There's no question that poor observational skills and lack of managing speed to conditions are a much bigger issue on the roads than slow driving. Doesn't change the fact that 45mph drivers on a motorway are a pain in the jacksie.

I stand by my original point, which was; driving at stupidly slow speeds is dangerous and lane hoggers are twats.

No I haven't got you mixed up with another poster. You are another one who has no idea what they've previously said. From several pages ago where you categorically stated that you agreed that people should be able to drive at any speed they like below the limit:

What is interesting about that is that the speed limit for motorway and dual carriageway is generally the same yet 50cc scooters and even pedal cycles can use the latter. 🤔There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

Never have I made mention of a person's capabilities. I have constantly referred to mitigating circumstances which you have chosen to ignore.

As an aside, the fact you really don't understand how statistics work doesn't help your argument. Your back of a fag packet sums don't take into account the fact that very few people actually drive too slowly so you are way off the mark with those figures. You should avoid statistical bias.

That doesn't mean its acceptable to go 31mph on a motorway though.

Lorries aren't allowed on the roads on a Sunday...not a pet peeve but lorries were mentioned
Terribly written post, I meant in some European countries e.g. Hungary.Last edited by Wembley67; 11-05-2021 at 01:23 PM.

Folk who don’t pay attention and just assume there’s no danger
coming west on the bypass last night, in the outside lane approaching the on ramp from Straiton, idiot in a van comes up the slip road, onto the bypass and just keeps on going towards the outside lane, nearly running me into the central reservation. A blast of the horn and he jerks back to the inside lane, clearly hasn’t seen me or bothered to check
then gives me a dirty look as I pass him

With there being no side rear windows or back window there's a huge blind spot and it's particularly bad when merging on to the likes of the bypass.
I obviously check out as much of the traffic flow as a can as I'm tanking down the slip road and then try and gauge enough time for that blind spot to clear.
Even so and being cautious I've been caught out a couple of times.
And a dirty look in vanman language means Oops sorry mate, have a nice day ;-)Space to let

The blind spot disappears if you do a shoulder check.
