traffic in Newbury Options

[Nothing Much]

I must agree Andy Capp.. Whilst I have no idea what the rear end of my car looks like from the back end of a camel.
US cars near airbases I pass have just the confusing mixed lighting you describe. Bring back hand signals.
Oh the joys of winding down the window to indicate left round St Johns . Annoyingly there was a perfectly good light as well.

I think they meant cars now have integrated light clusters, rather than a separate indicator. I must say I don't like this trend as it is not always that easy to see them in daylight.

i think nearly all cars have light out markers on them even my old vectra with 250000 miles still tell me if a bulb out, I once had a 82 ford granada even told me which bulb was out and even which door was not closed properly did not tell me how to drive but it did tell me if a fault wonderful car

Really?

Any examples as I don't think I've received the ESP receiver yet.

I think he was going in heavy on the irony.

A victim of my own sarcasm!

Just wait until you get a good car!


Most cars don't have lights out warning.. EG My friends 61 plate Corsa SRI doesn't. Neither does my Mother's Toyboata.

Any car being used as a taxi has to have a range of warning lights, as professional drivers don't expect to have to do mundane things like check for themselves......

or look where they're going.

I saw a taxi nearly intentionally drive at someone today (about half five), by the roundabout near the Jobcentre. I'm pretty sure it had a Kenikab sticker on the side. Not all that relevant but I do think professional drivers and Taxi drivers are in a different league.

Might I suggest you intend that they are in different leagues?

Coming back to the original rant about traffic using the A339, a good deal of this is en route to Basingstoke after coming off the A34 north of Newbury because its a good deal shorter than going to ToT Hill or going all the way to Join the the A303 then driving east to Basingstoke. and who can blame them ?

That's right - this, and the heavy traffic at Thatcham Level Crossing, is a result of the by-pass being built on the wrong side of Newbury.

Almost time for a ring road I reckon.

Yes, a ring rd, around the ring rd that's currently going past the ring rd. I'll vote for that.

I suspect cost to build was a greater concern than where it went.

Correct.
Financially (not environmentally) it was cheaper to go West.
Money Talks!!

Maybe we can have the A25.
