Derek Flint Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 It has been worse than that in fairness. its The foreseeability of it all that puts IOMG on. Sticky wicket; we make it one way, leave it derestricted, have four cop cars at the Hairpin, one at least at the Bungalow and one at Brandywell. Then we have an SOP as to how it is shut down if something needs investigating because it is too dangerous to do so whilst the traffic continues to run. That doesn’t really compute, does it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you at least try and make sense rather than just spitting excessive words, it's not just teachers time your wasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn’t really compute, does it even with a speed limit the nutters that crash now would crash then, you could just add speeding to the list of charges and give plod an excuse for an exciting bike chase over the mountain. the one way is more about the safety/protection of what used to be for the most part innocent travellers heading north. i wonder if all the cones have added to the danger as there is less road to go 'fast' on so people push harder to get the most out of what wide bits of road are left to them. i like the nurburgring concept for the mountain but the numbers would be overwhelming.
