I haven't tried the new slalom version of Wightman but the old layout just used to be a constant game of chicken as drivers decided whether, after overtaking you with not enough space before the traffic island, to:
a) slow down
b) crash into the island
c) go on the wrong side of the road
d) pull in on you

Great fun. I can be kissing the bumper of the car in front and people will still want to try overtaking.

Indeed - I had 8 years of commuting from The Avenue and back every day, don't miss that!

One thing that really bothers me now is the number of
driversselfish fuckers who still park/wait half on, half off the pavement, straddling the double yellow lines, forcing drivers into the path of oncoming traffic.Had one such sweetheart open his door on me, fortunately not enough to make contact but in that split second I wasn't to know that. I was considering roadsafeing him but the footage I have doesn't show the number-plate clearly enough to read.

Hmm, takes all sorts I guess - I always preferred the less traffic light infested, hillier workout of Wightman!
