I don't like getting stuck behind farm tractors, mobile cranes and a lot more but that is life. HE seems to think his rights should over ride ours but they do not. A sign of someone too big for his boots to me.

The caravan hater was just another rentagob who is used to stir up a bit of controversy to get people talking and watching tv.
It's obviously worked because we're discussing his silly ill informed viewpoint here.
Didn't the ministry of transport try to impose motorway lane restrictions on caravans for a trial period at one time to 'ease congestion'?
It was later found that caravans on motorways don't create congestion.
The trouble with tv discussions about caravans is that they usually mean statics or motorhomes, and only very rarely are normal state of the art touring caravans shown.

Wasn't that on the M5 just south of Bristol? Created more problems that it resolved as HGVs and caravans were all stuck in the same lane and behind the slowest HGV.
I was on my way too Cornwall, and got caught in that trial. Lorries, any trailers, caravans in inside lane, could not use the outside lanes, can't remember if that included busses.. Out side lanes jammed, inside lanes undertaking all the time. In fact found myself moaning at cars that were moving inside so they could move. It was bedlam.
But thats modern overcrowded Britain. If they all didnt have caravans they would still be piling into Cornwall heading for Maggies BB and any field you can pitch a tent on.
That's right, but the experiment was suppose to relieve congestion. just bought it forward a few years,
This plonker makes a business out of causing arguments and getting the public to ring up premium rate numbers to discuss things he says. He does it all the time on TalkSport.
Some of the most ridiculous statements he makes then sits back laughing and counting his bonus's when he sees all the lights flashing on the switchboard from irate listeners who want to debate a pointless argument using premium rate telephone numbers or text services.
Anything this plonker says has to be taken with a pinch of salt.
