Subject: RE: BS: New rules of the road for the UK
You forgot…

1) Driving with front and/or rear fog lights on when visibility is not significantly reduced by thick fog. Especially annoying at night.

2) Driving at night at a steady 40mph on roads which are subject to, and suitable for driving at up to, the National 60mph limit, apparently oblivious to the queued traffic piling up behind you.

On the topic of speed humps, we have a lot in my locality which are high and steep enough to cause damage to cars if approached at anything more than walking pace - on one in my road I broke a front spring on my Golf doing no more than 15mph and a neighbour cracked his van’s sump. I therefore reserve the right to slow down to a crawl… ;-)
