but sure, that could apply to driving in any urban area. and the m50!
More cars in one place more risk of driver error, less view of the road ahead and less ability to notice cyclists or pedestrians.
i'm just stating fact and what the law is for people like me who are pulling trailers. what do you want me to do? break the law by speeding up or driving in the hard shoulder??( btw if you're driving in the hard shoulder and have an accident in there you're not insured) . Or would you prefer me to pull in and stop everytime a car comes up behind?
i don't see the point of this thread. just because a road has a speed limit of 100 does not mean you can always go that speed limit: you can't go that fast in fog, heavy rain, ice, heavy winds etc. you drive according to the conditions so if you happen to come across a slower car then that's just the conditions on that road at that time and it's up to you to adjust your driving to them accordingly.
if you're not in a place where you can overtake, then sit back, chill, relax. you're not travelling in a time machine, so driving faster is not going to get you there on time if you're already late. 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!
bb12 - i'm not talking trucks or cars pulling trailers + i've mentioned all the conditions that would naturally cause lowered speed and increased caution. what i'm talking about is people on the road who are not supposed to be there - slow drivers literally afraid to drive faster - once again, they are not supposed to be out there on the road, my experience is "sunday drivers" and L drivers - and sure enough, L drivers should be banned forever -i'll never understand how come such system came to existence and have never seen anything to compare it with elsewhere in europe - most people abroad just shake their heads when you tell them over here you can simply get into the car and on the road without any driving lessons ...
that said, i don't drive up the This post will be deleted if not edited to remove bad language of such people - they panic easily and can start braking or behaving irrationally and then both, them and me are screwed ... i'd rather wait, keep my distance and overtake when safe ... maybe that's the reason driving behind such drivers drives me crazy as well - i'm waiting for the road to clear and be safe for such maneuver ...
batty, i don't give a damn about what they are - all i care about is they are not supposed to be on the road if they aren't capable of driving faster than 60 km/h ...Are the people driving who are driving too slowly for you provsional drivers, do they have L plates up? How do you know the person is a "sunday driver", is it stamped on their number plate? If these people are driving in the dark it must be early in the morning or late at night, surely this is not "sunday driver time"?

Only mentioned it because you brought it up in a previous post. How do you know these drivers are not capable of driving faster than 60 km/h, maybe they can but choose not to? For all the reasons mentioned by previous posters i.e poor driving conditions?
