Sorted.


p.s. most people die in their beds, so absolutely do not ever get in a bed.

I doubt anyone remembers the 'Speed Kills' campaign from years ago. It was completely wrong of course, Speed doesn't kill - it's the Smack that does.

p.s. 46.9% of people die in hospital (2016 figures), so never ever go to hospital.

I'm a huge fan of filtering but I do it situationally. I prefer the traffic I'm passing to be <15mph or stopped, in particular to the front of a queue, without passing the lead vehicle (that would be illegal)

Well the faster you are travelling the bigger the smack, if you double the speed the smack is four times as big. When you are on the road to have to rely on other road users to do the right thing, when you are filtering you are much closer to other traffic and people are not expecting a vehicle to appear alongside them so may do something that can put a motor bike rider in danger...

They also say 10% of road accidents caused by drink driving, so 90% caused by sober people, maybe it is safer to share the roads with people who have been drinking.
