SIR: Since the opening of the sliproad at Middlebrook roundabout off the M61 Northbound. I am disgusted by the number of male drivers who do not know the Highway Code.

Left hand lane is for Westhoughton only, middle for Chorley or straight on and right for round to the Reebok etc.

These drivers are too lazy to stop at the top, instead carry on as if going left, then suddenly without indication (those orange lights that flash on the cars) decide they are going to Chorley.

There has already been a minor bump (not my car, but almost).

These male drivers criticise women driver but at least we know how to use a road.

Have you passed a driving test?
