For the sake of 1.6km, it's really not worth the risk is it surely?

One thing you haven't touched on is a neighbour who calls the Police and reports you, seems to be relatively common.

Also, it's all great you driving to the letter and avoiding police, but what if some other tool hits your car? You can't avoid that..

Well my intention isn't to drive where I suspect there is a good chance of getting caught. It's just so I can get to the damn bus stop. That is all, which is that little 1.6km bit. Now sometimes I'll have the time to walk that, and other times I wont. I defiantly wont take the car cruising. If they were going to setup an RBT it would be way further down the road where people get off the highway and cross the bridge to get to the train station. I know the best solution is to never drive, but I can see that life will feel a lot easier if I can get to that bus stop in speedy fashion, dry and clean.

I need a month long holiday somewhere where I don't need a car. lol.

Which part of "banned from driving" isn't clear?

How was last night's date Lenny? You don't seem to have updated us.

And remember boys and girls, spooning leads to forking

the more you know....

I'm not too sure of the problem here, a 1.6km walk should take 15 mins tops.... I walk 1.3miles (2.1km) to the station each day (according to googlemaps) and the same again back.... it takes just over 20 minutes and I don't walk particularly fast.

Plus he's at the gym 5 times a week [rolleyes]

We have to remember people only exercise in the gym now. Exercise in the real world isn't allowed.

I never said I would never walk it or ride it, infact today I bought a bike lock in preperation so I can ride around the local area. When I was living in the city a couple of months ago my walk to work was 2.2km...

Now how long does it take to get to your place of work spoon?

So far it's looking like this....

15 walk + 5 waiting time = 20.
bus travel time plus waiting for train 15 + 5 = 20.
Train travel 40 + 5 walk to work = 45.

Total 85 minutes to get to work.

Now typically I catch a 7:20pm train home so in reverse looks like I'll get home 8:35pm.

Long day. [yawn]

It actually takes me about the same length of time,

20mins to walk to station + 5mins safety time so I don't miss it = 25
35mins on underground
0-5mins at station to change to another train (sometimes I'm lucky and it's already there)
10mins on underground again
5mins walk from station

So 80mins for me, although given that I take the tube you can increase all the underground times by 50% due to delays depending on if the day has a "Y" in it or not [rolleyes]

Although I could catch a bus from right outside my flat and cut the 20 min walk down to 5 mins (which I do if its raining hard) but I realised I actually do no exercise at all so I figured 40mins walking a day is better than nothing.

But anyways while it's annoying, if you actually look at it, when coming home it's only the walking part that's extra so your going to be getting in at 8:35pm instead of 8:20pm... are you really going to miss those 15 mins?
