    OK, is there any other way you can reverse onto the M25 from somewhere other than a public highway.?
    Yep. Service access roads that the Highways works vehicles and emergency services use. These are not public rights of way.

    Car-54 has it. No fast lane...
    IIRC, some people thought that, if you were doing 60-70mph, and the inner lane was clear, you should still sit in the middle or r/h lane, because that was reserved for 'fast' traffic...
    And one thought that the inner lane was restricted to 60mph...
    So why would I need a sac based on that info?

    You don't, since you subsequently answered your own question, despite saying you didn't know the answer...

    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    I didnt know the difference. Main reason being there isnt a difference. One of the things you mentioned doesn't exist. Maybe you need another course?

    Oh come on. Speed limits in the UK are probably from the most ridiculous in the world. 40mph limit on a road with two lanes in each sense separated by a wide grass area in the middle is an authentic joke, you see that kind of stuff everywhere.
    I agree wholeheartedly.
    Sadly neither of us have any say in the matter, so accept the consequences, or dont take the risk.
    I have'nt been caught speeding for over a decade, last time it was £38, I speed every time I go out on my motorbike.
