Not the highway code

You might get a puncture, as the road debris tends to pile up there, because most people are frightened of hashing, but you can overtake on it provided that it is bounded by broken lines. Since most hashing was put down by councils to discourage overtaking and slow down traffic, I don't see a problem.

You know best, clueless councils with their accident records. Brave drivers such as yourself should overtake on hatched areas to prove a point to the frightened drivers. Strider would be proud of you.

Indicators should be wired to work only when the brake lights come on.
Not required if you ticked the 'delete indicators' box on your BMW order form.
If you can demonstrate the correct use of the word 'innit' you are permitted to use the highest volume possible on your cool innit bruv grossly overdriven cheepo chav speakers.

If the vehicle ahead of you pulls over blocking your lane just drive around it into the lane full of oncoming traffic forcing them to stop. If a car ahead does this just blindly follow them. Never consider stopping to wait, you have the right of way over oncoming traffic.

Today's gem:

If it's been snowing, you don't need to use your indicators. It only creates more yellow snow to distract the other drivers.

When you get the warning that your lane is closed in 400/300/200/100 yards, stay in your lane until the cones are half way across it. Somebody will let you in, usually the car in front of me!

When in nose to tail traffic at a snails pace on the motorway & you see a bike gently filtering, do your best to move over a bit to close the gap. Can't have those nasty motorcycle hooligans get in front of you.

How ironic is it that a light hearted thread about the Highway Code, which is supposed to be a bit of a laugh, turns into a full on debate among a certain few posters about the actual Highway Code. :rotfl: stop being so serious and lighten up !!!!!!.

If there's a queue of traffic you don't want to sit in, simply speed along in the other lane, slam on and expect people to bow down to your importance, and remember: it is worth crashing a car and spending ages at the roadside exchanging details, and the hassle for weeks afterwards to save a few minutes because you're just so important to have to queue in traffic.

So called 'Zipper merging' where cars merge in turn at the point the lanes converge is usually considered good practice - far better than having empty tarmac because everybody is trying to merge 400 yards back

When driving in reduced visibility - use foglights if you feel like it, indicators prohibited.

It's fine to have bright headlights installed, the dazzle affecting the driver in front will speed up to get away from you.
