    Why does that matter, he's still right!

    The op said dual carriageway, so it would have had a divider.

    It's amazing how many people don't know the speed limit on a DC.
    Literally every morning I end up behind some pillock doing 70mph, who practically slams on the anchors for a speed camera!!!

    So your comment was aimed at who?

    You meant 22 years, right?

    Yes of course - thanks for pointing out my mathematical 'faux pas'.

    Don't think so....

    You posted "do you drive?" after quoting...
    If there's no physical divider then it's not a dual carriageway.

    Why does it matter if he drives or not?

    More people than you'd think, don't know the difference.

    even those with more than a cat B licence [ I know, I sit alongside them very working day!]...

    Some even think that a single carriageway road, with 3 or more lanes, is a dual carriageway.

    Obviously, having to find out these things is an awful lot of hard work, and don't they have better things to do with their lives?

    On another note, I often find the best places to overtake those who just aren't travelling quite as fast as I want to, are at speed cameras.

    Although I also note that, on dual carriageways with [fixed] camera sites, if you start to overtake when the others slow for the camera, once past, they speed up again, oblivious of the fact they are now 'racing' you?

    [just something else to watch for these days?}
    No, I don't think all other drivers are idiots......but some are determined to change my mind.......

    I didn't quote interstella.

    Go sleep off the pop.

    Only if there is a physical divider of some description between opposing lanes, if not then it's 60.

    Pretty much the same whoever you quoted ;)

    Question still applies :p

    ETA: Maybe you thought they were wrong?
