anyone use the A1?
 

apparently theres a huge section where it is now illegal for lorries to move outside the inside lane! ace! always was the worst part of that road. I've not been on it for a while -has anyone noticed the difference?:thumleft:

I used it a lot when I was living down south, but now I only use it once every 3 months or so for visits.... hang on a second, what part of the A1 are we talking about???

- i realise now it was a bit of a vague question! :)

Ah I think I know the bit you mean, the 2 laned bit between York and Durham with the line of trees dividing the two carriageways IIRC? That thing was a bloody nightmare, thank god they've got it sorted.

yeah i'd be keen to hear how much better it is. I used to hate that section with a passion, regardless of the time you were on it there would be lorries taking up both lanes at 55

Thats my last part commute of the A1 North...
Great idea...:smt003

It's rubbish - it's only a short section in reality and there's no cops actually enforcing it in my experience - it's a 'Journey Time Trial' according to the signs, which implies it's only temporary.
