A1 (M) from Doncaster


Recommended Posts

It clearly states on the signs - all non motorway traffic to exit at the appropriate junction plus the signs are blue rather than green - so pretty straight forward really.

 

They just wanted clarification that's all.

I recently went on the A1 (M) just after Marr and got off a few junctions at the top end of Doncaster.

I was on a motorcycle displaying L plates and got pulled by road traffic officers. They cautioned me and told me not to do it again etc etc.

 

BUT

 

I thought any vehicle can use a dual carriageway with 2 lanes and the A1 (M) upto the bit I got off at has 2 lanes THEN changes to the motorway.

 

This is only the same as the A6 and A61 and A38, A677 etc.

 

Who is in the wrong? Me or the "officer"?

 

Others have also thought the same as me,

 

Thanks!

If you have L plates you can't drive on "blue" roads; that means road marked M and A(M). You are wrong and policeman was right to caution you. You should restrict yourself to green roads and below.

 

As an example, stretches of the A2 have five lanes both sides, you can drive on that section with L plates. It's not the lane count that matters, at all, I don't know what highway code you've been reading from but your method is flawed, very much so!
