You won't find that type of junction in the highway code because they are not permitted by the Department Of Transport in this country.

Just a point on that mate - as a learner driver you have no rights

They can be confusing. Somewhere simple light outside ASDA for example. There are 2 lanes and lights for staright on and for turning right. A round red light means stop for both lanes but not at the same time. 1 round grenn means go for straight on and left. 1 green right arrow means you can go right. Why dont they make the reds and both greens into arrows so you know what means what without any confusion. Now go to whitebirk with loads of lights and four lanes and see how many people get confused with the red and green round lights and green arrows.

as a learner driver i am probably more raod aware than you m8 lol

half the clowns that cause accidents on roundabouts are those that passed their test before they became so popular on our raods

as for who would go first if there were 4 stop sighns i think the old give way to people on the right should cover who gets to go first

what was the other one...?

oh yes you have to be a regualar user of the junction to appreciate what the problem is with it

bollox you only have to be nearly hit once by some moron speeding down the road to appreciate how dangerous it is and been a learner driver dosnt mean i havnt been up there a lot, i have been a passanger quite along time and a cycleist

anyone who gets confused by traffic lights should book in with a driving instructor for a refresher course on how to use the road safely before they get confused and kill themselves lol

HANGON..

if theres a million quid to spend why not make a bridge over the junction so theres no need for traffic lights , roundabouts or speedbumps , simply enable motorists to fly over the top of the junction and let the other direction go under the bridge

Think roundabouts have always been with us, may be not as fast & crowded as they are now

Well done you got the first question right

what was the other one...?

Yes come back and make a comment when you are in control of your own clutch & accelerator

I have no problem with traffic lights, but there are a lot of idiots on the road that think they know better than the lights

HANGON..

No there is not £1M to spend that is the estimate placed on the project by LCC Highway Dept Planners

for the record my car dosnt have dual control

and yet again for the record in a driving instructors car they only have a brake and clutch so a learner is the only person with an accelorator no matter if there be dual control or not

my brothers car has dual control or wife as we call her

chav1, I am sorry you think I am a clever (c**t) as you put it, and that you chose to remove Karma for my post.
Very,very childish of you. I think the words "dummy" and "spit out" spring to mind.

garinda · 03-01-2006, 11:38

Parky he's stopped smoking, cut him some slack.

The words ciggie and spit out are probably more in order!
