From: allantracy on 19 Jun 2010 14:53 Round my way, the white lines only go in when it becomes necessary to spell out to f**king idiots what they should already know. To spell out the bleeding obvious to those that shouldnt even be allowed on the road on account of them having thrown away their highway code the very first next day after passing their test. Alternatively, the white lines also serve to point out to all prototype Frenchmen out there that, yes, the rules do really apply to them and not just to everyone else.
