He did the whole 'assume 30mph where there are traffic lights' but it really felt like a stitch up. The local police do very well financially from traffic offences.
As for the money, we all do very well out of it - It goes into the Treasury's Consolidated Fund.

Originally posted by northernladuk View PostNearly everyone couldn't tell the difference and what to do between the two. They completely lost the nuance that the bounding white lines make the difference, not just that they are chevrons. You cannot cross a solid white line so you mustn't drive in to the chevrons where you can with the hatched one.
Originally posted by northernladuk View PostSomething like just over half the room failed to realise the first one is a single carriage way so is not 70.
Originally posted by northernladuk View PostThey then threw a curve ball in with the Aston Express way which changes lanes depending on time of day.
Nearly everyone said dual carriage way but it's not, it's still single carriage but it's actually signed 50 so slightly irrelevant to the 60 vs 70 issue.
It now seems I'd probably fail most of the questions at this driver's awareness course

Its all about your reservations

Therefore, the difference between a single carriageway road and a dual carriageway road is not the number of lanes, it is whether the road has a central reservation or not.
Of course if it were important they would put up a sign.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

Think of a solid while bounded chevrons the same as the double solids on a road you can't cross but further apart with chevrons for filler. Doesn't matter what is inbetween the white lines, you can't cross them. If that makes sense :|
Why? honestly curious.
These two are an example of the tricky picks they put up to fool people. The first only has one lane either side but their are two clearly seperated carriage ways so it's a dual carriage. The second has multiple lanes but single piece of unbroken tarmac so is single carriageway.
You see?
Again, why is it single? also who the feck designed this?
But yeah Ason Express way is an odd beast but it's a good example to prove the difference.
