When we drive on Motorways we typically see a variety of strange situations, for example: • One lane suddenly comes to a stop whilst the other lanes continue • All lanes come to a stop, then restart, only to all stop again a few hundred yards down the road • Yet after another short distance we sometimes accelerate away without seeing any reason for the hold-up • 'Rubbernecking' by drivers causes a carriageway to come to a halt to view something (typically an incident on the other carriageway) • Motorways that otherwise seem to be freely running always seem to clog...
When we drive on Motorways we typically see a variety of strange situations, for example: • One lane suddenly comes to a stop whilst the other lanes continue • All lanes come to a stop, then restart, only to all stop again a few hundred yards down the road • Yet after another short distance we sometimes accelerate away without seeing any reason for the hold-up • 'Rubbernecking' by drivers causes a carriageway to come to a halt to view something (typically an incident on the other carriageway) • Motorways that otherwise seem to be freely running always seem to clog up as you approach an exit Surprisingly enough, all these phenomena can be explained by the science of queuing, and the aim of this book is to explain this in layman's terms, enabling readers not only to understand why queues develop, but also to try to predict such queues and to get into the correct lane in advance to get past the hold-up as quickly as possible. We also see a number of different types of annoying driver on the Motorway, from 'Sunday Afternoon Drivers' to middle lane hogs, tailgaters and outside lane hogs. This book suggests the best ways to cope with these different types of annoying driver, including how to get a driver who won't move over, to move over - and without the use of flashing headlights or the horn (no, it's not guaranteed to work 100% of the time, but certainly over 50% of the time our canny approach can be successful). The book also explains about Wingmen, Zoom-zoomers, Followers, IFTYs, INLYI's and other driver traits one finds on Motorways - together with the tactics to adopt to deal with these drivers. Throughout the book we also point out how to make full use of the law to speed our way through lane closures or incidents; and how to make use of the techniques employed by other canny motorway drivers, such as 'slip-roading' and the (legal) use of the hard shoulder. Finally, the book takes a look at how the whole process of Motorway driving could be improved by significant changes to the laws and rules in the UK, varying from a zero-tolerance approach (but based on realistic laws/rules/limits), to legalising such activities such as over-taking on the left and 'zipping it up'.
