But how many drivers would have driven over it at 10mph and how many would have worked on the theory that because they couldn't 'see' it they would just carry on?

How many would have thought they were capable of doing 30/40mph?

How many motorbikes would have safely negotiated it?

How often do you want the local authorities pursued for negligence?

If driving over it had caused an accident then sure as eggs are eggs, some smart ass lawyer would have been pursuing a compensation case...that's where we've got to these days.

The hard shoulder is there for one purpose only.....for emergencies.

Other peoples emergencies, and if you honestly think your need is greater then so be it....that's where we've got to these days.
