    and people (a lot of people) over here seem to think that you have to 'stick' to the speed limit ... no! , that limit on the sign on the road is just that, a limit you (should) drive not over that limit, your not breaking the law if you choose to drive under that limit for whatever matter that be... it could be weather/road conditions call for it, the driver feels it is in their own interests and others to adjust their speed to under that limit, they have seen and incident ahead that requires them to slow down and drive under the limit etc...

    Why should people who tailgate or try to make the car in front go faster (by intimidation or by any other means) think they have the authority and the experience to tell other road users how to drive and at what speed? - the answer is they dont!

    Should also make a thread about all the c*nts driving while daydreaming,specially mornings,there can be no cars at all heading towards some direction yet some 70y old farmer is pushing 60km/h while observing nature,pure fckers.same story if a bit rain falls out everyones reacting like its snow storm. Never had issues with people tailgaiting,if ive seen someone do that id find spot on hard shoulder and indicate them to pass me when opportunity arises. Nothing is worse then weekend and some C&nt driving well bellow limit,creating mile long traffic behind.

    Threads like these make me pity poor truck drivers. Imagine being stuck behind some schmuck doing 40 in a 50 zone with no way of overtaking.

    tough! - thats life innit, we all have to share the road, - im not mad keen sharing the road with lorries either but we cant all have what we want can we, - they should start going back to the old ways of transporting goods by rail, plane and canal and leave the roads to light traffic!
