Here's a 25 mile stretch more...of it, speeded up to about 350mph. In all that way, there were only 8 other cars (and four of them were British registered), one truck and one lorry. The speed limit is 130kph (81mph) but it was hard to keep below the mid eighties, and the silver car that passed me towards the end was doing well over 100. Sorry but this is one I just had to speed up.

From Midland Road, down Old Market, around the roundabout, into Bond Street, past the new 500 million pound Cabot Circus shopping mall, under more...construction, and up Stokes Croft. Under the railway bridge near Zetland Road, up Cranbrook Road with its heavily pollarded trees, right into Clare Avenue, left into Kings Drive, through the mini roundabout and up to the junction with Kellaway Avenue.

This stretch of the M5 was built onto the side of the Gordano Valley. I-Spy the south-westbound lanes, getting higher and more...higher until they're some forty feet above us. As we drive uphill, there's an extra, fourth lane on the far right, to let faster traffic get past the slower traffic that's on the left. I-Spy where this lane comes to an end. It's clearly and repeatedly signed, but you'll see skid marks where the blind, the careless and the unwary have been caught out. I-Spy how well everyone drives and how no-one gets blocked. Slower traffic goes at around 60mph on the left; traffic at the legal maximum of 70mph in the middle lane; and in the outside lane traffic often goes at eighty-ninety. I-Spy a broken-down car on the hard shoulder, on the far left. I-Spy a lorry-load of hay, going the other way. If you're not familiar with British motorways - as we come down the hill towards Avonmouth, I-Spy the signs for the junction one mile ahead, then again at half a mile. And on the left, I-Spy the helpful "\\\", "\\", and "\" countdown markers: 300, then 200, then 100 yards before the exit. Ten points for each thing you spot. But then, who's counting? And finally, you're right, it's Fats again on the soundtrack. less Tags: roadgeek m5 motorway freeway dashcam driving fats domino england uk britain august ispy gordano valley avonmouth traffic points truck trucks lorry Category: Auto & Vehicles Views: 86 Comments: 2 Added: Sep 1, 07 By: david87 | |  |  | | Driving across the old Severn Bridge freeway) 03:38Hey, why has this come out so over-exposed? What have LiveVideo done to it? And when are they going to display wide screen properly? TV and camcorders are wide-screen, so why not LiveVideo? This is a drive more...early on a Sunday morning across the old Severn motorway Bridge. I believe it was opened in about 1970 and there are continuing maintenance problems with it. Apparently some of the thousands of steel supporting cables have snapped, due to a rust problem. Work is ongoing, as it has been for many years. The recent opening of the new bridge a few miles further west has taken away a lot of traffic from this wonderful old structure. Actually, it's two bridges, one after the other. Look out for the single supporting tower (pole? mast? pylon?) of the Wye river bridge, immediately after the main suspension bridge. And see the dual language English/Welsh road signs on the other side! less Tags: roadgeek severn bridge motorway freeway drive driving dashcam england wales uk duane eddy fats domino Category: Auto & Vehicles Views: 73 Comments: 0 Added: Aug 29, 07 By: david87 | |  |  | | Just cruising down the M5 freeway in England with Elvis 05:05This is just few stretches of the M5 motorway, driving east through Devon and Somerset on a sunny afternoon in August. The speed limit on UK motorways is 70mph. The traffic in the inside (left hand) lane more...was doing sixty. I won't say what speeds I was doing but anything that passed me was doing well over eighty, some of them over ninety. I was surprised at the speed of that hi-top white van! Look out for the return of those chevrons towards the end. They're part of a plan by the Department of Transport to encourage drivers to keep their distance. (The sign says 'Keep apart two chevrons'.) less Tags: roadgeek elvis presley m5 motorway devon somerset england uk britain dashcam drive driving chevrons speed august Category: Travel & Places Views: 69 Comments: 1 Added: Aug 20, 07 By: david87 | |  |
