    You need to try to express yourself more clearly in future, otherwise it appears you are posting twaddle.:D


    It made sense to me the 1st time as I read it in the spirit of the thread.

    Everyday I have to follow people doing 40mph in 60 zones then they come to a 30 zone and keep going at 40mph through them aswell.

    Whats wrong with these people?

    If they are going 40 in a 60 to try to drive safer then I could understand it sort of, as annoying as is it, but when they then go through a 30 zone at them same speed safty is obviously not the reason.

    Thing is if they were on there driving test they would fail, its unsafe driving as it then causes people to make silly/risky overtaking manouvers to get past them. Going so slow is just as dagerous as going to fast in my opinion yet the police never do anything about it.

    Rant over, sorry.

    This day and age has no place for patience to be honest

    Most pensioner drivers still drive like its 1944 !!!!!!

    If you don't want to drive to the limit when it's perfectly safe to do so, then move over and let people pass who do

    These folks also insist that indicators should be used all the time, even at 3am on an empty road with not a human being within 15 miles and that doing so is a good "habit".

    How do you know this happens then?

    My friend and I call them average speed drivers, they do 40-45mph everywhere.
    I think it's laziness, they just go into auto pilot mode. They're simply not paying attention.

    These folks also insist that indicators should be used all the time, even at 3am on an empty road with not a human being within 15 miles and that doing so is a good "habit".
    How can you have seen this use of indicators on an empty road with not a human being within 15 miles - are you long sighted?:rotfl:

    They can't afford it now.

    I am one of the people you all (y'all) hate..... I drive an a road about a mile, then the A1 for 2 miles and then an a road for 1/4 mile. This is my trip to work... I do 50 on the a road then 60-65 max on tha a1. Several reasons, fuel economy, engine not getting properly warm, no need..... Sorry if I have offended but that's the way it is for me.
