So, to sum up, you obey the HC only so far as it suits you?


Your trolling is getting tiresome.


Not trolling. Unless, of course, you have redefined "trolling" to mean
"Saying something Roland disagrees with".


Maybe you also look for interpretations to suit you.... How about HC6
"Pedestrians MUST NOT walk on a motorway except in an emergency"..... I
suppose you would define wanting a pee as an emergengy, so would stop your
car, walk a few yards along and nip over the barrier and behind a hedge?


That's a "MUST NOT" you dimwit.

Not an insult competition. Merely counting up the number of times you are
demonstrating phuckwittedness.


Not nearly as much as you are demonstrating a severe lack of comprehension
skills.

I think that YOU have demonstrated the lack of comprehension skills. I KNOW
(and I rather suspect you do, too) that the MUST NOT is qualified by the
concept of "except in an emergency" - and it is THAT qualified requirement
that I was (and still am, since you have declined to answer it) questioning
on how loosely you interpret "emergency" if it can be defined to suit YOU.

I don't mind debating, but only about the words I put in my mouth, not the
ones you do.


Pity you don't think about them before you post them, then.

Oh, I see. The goalposts are moving a bit fast for me this time of the
morning. If you want to start a debate about "what is an emergency", and
my interpretation of that (rather than the "Do Not" paragraphs of the
HC, which is what I was taking about) then go ahead.

My own definition is "car has broken down/struck an object in the road
etc, or the road has become impassable; (so as to reach an emergency
phone). And for completeness - if instructed by emergency services".
Even then, I'd be very wary of walking *along* a motorway, rather than
away from it.
