The GLW had it for about a month..... but started driving after a fortnight.

Good for her. Hope she does well.

I must admit to ignorance at this kind of thing. I just put the Dead Kennedys logo on for absolutely no logical reason and didn't bother to learn how to put something more appreciate on. It would be weird to change it now.

Harley Rider who wouldn't go over 30 after I turned off the A14 this morning. The speed limit is 60, but he was bimbling along whilst everyone was trying to get to work. I was in the car as I'd dropped Poppy off this morning. I so wish I had the Dullville, but I don't have time to switch vehicles if I'm doing the school drop.

Me too. Not using lights during "daylight hours" seems to be a Suffolk trait I've noticed.

They must come from Suffolk.

Driving on the way home from the shops. A bit of a squeeze between parked cars on my left and oncoming cars on my right. One car passes fine, then another and then the third almost rams me as she's too busy looking at the shops and not the road. I thought "Brace for impact" as it was either her or the parked cars, but she veered over to her side at the last moment. Phew!

The nob who desperately wanted to get in the left hand lane approaching Felixstowe, so I slowed down and waved him in. Then when we turned off the A14, he tried to move to block me from overtaking. So if I see him try that again (however unlikely that is), he can stay where he is and come home via the port. What a selfish nob.

Glad to hear you're fine. Don't let him try and blame you or try to claim you're both jointly culpable.

The waterproofing on my jacket gave up this morning. I'm warming up in a little chef before a quick dash to a b&b in Salisbury. Glad I booked the en-suite room now.

I am staying on the Gower Peninsular for the next couple of days. Shame about tomorrow's weather though. Some of the roads have stunning views.

I'll be roving around the south of the UK this week. Yesterday I zigzagged around London - through the Blackwall Tunnel, along Blackheath on my way to Kingston. I forgot how unfriendly and dangerous some London drivers are ( being born and raised south of the river I shouldn't really forget!) Got a day meeting friends then tomorrow I'm off to South Wales and later in the week to Cornwall.... I hope the weather will be good......

In summary: - The CBT must be taken in order to start riding. Think of it a compulsory bike tuition. After that you're entitled to ride for two years a 125 bike or smaller, so long as you have L plates and you cannot ride with a pillion (passenger) or on the motorways. The A2 is the actual bike test. Which involves first having completed your CBT. As long as you are over 19 and you do the practical tests on a bigger bike, you'll be entitled to ride a bigger bike - 47bhp for the A2 I think.

Well Suffolk's got that too. It would explain a lot. I'm a Londoner who moved here. But I can give you two traits many a Suffolk driver exhibits: - Lights are for only night. If it's thick fog or raining heavily, save the petrol keep those lights off. Indicators are switched on as you manoeuvre. Keep 'em guessing up 'til then.

If it wasn't for the A14 I probably wouldn't post on this thread.
