Not sure where else to put it really.
How about in front of where you've already got a blind spot on the A pillar - or better yet below the bottom of the screen? That's where built-in sat navs get positioned.
Where you have yours is an offence either under RTA 1988 41D or CUR 1986 30.
Sat Nav in the window for the commute to work.....priceless....
I used to do this when I worked in Manchester. Live traffic updates are invaluable when you've got the M60 to contend with; when it's free-flowing, M60 > M602 was my fastest way into work, when it's crapped up it was the slowest.

I have to admit I'm with Hugor on this one. I'll quite happily go 'hell for leather' on a nice route on my Top Trek 9.7 but on the road it is a different story.
For the past year I have been driving my Insignia. 1.8i 16v VVT, this is more than capable of warding off any other modern top spec car but it doesn't mean that I have to drive like a lunatic.
The inside lane on the A9 (dual carriageway) is dominated with lorries, which ultimately ruin the condition of the road. The council refuse to keep these roads in a good state of affair, so, why should I damage my car because the road tax which I pay for is not being used in the correct vein.
Also, we are encouraged now to look after the environment, and we, as a nation of intelligent human beings have a responsibility to embrase this. My car is of a very high spec and came equipped with cruise control.
The law states that the speed limit is 70mph. As there is always room for discrepancies to be safe I travel with the cruise control set to 72mph. In my experience the inside lane is very rarely clear so I will use the outside lane. If the police or an emergency service vehicle approaches me from behind then, yes, I will move over as I hope everyone on this forum would.
Some idiot, (I don't like using that word but this chap really was), undertook me recently, it was totally unprovoked. So I accelerated up to his speed (87mph) and drove inches from his rear bumper with my headlamps on full beam. I was furious. If he had only waited another 5 minutes or so I would have turned off for my junction.
He had absolutely NO patience.
Nice try Shadwell.
4/10. Started out well, but far too blatant by the end. Good effort, but improvement possible. Biscuit?
The question is: which of the forum regulars is it?
Someone who was recently banned perhaps?
Someone with a some knowledge of the Scottish road network?
If you are in the outside lane doing 70mph and a faster car comes up behind you, aren't you aiding and abetting by getting out of the way?PeterPoddy - Member
Just had a quick read through the thread.One thing above all strikes me:
Unless you ARE ACTUALLY the police, YOU are NOT entitled to enforce the law.
By that I mean if someone else is speeding, that's none of your business.

You've better tell the DVLA if that's the case; I did their practice Theory Test online last week and one of the questions is exactly that.
I spent Friday night driving from Taunton to Luton to pick up my daughter (the fact that she flew into Heathrow is a different story 😳 ) I was on the M1/M25 around midnight and the roads where pretty quiet but there where still quite a number driving in the 2nd lane (of 4) at 60ish MPH, what do you do, stay in lane 1 and undertake or move out to lane 3 and overtake.
I ended up doing either as the situations arose.
Thinking about it, it's only 'aiding and abetting' in the same way that any compliance under duress would be.
If I worked in a bank and a robber pointed a gun at me saying "give me all the money", I'd give him all the money. Similarly, if someone came tearing up behind me on the motorway I'd move due to fear for my safety; to wit, someone breaking the speed limit might perform potentially dangerous manoeuvres to pass me if I don't yield.
7/10, much more subtle.
Drat!
what do you do, stay in lane 1 and undertake or move out to lane 3 and overtake.
THC states that it's ok to overtake on the left to pass slow-moving vehicles, so long as you're not intentionally weaving in and out of traffic.
Drat!

Try hogging the outside lane in Germany the sight of someone appearing in your mirror at warp speed soon convinces you to get out of the way 😯
Mildly amusing thread; Your road traffic law infringment is worse/more infuriating/risks more childrens faces than my road traffic law infringment...

I think the idiot here is the person hogging the outside lane, then speeding and tailgating like an idiot...
