Smile The Highway Code (Unwritten version)

Here's a little game that is being played at a driving instructor forum that I use. Obviously, it's generally related to learners there but I could easily be adapted for bikers. Here goes...


We all (should) know there are 307 rules in the latest Highway code.

What about those mysterious rules that drivers appear to think exist such as:

Rule 308: In queueing traffic, if you hear/see a motorcyclist filtering between lanes, immediately close the gap or change lanes. They are scum and have no rights whatsoever.

Rule 309: If you are following a motorcyclist and you are both emerging left, feel free to pull up alongside them at the give way markings and then set off as though they don't exist. They will know exactly what you intend to do and will fall over sideways just to get out of your way.



So, let's hear yours.

Rule 310: If you are driving along at about 40-50 on a freeflowing 60mph single carrage way and you are startled by the motorcyclist that has suddenly appeared in your rear view mirror, quickly swerve to the left to let them past, then realise you have swerved too far and are now on the grass and swerve back to avoid crashing, calmly knocking off the motorcyclist who is passing as he thought you were letting him past

(Almost happend to me a few times)

Rule 313: When you see a motorcyclist filtering and going to go through the gap you had left for the last 5 minutes floor it and pull out to the right. The motorcyclist is trained for this and will get crushed in between your bonnet and the boot of the car in front

313. Complete ignorance is to be used if motorcyclist blares on horn, whilst they stand stationary in the middle of the road...no matter how loud or how long.






.....especially if you are a vicar!
