Up until the late ’60s, the route through Sopley was the main A338; it’s now a B road.
Not sure why drivers are finding this so difficult – it’s a 30 mph road through the village – perhaps 20 mph would be easier for them?

Rule change could allow
Rule change could allow school run mums and dads to use bus lanes
Experts [???] say it would speed up commute times and reduce congestion for everyone
Tim Alcock from LeaseCar.uk said: “Parents and carers up and down the UK can really relate to the frustration of the school run, with your kids arguing in the back telling you you’ve forgotten their PE kit or lunchbox. “It’s easy to get frustrated and getting stuck in traffic knowing they’ll be late to school isn’t helping anyone.
“Our campaign to allow school runners to drive in bus lanes will not only help to ease congestion on other road users getting to work during rush hour, but also stop so many children from consistently being late to school and missing education simply because of the traffic.
Mr Alcock, fuck off, right over there, fuck off as far you can go and when you get there, fuck off some more.

Are you talking ridden/owned
Are you talking ridden/owned/pet ponies or ponies that are common-ed, to use the New Forest term? If you ride the NF, you may encounter commoned ponies, donkeys, cows on the road and sheep and pigs who usually stick to the edges – sheep usually want to eat the verge.
All are pretty placid around bikes IME but I call out repeatedly “hello ponies!” as I weave or pass, just so there are no misunderstandings.
whether you’re riding or driving, be especially aware of ponies grouped on both sides of the road – one lot they may suddenly decide to join the other and they can move faster than you can react.

She told the A&T: “I literally spend every day worrying about when the next crash will be. It is such a horrible feeling.
“When the last one happened I was actually looking out of my kitchen window when I saw this car coming straight at the house.

If you are going to go to the expense of running Land Rover V8 in – checks notes – Oxfordshire, at least try to be happy about the experience.

I think we have a lot in common with equestrians – like our lives on country roads are made difficult and dangerous by drivers being the main one. Despite the lack of any threat from me ( none in relative terms) I have found one or two to a bit eggy. Call out is key, near enough to be heard, but not when there’s no time to act. Like them we are misunderstood – posh or something holding up owners of £20,000 vans, etc.

Up until last year the seafront has remained largely unchanged.
apart from when the arches were installed at the pier end of The Beach when the road was widened in the 1990s.
Previous road widening had left unsightly concrete pillars holding up the road and the arches were a huge improvement.
