and that lane is NOT clear.. and it certainly isn't safe to assume it doesn't get used

"most of the time there is a clear lane on the left not being used

Just checking that I did get it correct in my first post, as it seemed I was being corrected.

The high level of tailgating is more shocking and dangerous.

I've twice seen groups of pedestrians on the M11. No broken down cars on the hard shoulder in sight. In one instance they were walking AWAY from a nearby junction. In the other instance they had been spotted and there was a temporary speed restriction and "warning pedestrians" on the gantries.

The driver of my coach to Brighton was tailgating an HGV hard yesterday. It was nearly all you could see through the windscreen, and this was while going at least 40 mph. Terrifying.

Was it Magnatom in the fast lane again ?

I'm showing my age now, but before the M20 was opened to traffic, me and some other kids snuck onto the newly built road when no one was about and cycled up and down a stretch of it - brilliant fun!

You must be the same age as me, my brother and I were friend with a pair of twins who lived in Swanley, and we roller-skated up the M20 (before it was open to traffic)

I think Sat Nav's remove the skill of map reading.

Wait... map reading actually requires skill?

I think Sat Nav's remove the skill of map reading.

In theory, they make it an obsolete skill, like supermarkets and knowing how to butcher your own meat. That's what they should do. The problem is that they go wrong too frequently, and people often seem to trust the device's judgement more than their own.
