder on a nother motorway? - You will be fined.
We can't all afford new cars I'm afraid. Are you saying that us with older cars need to drive the long way round & avoid motorways? Bad news as our cars are old they may not make the journey.
Therefore, not a good idea in general :-)
Well, it seems everyone has just about covered this topic, but I would like to point out that even new cars (or newish) can breakdown!
Whilst the idea is good, in practice, it would be unworkable.
And may I ask, where in the highway code does it say we have slow, middle and fast lanes on the motorway!
.
.Just consider this, you have broken down and all of a sudden someone with your thinking has decided to use the emergency lane and is driving at 70MPH.It's going to hurt!! Think again.
