Well my mum always kept asking me "where's your common sense" so I guess I must have some somewhere, just haven't found it yet.

BUT OF COURSE MOTORCYCLISTS NEVER SPEED??

No problem entering chevrons with broken white lines, as long as you can see they are clear then the highway code allows all motorists to use them. If there is a solid white line then it is the same as crossing any solid white line....3 points and 60 quid!!

Broken chevrons is straight forward (I have followed police bikes through these - and vice versa) especially if it is to "make progress".

Solid ones ? Well you're not meant to, but what you others don't see.......
