Burns Posted August 31, 2007 Report Posted August 31, 2007 do some people drive so slooooooooooowly on the same bypass today, it's a 50 limit (don't ask me why it's only 50) with a single lane either way and space to overtake in the middle. it's about a mile long. on the way to my parents, there was someone doing 35 all the way down the bloody thing (there were 4 cars between us, so i couldn't have overtaken safely) then coming back, i was behind someone doing 40!!! what's the bloody problem with doing the speed limit? now don't get me wrong, doing 50 or there abouts is fine by me, but bloody 35mph /rant
ZetecVan 2.0 Posted August 31, 2007 Report Posted August 31, 2007 There's a 50mph road near me that people insist on doing 30. And it's downhill. The Driglington bypass is the same. Either people rag it down there at 80, or drive at 45-50.
Mr Sam Posted August 31, 2007 Report Posted August 31, 2007 it really pisses me off when old folk sit at 40 down an A road get into a little village and there still doing 40 FFS if your not confident on an open road above 40 why the fook are you doing that speed with parked cars and kids around got stuck behind a type R tonight doing 30 i was expectin it to boot it when i overtook..........some old OAP
sab6024 Posted August 31, 2007 Report Posted August 31, 2007 Don't even get me started on the driving abilities of the muppets on the road. I do about 30,000 miles a year and I reckon about 10,000 of that is backwards. I'm up and down back lanes all day and the amount of people I come across who can't reverse. I give in too easily and end up reversing for them. A lot of them won't even attempt it. And why is it that people seem to think that because they are on holiday then everyone else must be too. I've got a job to do and don't have the time to be doing 20mph between calls They make me mad
Copey Posted August 31, 2007 Report Posted August 31, 2007 cant stand people goin under the speed limit!! ther is no need for it, also on back roads like Sab said, when someone just wont reverse for 10 yards into a gap and i have to reverse a stupid amount up the road with a total tinker lol right on my front bumper, then they dont bother to thank you!!! actually makes me wanna turn round, follow them all the way home and hit them!!!
Mrs O/H/C Posted August 31, 2007 Report Posted August 31, 2007 OH DONT I KNOW.....HERE IN CORNWALL THEY ALL DRIVE SOOOOO SLOWLY !! I COME FROM SURREY WHERE EVERYONE DRIVES ABOVE THE SPEED LIMIT NOT BELOW IT !!
spooner Posted August 31, 2007 Report Posted August 31, 2007 What would you rather want, old farts & biddy’s going faster than they can handle Bouncing off every car in the street because they are going beyond there capabilities. We will all be old someday
omj624p Posted September 1, 2007 Report Posted September 1, 2007 Its getting really bad in Hertfordshire. I was only discussing this with my g/f a while ago. People do 20 in a 40 and 30 in a 60, etc. The worst bit is they dont seem to know what mirrors are for and dont realise the holdups they are causing. Sometimes I like to drive slowly, like in the countryside, but when someone appears behind me I move out of their way. I hate driving with someone right up behind me, and its just good manners to let them past. It makes my blood boil!!! Grrrrr
Messenjah Posted September 1, 2007 Report Posted September 1, 2007 thts why i use the other side of the road as often as is possible

escortmad79 Posted September 2, 2007 Report Posted September 2, 2007 Know what you mean, I followed a car out of Brixham on Saturday doing 30mph in a 40 zone, managed to get back to the yard, reload the van & get back out for 2nd deliveries (Took 12 minutes to load the van), went down the back lanes to do my first drop in a small village & managed to get stuck behind the same car going through the village!! It takes 5 minutes tops to get to Stoke Gabriel from where I got past them on a short dual carriageway

mk2harrier Posted September 2, 2007 Report Posted September 2, 2007 annoying, i travel alot for work with three of us in a crew van taking it in turns to drive, but one of my mates says it is a limit not a target and often drives 5 to 10 mph under the limit. needless to say, he doesnt get to drive much.
