    And you don't think that's a perfectly good reason to drive with due care.

    With good visibility and space to overtake safely.

    So if there is good visibility and plenty of room for you to overtake why are you complaining about them :D

    I don't mind people driving slowly if they want to. I object to the ones that drive slowly then accelerate while I'm overtaking them.
  • People who drive 45mph on NSL country roads and continue at that speed through the 30mph villages.

    People who drive 30mph on a 30mph road (which is fine) but continue doing 30mph when a stretch changes to 40mph... are they blind or just ignorant of other road users who are actually trying to get somewhere?

    People who use "telepathy" instead of indicators when turning.

    Have they just not realised there's simply no such thing and somewhere their village is worrying where their idiot is, and why are they're missing a car?

    Why do these same people accelerate like they are in a drag race as soon as an overtaking section is in view, only to slow to a crawl again as soon as the opportunity to pass is gone?

    The A82 around Loch Lomond has been like that for me...

    I drove on unfamilar bendy roads the other day.

    Truck in front, me, a biker.

    When i saw what was straight for a little bit i took my foot off to allow biker to overtake me, they did. So then it was truck, biker and me for a while. Then the biker overtook the truck.

    Well there is the biggest problem with slow drivers, not the fact they're driving slow, but the fact that the car directly behind them won't overtake, yet maintains a gap too small to pull in to.
