Speed awareness course

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

If you're travelling at 70 and there are HGV's in the first and second lanes travelling at 50mph, you'll be past them very quickly and able to move from the overtaking lane
So the fact you hog the overtaking lane is against the Highway Code

Anything between 50 and 69mph good for me to use the outside lane at 70 - some times iut can take an age as the lorry can speed up / slow down owing to topography. It can be an arduous process - often taking 10-15 mins to pass a lorry or two.

Mr Swiss Cheese, I bet you are one of those blokes that let buses out into the traffic aren't you.

As per the highway code, yes.

If it take 10 minutes to go past a vehicle, you aren't overtaking it.

Especially when HGV's are speed limited

But he's wumming, which is why I've refrained from calling him a selfish ****

It’s the same idiots on every road:

Ah but surely the roads were built for these 'idiots'! They aren't just ordinary drivers, they are special and should be treated as such. Personally, I'd crush their car!

Nothing wrong with putting safety ahead of speed.

Get your fucking toe down then :-)

Except when you are deliberately annoying other road users, which in turn leads to frustration, bad decisions and accidents

Like I said before. Speeding is not the answer. To gett there sooner, set off earlier.

Damn I thought you would look up the act and section...... (giggle)

Don't need to - it's clearly displayed on the rear offside of most buses.

That doesn't negate the fact that YOU are deliberately winding up other road users, which is more dangerous than them speeding

Just like Sandbach to Stafford but without the smart motorway and average speed camera signs :-)

You're doing the exact opposite

I'm always careful mate - can't mess about towing a caravan.

But you aren't towing a caravan at 70 in the third lane of a motorway are you?
Though you're certainly towing a few on here.

Hardly got out with the caravan this year and using the car a lot less actually. Started cycling with some of the blokes from work more. We meet up at the end of the road and do the commute into town together. Not racing or anything, tbh it's nice to just pootle along having a chat.
