Nope, 'cos all hills that are steep up, are also steep down..

I'll spoil the fun since I know you'll never actually take me up on this challenge. There's a hill you have to go down first that's almost as steep and would likely prove just as impossible for a 1 cylinder Fiesta going in reverse (as there is nowhere to turn around)

Worst thing that ever happened to me on that lane is finding a fallen tree at the top, and as I'm reversing back down a foreign HGV comes around the corner because his satnav told him this was the quickest way. I was stuck for 2 hours while this idiot tried to get out. I chose not to tell him about the alternate route (the left fork brings you out at the same place, but is slightly longer) and suggested that he head back towards the M4 and take a main road.

I wasn't asking you. I never said I couldn't do it, just not very well in my car and so chose not to, as most people would. Don't try and be the "good guy" in all of this. I was going 35 in a 30, I'm sure you've done worse.

I'm sure we all have, just never heard of it being the cars fault for not being able to go slowly enough. It'll still go up at 30mph in second, then when it won't anymore, you change into first, and carry on at 10mph. That's how I do it, and it's not illegal.

I have to say that that GEEGEE8 did extremely well not to rise to the obviously antagonistic attitude of the law.
Well done...............!!!

Do you never go over 30 in a 30 can I ask?

And do you not get annoyed when cars go 10mph along 30mph roads?

Far too obvious for Lokolo.

The 30 mph is an upper limit, not a target speed.
