I remember in the early days of the channel tunnel you had to park your front wheel of the bike into a giant clamp type of thing. But there were only a couple of these on the train, it was a real struggle to get off it on my CBR 1000 loaded up with luggage etc. the modern way is much easier.

Actually double-deckers are usually shorter than single-deckers and thus more manoeuvrable. I imagine the bus is only going that way because it is the only option. What would be the alternative to this? Every student in their own car or a taxi? Even with four to a car or taxi it still means more of a traffic jam. It certainly isn't any safer.

Some lanes around my way are getting like that. The problem around here is massive agricultural vehicles, which have grown in size far beyond what the old lanes were built for, plus land use has changed from grazing pasture to intensive 'industrially' managed grassland with the cattle living in sheds. The farming sector is doing a huge amount of damage to the envornment and to the road infrastructure, but its continually allowed to get away with it. Pull all their subsidies say I and put the money into repairing the damage. The scale of the problem, and the cost of rebuilding all these roads to cope with the reality of modern traffic, dwarfs what the local highway authorities are resourced for.

VED brings in £7.4bn, roughly 8 times less than the figure you gave, and maintaining roads costs £11.5bn, but that is a little misleading since ALL the money for local lanes like this comes out of council tax, not out of any kind of vehicle charges - that only covers national roads, motorways and major routes.

I'm in a remote part of the NW Highlands and we have some shocking roads, but I have to agree with you. I've never seen a road in that state before. At least not one that's still in use. What surprises me in the video is that the bus drivers haven't refused to drive on it. If the kids can't get to school, surely the council will be put under so much pressure they'll have to fix it. Or maybe they'll just shut another school.

All wrong! From my experiences in a car, ALWAYS use a lane with the T on the display, especially if you're following a Brit or it's almost guaranteed that you'll end up waiting for then. For a bike you're told to use the non-height restricted lane on the right otherwise you'll be charged the same as a car (bikes are supposed to be cheaper) and stay in the centre of the lane. I haven't tried it myself on a bike yet but plan to in the next few months.

Let me how you find it on a motorcycle - I think you may find it's not as straight forward as you think. Good luck.
