Daft Car Drivers

[mini rant]
Popped over to Woking today to see a couple of friends. The journey there is basically staying on the one road for 10 miles, with varying speed limits between 30mph to NSL. All very well sign posted, in the 30, 40 and 50 zones there are repeater signs every 100m or so and less frequent in the NSL. Even without the signs, you can read the speed of the road by the surroundings, if you have any sense.
On many occassions i was stuck behind idiots travelling at less than 50% of the allowed speed on the roads. Unfortunately i was always two cars back from idiot and so unable to get past them I know it is a speed limit, not a target. However in no area is it a problem to drive at the prescribed limit. I don't for one second think that the drivers did not see the signs, i simply believe they were driving without any observation or paying attention to what was going on around them.
Another reason to install an automatic weapon of some sort on the car
[/Mini rant over]

agree with the rant.

What would baffle me would be if a cop pulled a driver or rider for just creeping over a speed limit by a few mph but not a driver doing as you say 50% less that the limit of the road.
ofcourse there not breaking any limits but not keeping with the flow of the traffic is just as dangerous so why should'nt cops be able to have a strong word with the slow driver warning them of the danger there putting others in.

I think it's getting larger, its the end, fiery apocalypse is upon us!

We're all doomed (in a Scottish accent)!

I agree with the annoyance it can cause and as a lorry driver resticted by HGV Regs in NSL I have had a few fists shaken at me but for an HGV it is the rules. Other people who doddle along are just a pain.

. . or are they self-righteous planet savers?
Caging it the other day, and passed one doing 30 in a 40.
All hell let loose with hooting & flashing - almost wondered if I'd done anything wrong!

You probably woke them up lol

Totally agree, and its the people that do 40 is a 60 limit who then do 40 through a 30

I was told in my car test that you should do of safe at least 55 on the NSL roads and if I didn't I would fail. That also applied for the motorbike test on dual carriageways etc and that was to keep up with the flow of traffic. I guess a cop could/would pull them over but when did you last see a police officer with enough time to do anything about it.....
