I just read a reply from one funster to another about motorway lanes and which one to use...
So for once a serious bit of info and to all those who know it already im sorry, there are loads of people who Dont know and perhaps this may help as we get something lodged in our brain and we think we are right till that day at court.
So traffic lights, when to stop when to go.
Simple really when you know.
Green is go, Amber is Stop.
If you do not stop at amber the law allows only one excuse, to avoid an accident.
The red light is the moment when you commit an absolute offence if you cross it. The law allows no excuse whatsoever for crossing a red light and you are lawfully required to cause an accident rather than cross through a red light.
If you are a hero and you do cause an accident NOT to happen...how will you prove it...you cant and your licence will be endorsed.
To be picky the only time you can cross a red light is if the traffic lights are not lawfull.
The motorway lane one is easy too the neaside or left lane of the three is for 70 mph and this is the only lane you can use ...unless...you are overtaking a slower vehicle, if the middle lane has slower vehicles too then you can move to the outside or right hand side lane.
In any event when the vehilce has been overtaken then you are rquired to safely move back to the left or nearside lane asap.
UNLESS...lol...you are on a designated section of motorway that is lane controled such as on the m25 near the m4 junction, and in that case you pick a lane and MUST stick to it unless overtaking. It is quite lawful to drive a slow moving vehicle in the outside or right lane. It just doesnt FEEL right doing that so we all adopt the left or nearside lane.
Ok that was for info only and not a shuv down ya throat thing....I hope it helps if ya were eva confused about that especially the traffic light.... scary really that you can get endorsments for jumping an amber light without a lawful excuse....if a Mr Plod observes you accelorating to make the amber light before it goes red when you could have safely braked, its 3 points and a fine.
and also would clear the national debt.

) was 'obey the following signal.' It was deliberately asked to confuse but my instructor had warned me about this b*****d asking it if you hadn't lost any points so far.... I passed by the way.
