walshie 2,804 Posted December 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Driving too slow can be considered an offence apparently, but I'm not sure what it would come under. When I did my advanced motorcycle course, I was told to accelerate up to the speed limit as soon as possible. Mainly to stop ginger people tailgating me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

downsouth 8,333 Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Got to be honest i dont do 70 i sit happy at 63 ish and im chilled but pisssed off when i get flashed to speed up by a truck..what lane are you in when your doing 63ish? And trucks are limited to under 63 so you must be going a lot slower if they need you to speed up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lukey 1,621 Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 The ones that said 50 should be banned for a year and made to re sit there test. There the folk that go 50 in a 70 and 40 in a 60 holding everybody up and causing accidents. Was behind some prick the other night driving on a 60 and he was doing 40......got to the town which is a 30 and he continued to do 40....rage! Wish it was legal to batter these folk aff the road like!!! So you must be the prick that tail gates everyone in front for a few mins before overtaking?If your the prick doing 40 in a 60 then yes I'm the prick that's tail gaiting ye!!.....lolOnly thing is I'm confident in my driving and your obviously not so be safer wi you off the road. It's called patience, I don't have much mind you nor do I drive slow but when my woman is driving with the kids in the back she won't go over 60 on a 70 or 50 on a 60, you'd be surprised how many idiots tailgate even with a baby on board sign on the back and it can be a pretty dangerous and of putting thing to do! Usually a wee hand gesture from me in the passenger seat out the back window makes them get to f**k away, fecking hate it!!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But what I can tell the difference between is a car full of children and just some useless driver. There's just too many people on the road now with very little confidence...driving around with basically a large weapon of not handled correctly. I often wonder with these car crashes how many times someone who actually caused the crash is oblivious to it and continues to drive away. Christ half of them can't see what's happrning out there front window never mind there rear window or mirrors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chid 6,779 Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Ive still got my hgv so hey im telling u they can still do 60 plus, do it but dont flash me to speed up, just 3 months ago i followed a hgv and had no need to overtake him hahaha uk trucks made after 1987 are by law limited to 56 mph , new ones are around 54 mph this is checked every year at MOT time .... so you must either going slower than you think or every truck that is flashing you is running illegally 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RossM 8,149 Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Did they question any of them on positioning and signalling at roundabouts? No. It wasn't an advanced course. After a few minutes talking to that lot, I'm surprised he didn't describe the steering wheel as "that round thing between you and the screen". That would be your belly when you at the computer....... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
