Should a flash of the headlights be used to warn of your presence or to indicate that you are giving way?

As we travelled along the nearside lane of a motorway recently, my husband flashed his car lights to indicate to a car driver wanting to join the motorway that we were there and that he should not attempt...

Why do some drivers cut across the motorway rapidly when joining from a slip road?

Rarely do I think you're not quite right, but your reply to JR, Pickering I think misses one point. I drive lots of motorways whilst delivering Mercedes-Benz cars, so I take care to assist the traffic...

Why don't motorway drivers take into account the needs of HGV drivers?

I entirely agree that the CLOGs are a menace on the roads because of their total lack of consideration for other road users, but one point that is never highlighted is that HGVs and vehicles towing trailers...

Why don't drivers who complain about tailgaters just let other traffic pass them?

Your correspondent should consider driving on motorways at a slower, more relaxed speed.

May I suggest your correspondent NH, Salisbury, travels at a more leisurely speed of 60mph and in the nearside lane? This way the only real stress is overtaking (carefully) the occasional slow-moving trucks...

Why are there continuing arguments about lane discipline on motorways?

I refer to the letters in Motoring Lifestyle on Sunday 31 October regarding middle lane driving. Surely your reply misses the point that whatever one’s opinion of the speed limit, it is 70 mph and that...

Despite being an avid fan of your column I was amazed to read your cavalier dismissal of the points made by NH of Salisbury (Sunday Telegraph, 31st October) regarding the 70mph motorway speed limit. You...

Why aren't overhead gantries used to tell drivers to keep to the inside lane on motorways?

The sheer arrogance of NH beggars belief. He seems to believe that he and his CLOG members have a divine right to force other motorway users to undertake (potentially dangerous) or overtake him in lane...

Beside himself

Question: What's the UK's least-used stretch of road? Answer: The inside lane of any of its motorways. Why am I paying for the widening of many of our motorways, and suffering the attendant delays and...
