Waking up time
I keep seeing information boards on motorways saying: ‘Think Bike!’ or even ‘Think once, think twice, think bike’. Do you know what it means or what we are supposed to do? The last 2 occasions the boards have signed trouble ahead with a speed limit; we have found absolutely nothing until the next sign says 'End'. This is very annoying to say the least. I wonder who is in charge of these signs? Better to switch them off than publish incorrect or unintelligible messages.

It means stay awake and aware and constantly look in your mirrors and all around you for motorbikes or anything else that might overtake you. Be particularly vigilant when pulling out of a side road into a main road.
