I'm not too bothered about the speeders - most of the young ones (i.e. all twinks in Golfs that sit with a Schumacher stance) will run into a telephone poll sooner or later. I usually move with the traffic at around 80-90 on the motorway when it's not busy (limit is 70), and move with the traffic when it's busy at whatever speed it may be. I keep it to a max of 35 in and around town (limit is 30)... especially since there are pedestrians, cyclists, horses, roadworks, etc.
It's the overly timid drivers that worry me.
Old people, and women, that try to merge into 70MPH traffic by driving down the access road and indicating at 45. FORTY FUCKING FIVE. Yes, indeed, 45 may be a "safe" speed, but not when you're trying to merge between two cars that are going 70. It's just dangerous. That causes many, many accidents.
Women, again - if someone is on an access road to a dual carriage way, and they're level with you, and the lane next to you is empty - please - move over and let them on. If you don't move, they're either going to have to speed up or brake. If you're on the access road, and the lane beside me is empty, indeed, I will move over and let you on.
Also - people that slam on their breaks on the access road when there's virtually no traffic on the motorway, yet there are people following behind them. I've seen people STOP dead before now, and there's no need for it. Are they trying to be safe or something? It causes accidents. Reminds me of a Goofy cartoon where he's trying to get on the motorway, he stops on the access road and causes a huge pile up.
In this country, on the motorway, speed limit is 70. Sometimes there are cops parked on the grass looking for speeders. Women and old people, when you see a cop, there's no need to slow down to 40. The limit is 70.
People don't pull out in front of buses and 8-wheelers. But if it's a compact? I don't know what makes people think that the laws of physics don't apply to them. If you're going to pull out suddenly in front of a moving car, WHATEVER the size, without looking, don't be surprised if it doesn't stop. The car heading towards you may be a compact, but the fact of the matter is, it's travelling just as fast as any other car and it takes just as long to stop.
Those thin sheet of steel doors on your shitty sedan is the only thing seperating you and your family from a 2500lb compact lump of speeding metal and glass. I'm fine... I've got the whole hood in front of me. But when it hits you, it's going to snap your bones and break you in half just as easily as a truck would. I'm trying to keep the insurance down and keep a clean license, but you fucking kamikaze clowns making it REAL hard work. You're not invincible, you morons.
