Default Thank Goodness For National Highways

How would you guys in the UK manage without the National Highways radio campaign. Driving on the motorway and seeing a big ,red cross on the gantry,who would ever think that lane was closed. Also ,again driving on the motorway, when a problem arises thank goodness they have a campaign to tell you to turn left, otherwise everyone would be heading for the fast lane.
Really can't believe this when I hear it on the radio, ,should people really be driving if they don't know these most basic of driving rules.

Default Thank Goodness For National Highways

If you saw the driving standards over the last week or so, you’d be shocked. Fastest lane on m25 this week was the inside lane, outside lane was lanehog city, Arizona.

I often question how taxi drivers and private hire drivers managed to pass their tests, amount of times i see a Prius all by itself in the third lane of a nearly empty 4 lane motorway doing 50 or 60 mph.

What makes you think they've passed any kind of test?
