If you were the TM, what laws and rules would you change ?
Here’s mine to get it started ; To wear sunglasses in sunny driving conditions, in Italy , they fine drivers for wearing them in road tunnels, next time the sun is out, count how many are blinded by the sun .
All drivers to experience all types of vehicles when taking a car test, from motorbikes to lorries on private land, an airfield or race track .
Cars and vans to have a tacho system to monitor too many hours driving and not enough breaks .
All vehicles to have on board bretherlysers, it won’t start if over the limit, and your sober mate can’t start it .
More rest areas on motorways, on the continent, they are free to park, and have toilets, dog walking areas, in the UK, the distance to the next Msa is too far if you are nodding off at the wheel.
Drivers set menus at cafes, and truckstops, you get a starter, mains, pudding and a drink for one price , in Europe, drivers are waited on by uniformed staff.
The tables have white linen, an array of cutlery, lorries can park in hotel parking areas, and not made to feel like the drivers have a contagious disease.
Look at Little Chef who started no lorries welcome here signs .
I’d enforce the Delhi approach - private cars banned from city and town centres between 0600-1900 on alternate days (odd numbered cars on odd days and vice versa).
£200 fine for every bulb used incorrectly - driving with one sidelight on? That’ll be £600 please, for the missing sidelight and the two headlights. Rear foglights on in the rain? £400 for the rears and another £400 for the fronts.

Little Chefs had these signs? The car park the size of a bachelor’s tea towel plus the 6 foot high red height barriers weren’t a good clue to some persistent ones then.
Wish Id been a fly on the wall on that occasion:-
“I bloody well will get this Scania in this poxy car park for 15 quid egg and beans if it ■■■■ well kills me. Just see if I don’t, you red swine pigs…”
"…ugh, "
“…■■■■ it!”
[shrieking metal]
“sod - you - ugh- you - Himmler - bar - stewards, Ahhhh!” [screaming - un pronounceable]
In the Middle East, they chop off hands and arms for stealing.
For car drivers that do not indicate at roundabouts, one finger off, do it ten times, you get called Stumpy Numpty.
Idiots that place sat navs in front of their face on the windscreen and don’t know how to set it to night mode at night.
For that you get to spend a day with Carryfast.
The right for 44 ton, fully laden wagons to Arse End stupid little cars that cut in at the last minute for a slip road.
Like the Poxy Little MG did to me on the A303/A34 junction yesterday. Grrrrrrr !
Made me VERY Angry, he got the Full Beam & Horn, the little #*_# !
£2,000,000 for the trouble
