Just milling around asking questions and discussing things

So. News just in... The reinstatement of the hardshoulder will mean that your vehicle will no longer breakdown. Nothing to do with people not maintaining their vehicles or other factors? https://t.co/erD7lNxdls

@tweetranscribed @UB1UB2 This is golden. Remember. The road is the problem here

[Captain Carriageway @Cpt_Carraigeway]

Remember #SmartMotorways are the most dangerous road in the country. Every other road is perfectly safe and doesn't need a campaign. #GreatPonton #A1 https://t.co/4xhbR8i23P

@TheRAC_UK What's the plan for other roads at NSL roads with no shoulder please?

[Captain Carriageway @Cpt_Carraigeway]

@StarBlades @RupertLowe10 This is true. The presence of a hardshoukder is the only possible way to 100% remove hazard and all types. Therefore I propose reducing the a47 to 1 lane each way and a permanent closure of lane 1. It's the only safe option. Predicted deaths: zero. It's a yes from me

[Captain Carriageway @Cpt_Carraigeway]

@abpclub So what you're telling me that aptr routes are more dangerous than conventional motorways? Interesting. I heard that were the safest of all safe and beyond safe as they were safe. Safe.

[Captain Carriageway @Cpt_Carraigeway]

@ActonObserved @NorthantsPolice Lol. Alright. Ok. Actually. I do and you've doubled down. I will take back the terminology and replace with "deploy warning triangle by appropriate means". Still doesn't negate the fact you'd still be wrong. However it was placed on a motorway. https://t.co/N5HjR95Trt

[Captain Carriageway @Cpt_Carraigeway]

@hines_stephen @ABBailey Yes. Those ones. I don't hear out cry for a retrofit to those roads. Odd.

[Captain Carriageway @Cpt_Carraigeway]

@IanM1871 @NorthantsPolice All 70mph roads? Or just ones with a specific name?

[Captain Carriageway @Cpt_Carraigeway]

@ABBailey @hines_stephen @NorthantsPolice How about if it was on a run of the mill dual carriageway. Ya know. 70mph no signals. No shoulder. No patrols. Those ones

[Captain Carriageway @Cpt_Carraigeway]

@ActonObserved @NorthantsPolice Well. Tell me you're misinformed without telling me you're misinformed. It's on a motorway mate. The one road its specifically prohibited to throw a triangle out.

[Captain Carriageway @Cpt_Carraigeway]

@HoddellMelvyn @NorthantsPolice Out of interest how much fault do you attribute to the driver of the lorry and how much to the tarmac? A percentage split would be interesting

[Captain Carriageway @Cpt_Carraigeway]

Hardshoulder = safe. https://t.co/stOIx3qaHE

[Captain Carriageway @Cpt_Carraigeway]

Who on earth signed off on 70mph roads with no hardshoulder. Absolute crazy people. #bbcpanorama

[Captain Carriageway @Cpt_Carraigeway]

@molly23757434 @dutchy280 @dharford79 Out of interest. What type of roads do you use to get to said motorway?

[Captain Carriageway @Cpt_Carraigeway]

@citytransportin @RichardWellings Just smart motorways or all roads that carry vast amounts of traffic with no shoulder? Cars don't only breakdown on motorways now do they?

[Captain Carriageway @Cpt_Carraigeway]

@Cllr_Barnard @GBNEWS In the same trail of thought. Why haven't councils for not installing hard shoulders on all roads, or why haven't vehicle manufacturers been prosecuted for the same as they were also present at the time of the accident. Unrelated. But how about firearms manufacturers too?

[Captain Carriageway @Cpt_Carraigeway]

@ToWhomItMaySL9 @NationalHways Where do I find said charter please? Is like to sift through it

[Captain Carriageway @Cpt_Carraigeway]

@MattRodda Psst. Matt. They already have. But you knew that right?

[Captain Carriageway @Cpt_Carraigeway]

@FatherRory @standingtraffic @Kenny_Roo2023 @Davethe25219352 Ha! Read again. I make no reference to what you were trying to say. Just that it and you are illiterate. Nevermind whatever the fuck 'released to it' means.
