Took the Honda out for it's first proper ride of the year. Enjoyable ride spoilt at the end by a selfish car driver doing 40mph in a 60. At least a dozen cars and vans backed up behind him for mile after mile. You'd think that it might occur to him that the huge queue behind him might be due to his driving. You can see how road rage develops.

No he or she were just focused on the road in front of them, its spring and the myopic summer Sunday drivers have just come out of hibernation

The very thing that gets to me as well, made worse by the fact that none of the car drivers in the queue leave enough room between them and the vehicle in front to allow anyone with the power and ability to overtake.

Yep he probably got home and told his wife the roads were quiet.

This road is notorious for accidents, usually head-ons. I'm guessing some drivers get so frustrated that do desperate overtakes. As Jasper Carrot used to say "his mother-in-law has never had an accident, but she's seen hundreds"

Is that the same "The Expanse" as on Netflix or Sci-Fi channel?

If you're into Game of Thrones, I think George R R Martin might die before he releases his next book
