Glad to see you wont mind having the deaths of innocent people coming the other way on your conscience then, what with playing judge, jury and executioner being part of your cv...
And presumably you wont mind losing your legs and possibly the lives of your passengers when you attempt a similar manouvre yourself, only to have someone else do to you what you do to others.
*narrows eyes and raises eyebrow*
Causing an accident just to prove that you are in the right is stupid, plain and simple. You should just be happy to know that youre the one who can drive and let them get on with their foolish little lives, safe in the knowledge that you are superior to them. Karma catches up with people in the end anyway, so you dont need to actively play a part in it.
And why only do it in the van? If it were your pride and joy at risk you wouldnt, or if it was an older car that had crap crash protection (i.e. an original mini) you wouldnt, so dont bully others just cos youre in something big and not yours. Perhaps this desire to be one-up indicates some sort of inadequacy issues?

Anyway, be aware that there are people like me on the road who, faced with the option of hitting something coming the other way at a combined speed of 3 figures and above or ramming the side of the person who just closed the gap on me, I will pick the latter and either force you off the road or push my way into the tiny gap you have left, meaning that you will have then hit the rear quarter of me. And, funnily enough, insurance companies usually take the person who hit the other person up the rear as being in the wrong...
Origin B2 has this feature - I think its called an overspeed alarm. useful in those moments when you get a bit carried away
Its a very good idea, and since a lot of cars are so damn quick these days, it would make sense to have them as part of the trip computer. I used to be very surprised thinking someone had set it back to 70....but no!Quote: Originally posted by telford_mike on 08 January 2005

While I completely agree with you - doesnt the law state that you must not go over 60 on a single-carriageway A-Road?

Its because you dare to overtake them. Some people take offence and think you should sit behind them whilst they drive Miss Daisy.
If the road is clear and you overtake without breaking the speed limit it seems to wind them up
You are entitled to break the speed limit when overtaking. The highway code states so.
I think technically, according to the highway code if a motorist approaches from behind and wishes to travel faster than you are then you are obligated to move over and let them pass, I would imagine this is regardless of whether or not there are vehicles in front of you. A lot of people forget this, which is evident from the number of times i get annoyed because one person is travelling at 25mph with a massive queue building up behind them and a vast open stretch of road in front. It just all adds to britains increasingly congested roads.

Have to say though, was travelling on the M25 sometime last year and came past the Renault Sport F1 team who as I put my indicator on flashed me in. Nice to feel special.
