over taking imo:

- fair enough if the person is going slower than the speed limit

- overtaking while im pissed off at having to drive to the speed limit - well dont expect me to alter my road position or speed if something comes the other way

dont get the whole flashy thing really - im contempt in my own little world

I hate these knobs that overtake you in a 30 limit. then you pass them on the dual carridge way doing 55.

I agree with everything here. They should have a rule - if you have a line of more than five cars behind you, get off the road, youre too slow. But that will never happen with this government - they WANT everything to be slow.

I think the roads are more dangerous now than theyve ever been? Why? Because everywhere around the country, our lovely A and B roads with normal 60 mph limits are being gradually eroded down to 50s, 40s and in some cases even 30s for no other reason that it is cheaper than maintaining quality road surfaces and also gives the local council the option of putting in speed cameras later. And the end result of all this 40mph madness on the open roads? The vast majority of people who were happy to bumble along at 55-65 on an empty A or B road, now have to crawl along at 40 because of some tw*t at the front. Everyones pulling out into oncoming traffic, overtaking agressively, because otherwise you could spend your whole day in a line of traffic. I have seen plenty of near misses due to impatient overtakers who end up with no option but to try and get past 3 or 4 cars in a row because everyone else is bunched up so close behind the tw*t at the the front.





Top show. Agree completely. And whats more theyll say they have to lower the limit further still.

No one has a clue but real people like us.

I cant stand these butty boys that insist ondrivingup ya arse for as long as they can get away with it, its like unless youre doing 3 fig speeds everywhere you shouldnt be there, after all, when they have a chance to go by what do they do? NOTHING!

As for arseholes that dont indicate, dont get me started on them.

I hate the idiots that have one speed, 40 in a 30, 40 in a 40 and 40 in a 60.

Soon enough they will drop the speed of the Mway to an american matching 55mph, even though cars are a million times safer for drivers/peds than ever before and that the actual stopping distance is probably half of what it was with current breaking technology. I seem to remember one of the driving programs going twice the speed and still stopping inside the highway code recomended stopping distance.

I wouldnt worry though, give it 5 years and cars will be limited to the legal maximum speed limit your travelling through by GPS chips in the ECU.

sounds like a good case for older cars with no ecu, tax exempt mini turbo anyone?

i was stumped and suprised didnt know how to argue back, he then said

"obviously you are from shepton to, so you better watch your back"
