Traffic Officer vehicles on the M1

Well... according to that well known ex-welshman and popular television
personality Ian Hislop, it is a lifestyle choice.

 

Get yourself a proper English birth certificate.

 

no idea, but talking of unusual emergency services vehicles, I was
stuck in traffic on the southern approach to the Dartford Crossing
yesterday, and a large ambulance-sized vehicle with blues and twos
going came hammering up the hard shoulder - written on the side was
"Royal Navy Bomb Disposal" - I've never seen one of those before.

Also, since I was in the car, got passed by a load of germans on
strange[1] bikes.

[1] strange as in, you don't normally see a ZX10R, a 'blade, a couple
of Harleys and a Yamaha MT-01 riding together.

 

Doubling the tyre load increases road wear EIGHT times
HTH etc

However, halving the tyre pressure would reduce the load, in the same
way that you crawl flat on thin ice and fold car back seats flat to
reduce weight.

 

Shirley you'd *double* the tyre pressure to reduce the size of the contact
point and, therefore, damage less of the road.

Nope, 8stone woman in stilletto heel makes more impact than 1/2 tonne
elephant foot

 

Listen, if you get an 8 stone woman in stilletto heels back to your bedroom
and then an elephant with a shotgun bursts in, screaming, "You cheating
bastard!" *that's* an impact.

Highways Traffic Officers, No cameras, AT ALL, taking over from the
"policing "of the motorways from the errrrr real Police, they have
powers to STOP you, and direct traffic, and failure to comply is an
offence, but as for the rest of it...shite..The idea is....to keep the
carriageways clear, and traffic flowing, (dont make much difference
around ere like ! )a scheme that is rolling out over the country.
They are attending minor traffic accidents and stuff, and if they need
the real police, they ask them for assistance. for what its
worth.....web site, and info is here
