slow drivers
Comments

:beer:Are HGVs permitted on this route? Are they more or less common on the road than Mrs Miggins. What do you feel about them doing 40mph on a busy NSL?
Why are you banging on about HGV's?
Nobody is talking about HGV's! If any vehicle is driving legally then what's the problem?
Annoying? Probably.
Anything more than that? No.
In any case, if you want a comparison, then a HGV travelling at 20 miles per hour in a 60 for no reason whatsoever could be inconsiderate anyway!0 -
too fast,or over the speed limit or both?
I'm not sure. New-owner just said 'to slow', so i suppose i mean 'to fast'
But then it comes down to, who decides what is to slow and what is to fast. We need an expert.
I know we can go and ask the Op he knows best.Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

and the question still is,in who's opinion?
BTW,you do not the point of caps?
If so then its completely unnecessary and I look forward to your answer sans caps
In the opinion of the driver doing 45 in a 60 limit, who else would know the reason why?
...... and the point of caps was so people understood I was referring to when the driver in question knew it was safe to do so.0 -
Thanks for the link new-owner but that only talks about the slow drivers it doesn't answer my question. I was asking if you knew was it more than 143 or less of fast drivers that were the cause of accidents.Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

Mustn't let the truth get in the way of your attempt to become the forum laughing stock.Did you do this in your role as just a seemingly mad person or are you really trying to allude you are a traffic cop?
Considering some of the nonsense you have previously posted.
As in, drivers can drive as slow as they like if that is the limit of their skill & ability!
I kid members not!
Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.0 -

You said it pal!
Quite a ridiculous thing to say, esp from a 'traffic cop!':rotfl:0 -
Perhaps you might explain why you think it's ridiculous, because it looks just fine.Originally Posted by brat

Perhaps you might also offer some explanation as to why you think this comment means the same as the palpable nonsense that is your brain's misinterpretation of my comments. If you're struggling to understand, then let me know, I'm a patient chap. We can work through it slowly for you.
But if you just enjoy being antagonistic, trot on. Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.0 -

Because it is.
The law sees every driver who has passed the UK driving test to have at least attained a minimum competence that is required to pass that test.
That is the basic level of ability & skill that is required by law.
Not on what their own ability & skill is personal to them, which you clearly stated otherwise they would never have passed.
No one is ever taught to drive slowly simply for the reason they are entitled to do so, as you also stated. That is untrue.
If a driver was to plead they were driving at 40mph in a 60 zone, because they felt they were entitled to do so and that it was at the max of their driving ability & skill in doing so then they would get convicted, and you know it!
That is the nonsense you have posted.
Don't try it on with me, traffic cop!!!:rotfl:0 -
They run the risk in your opinion,and you have stated thats worth nothing
its interesting you feel the busier the road,the faster they should go
whats the time difference in covering 10 miles at 60mph and 45 mph?
its a nice easy one with a figure of 10
So what for goodness sake?
What if some ignorant idiot was holding up an ambulance? And a few minutes was the diff between life or death?
Still doesn't matter does it not?
Nobody is ever taught to drive at 45mph in a 60mph zone for no good reason.
Indeed, it could result in an instant failure on a test.
So why do you say it's fine?
Quite simply, post up official directives that this is what one should do!0
