    I have become rather annoyed with car drivers of late. I suppose that goes with living on the outskirts of London and only driving myself once or twice a week (I walk to work, and most other places at that). In light of this I thought I would put together a new Suburban Highway Code for how to survive on those wild roads.


    Minimum speed limit



    The minimum speed in a built-up area is 30mph. For Widmore Road and Masons Hill, this is increased to 50mph.

    Speed camera


    Slow down to 30mph for speed camera before revving off at 50mph when past its range.

    Double yellow lines


    Once the traffic warden has been past, you should park on double-yellow lines or other restricted spaces.

    No vehicles



    Obey all traffic restrictions. Except when the traffic is a bit busy in town but the bus lanes are empty.


    Indicators     Pedestrian right of way



    Refrain from using your indicators at all times. Especially avoid letting pedestrians know where you're going.

    Traffic lights



    Traffic lights are for show. If they're red, just go straight through.

    I had trouble finding signs for no mobile phone hands-free kits permitted and bus drivers must ignore the entire Highway Code.

    'Thanks Sherlock' footnote: THIS IS A JOKE!
