Watch the driver of the Rover
Isn't it a big-ish Merc?

I'm pretty sure it's a Rover.

Tend to stick to the 2 lane bit for the same reasons as before - in these days of average speed cameras I've found that there's very little gain in using the single lane.
|
the skid marks in the ad have been added in post production - its hardly braking!
|
I realise that it's a setup - just as with all the inter-programme links that eventually feature a figure 4...:-)
|
I thought it was a mercedes. It's obviously a setup - the car almost certainly has ABS and wouldn't lock up like that.
Most contra-flows have speed cameras, so I would tend to sit in the inside lane; as long as I'm not hemmed in by trucks - then I'd go into lane 2. I haven't been through the contra-flow / lane3 lane for some time.
On the bike, I'd take the two lane / left hand lanes as I'd have more chance to filter - should the need arise (I wouldn't filter if the traffic was moving at anything like 50).
I'm most amused by the general rush for lane 3 as people see the NSL sign in the distance

Not conclusive, but I still think it's a Merc. It's well done though - I'd never thought it was faked before.
|
My apologies - seen it tonight at 5pm on the main TV and it does appear to be a Merc judging by the rear lights.
|
|
Certainly a Merc.. either a C class W203, or IMO more likely S class W220... looking at the rear lights, my moneys on the W220....
|
2-lane bit. Much safer for head-on collisions. Though in the days when speed limit was 40mph not 50, worried me much less.
Also less likely to be completely stuck in event of breakdown.
|
It's a pre-facelift Merc W203 saloon in, I believe cubanite silver. But why the skid marks - they all have ABS as standard? (Answer - it's a made-up bit of film. The junction signage gives it away).
Back to the thread. Lane 1 or 2 for me, never 3.
|
I take the wrong lane in a contraflow, it's more fun:)))
But seriously, I stay on the main bit on the 'correct' carriageway if possible.
