When is someone going to crack down on the '40mph in a 60' numpties? I
think they've been persuaded that they're the safest drivers by the
"Speed Kills" lobby but that's nonsense. Their incompetence causes
congestion, it frustrates other drivers and encourages desperate
overtakes. Of those I've seen lately most still couldn't turn the wheel
fast enough to avoid dangerously straddling the centre line, many dab
the brakes every time they see an oncoming car, one had no reaction at
all when I could see the pheasant a mile off, poor thing, and hills
didn't elicit a response so the chain of 30-odd cars behind bunched up
even more as the speed reduced further. Then when we drive through
built-up areas the familiarity of pavements, schools and driveways seems
to reassure them and they keep going when you'd expect them to slow.
I'm all for obeying 30mph limits and I see nothing wrong with 100mph
plus on a quiet dual carriageway but something should be done about these
dozy drivers. Deputise riders to administer justice, perhaps! What do you think? Any more examples?
