I don't think they should be allowed on single lane carriageways where the National Speed Limit applies. Around my gaffe they ride round in gangs, like its the Tour De France or something. I've seen then riding two or even three abreast with a trail of cars behind them.
If you were driving a car at that speed the Police would pull you over and issue you with a fixed penalty fine or even charge you with dangerous driving. That's how accidents happen and I can't be a*rsed quoting from the Highway Code but there are rules about driving too slow and also about moving over when somebody behind wants to get past. Those rules apply to car drivers but the same rules should apply to cyclists. They aren't allowed on motorways and shouldn't be allowed on single lane carriageways with National Speed Limit.
