If you're not aware of the safe distance that should be maintained between moving cars, perhaps it's not the primera driver that should consider the bus.
100kmph is a limit - not a target. The person in the primera was perfectly entitled to drive at whatever speedhe/she felt comfotable. They are required to make reasonable provision to allow other traffic pass (not, however, by entering the hard shoulder) but if you still can't pass, that's just too bad.
It's the responsibility of the the NRA and the various councils to provide roads that offer reasonable passing opportunity relative to the route and the volume of traffic. However, we're all aware that this doesn't occur. It's not the fault of the primera driver though.

2 Seconds.what is the safe minimum distance between you and the car in front of you?
2 Seconds.
i know it was ironic but judging from the distance between the cars you see on our motorways some people actually think so - if you told them the half-tachometer rule they'd be surprised
I don't think 60kmph in a 100kmph is excessively slow.
... the driver caused a very long queue of cars and some dangerous overtaking maneuvers in the dark - ....

if i'm pulling a horsebox on a 100 or even 120 km stretch of road, i'm still resticted to a maximum speed limit of 80km. would drive slower than that normally, depending on the load up and the condition of the road also. only ever really do 80 on a motorway. too bad for the traffic behind, but c'est la vie.
i'm not allowed to drive in the hard shoulder to let cars pass and i wouldn't want to anyhow because 1) the potholes in there are terrible for the horses and the axles/suspension of the horsebox and 2) cars won't let me get back out on the main road if there's a car parked etc up front etc, so unfortunately if you get stuck behind me, it's up to you to choose a safe place to pass.
In other words - I'm alright, Jack. Screw the rest of yous!
i really hope you're not the type of person who drives up the This post will be deleted if not edited to remove bad language of old people driving and puts the fear of god into them!
