No Dan, the slippery white bits are road markings.

I do it all the time, any one that knows the A303 between Salisbury and Yeovil will know theres miles and miles of single carriagway with an area of chevrons about 2 feet wide down the middle seperating the lanes going each way. Thats my lane, if i didn't use it i might as well be sat in the cage for an hour and a half instead of on my bike for 45 mins.

That was a good effort, and how many people got it? I'm so dissapointed.
