I worry a bit on the 33bhp that I end up middlelane hogging. Well not as such but feels like I'm in there longer than I'd like as it takes so long to overtake at higher speeds!

A very fair decision IMO. I think it can be very dangerous to have drivers on the road that are so disruptive to other tarffic.
In America, there is a minimum speed limit on most highways and interstates and I think we should have that here on certain stretches of road. Last year I sat behind an old man on a country road with a national speed limit and it was a large, marked two lane road with good vision, but the man in front did not go past 30mph for the 7 miles I was behind him. I actually put my phone on the steering wheel and videoed him braking and swerving every time a car cam in the opposite direction and he almost stopped completely when a bus went past. I will hate it when I can no longer drive safely, but I'd rather not drive than turn into the kind of person I cannot stand to get stuck behind! |

...and why don't people overtake when the road is clear as a bell? Followed two cars behind a cement mixer on the A41 from Whitchurch to Chester this morning, too long a dfistance for me to overtake all three safely in my clapped out Clio, but so frustrating when people will not pull out and get past. I was at screaming point by the time they turned off at Broxton.

I fully expect to be slammed for it and would have deserved whatever I got if I'd been caught. I used to use my phone when driving when I was younger and grew up somewhere along the way and stopped. However, that day, something made me want to catch his driving on camera and I did. Got home, realised what I'd done and felt like a complete hypocrite. Still, I did one silly thing and won't do it again. I don't think there are many drivers that haven't done something stupid behind the wheel at some point. |

Surely theres a minimum speed limit? 10mph is barely crawling in first gear, bloody ridiculous to drive on a national speed limit road that slow. He must be retarded to actually go that slow.
