What's more dangerous?????
 
Someone over taking you at 70 in a 60 or coming across some numpty travellling at 40(if your lucky!) in a 60 zone??????

Yep the 2nd part of that is all I've had on a round trip to Keele to take my daughter back. I was going to go out on my bike but couldn't stand the thought of having to go through it all again when I should be enjoying myself!!!!!!

It's easy to overtake on the bike, why worry?

+1 annoying as it is, on Bank holidays or any given Sunday, you know you'll not have a trouble free journey anywhere so best to get yourself in the mindset that you'll just muddle through it. Getting annoyed.

I just came home through Lacock where the hundreds of tourists think that it's all pedestrianised......it took me over 5 minutes to travel a 200yard high street and that's not an exaggeration.

I feel for you, but just breathe and forget about it :-)

Well, if I'd been on the babyblade with the blowing downpipes and Quill endcan with no baffle....they'd have moved...

Or would they? I was in the Discovery and yep, when you rev it you can REALLY hear it but they just seem to go deaf when looking at pretty old cottages. So glad we don't live down there, it would drive me nuts.

I do hate people who go 40 no matter the limit. I particularly hate it when you are on a nice open 60 road where its easy to do the limit but they dont then they speed off into the distance in 30's. WTF!?

Anyway, as said, try to keep calm and just enjoy it. You can over take them pretty easy later on. :)
