If this does happen then it will certainly cause more congestion imo. Just look at the A14 with all the average cameras, you can rarely get to 70 anyway now and its always congested to shit becuase you get idots braking all the time and slow down to 60 when they see one for some bloody reason.

Maria, be careful with insurance too if you borrow a bike, a car policy with "drive other vehicles" invariabley doesnt include motorbikes, even on my trade policy its a paid extra to include bikes as well.
