Excellent post ... the only problem I can foresee is that it could lead to a hardening of the middle-lane owner's club's resolve -- if the minimum limit is 55 in the second lane that's exactly what they will do.

Of course, given that an indicated 55 is most likely only 50 in reality, it would be amusing to see them being pulled and given points for inappropriate speed Finally, a concrete charge to throw at these cretins

Actually, I withdraw my objection -- good all round.

And there is no innapropriate speed, (provided you are below the speed limit),

Yes, lack of speed is equally dangerous as an excess of it, unless we all do 20mph

optimus, you really don't get this do you? All that is far too sensible to ever be considered!

Ah but there would be if there was a minimum speed limit in the manner Lum suggests.

Nah the tractor drivers are sound, we all know they're limited and most of them around where I live are very good at letting people pass, pulling into lay-bys, waving people on when they can see it's safe etc.

And they don't tend to go on motorways

A completely nonsense answer for Jase ....
Why does a tractor need to be on the rd at all? there are enough fields for them to inhabit,without venturing onto the rd.(same goes for horses)
Old people in their Nissan bluebirds/rover 200/triumph acclaim,wearing a pork pie hat,cannot see over dashboard, or indeed anyone driving under the influence of Clement Atlee (younger veiwers,look him up) should be banned, end of.
