And no-one in front of you. Does this suggest that you drive your car far too slow for the conditions of the road?

  1. sometimes but i am driving safley at the speed limit


  2. just follow the speed limit, don't be pressured by people behind you to speed up if it makes you uncomfortable.

  3. you're driving too slow.  just stay around the posted limit

  4. NO ,IT JUST MEANS THE OTHERS HAVE CAUGHT YOU UP.ANY QUEUE,AS ANY PROFFESSIONAL DRIVER WILL TELL YOU ,IS THE FAULT OF THE SECOND VEHICLE IN IT FOR NOT OVERTAKING.as you said,no-one in front,thats when you should overtake,it,s part of a drivers skill or lack of skill.

  5. I'm not one of them!!

  6. These people really annoy me, Ok if they want to stick to the speed limit then good for them, but to drive slower than the speed limit is just daft. Especially if they have pulled out on you, these ignorant people shouldn't have passed their tests, no wonder our insurance premiums go up cos we've ended up hitting the kerb crawlers up the backside. Also most of these drivers never indicate, they just turn left or right without any warning.

  7. I agree people shouldnt be pressured to go over the speed limit by someone sitting right up their tail end.  However, if people actually drive at the speed limit, it wouldnt happen as much!

    I dont mind sitting behind someone even in a queue IF they are driving at the speed limit.  People who dont even make it up to the speed limit are as much of a danger as people who speed!

  8. No, Im the guy passing on the gravel shoulder, hope you catch rocks, later.

  9. I'm the poor, long suffering prat who has to hang behind the slow idiot on the road because my pick-up can't pick itself up to overtake; its slow, heavy and got the performance of a pregnant elephant!

    You should try driving on roads like the A72 or A68...jeez. Takes me all day and half the night just to get past a tractor towing slurry! I really wish we had roads here like they do in America; 100 miles of straight roads and you can see whats coming. I would need at least ten miles for an overtaking manoeuvre!!!

  10. Bloody sunday drivers!!!!

  11. YES I AM AND PROUD OF IT!!!  

    I will never be bullied into going over the speed limit by someone behind me. If they are late, that is their fault, they should have left a little earlier.

  12. I usually drive to the speed limit if its safe to do so, having read some of the answers, I wonder if its safe to go out. Next time you see a good smash up most likely caused through speed or impatience have a good look because it might be you next time.  I wonder why young people think its clever to speed when any idiot can press an accelerator down.  When you have seen a couple of smashed bodies think a little deeper.  The wife and kids left behind, your parents, taking up a bed in hospital that could be used by somebody that warrents it. wasting Doctors time  Stop being clever learn that driving can be enjoyable and do remember that some people are not as clever as you think you are.  I saw a lovely notice once and it said, 'employ a young person while they know everything'

  13. No but if in my opinion road conditions mean I drive slowly I would act on it. If you want to break your neck please don't do it overtaking me on a bad corner or greasy narrow road into oncoming traffic ,

  14. No not me.. But I have often been in the queue behind a crawler.   And I am 76 and still faster than a lot of others on the road.   And safely too.   Example yesterday... Lowestoft to Southend -on-sea.   1 hour 45 minutes.

  15. Yes.

    Are you one of those people who think that speed limits don't apply to you?

  16. Ah! you have driven behind me.  

    I always thought that a speed limit was the maximum you should be doing.

    I also do a twisty road every morning that sometimes has tractors or sheep on it (Once there was a donkey)  and I think that 40 mph is quite fast enough yet there are drivers on it that try to drive at seventy.  A driver of a pony and trap was killed on it a few years ago.

  17. The speed limit is the maximum speed you are permitted to travel, but it may not be safe to go this fast depending on conditions, visibility, traffic etc.

    On the other hand if conditions are good driving considerably below the speed limit is not clever either as it encourages overtaking!

  18. Are you one of those people that insist on riding my @$$ when I'm doing the speed limit?

    Does this suggest that you drive your car far too fast and are a hazard to people that are not in a rush to get everywhere?

  19. Fast!

  20. no, but im often stuck behind a long line of traffic.

    and yes it means you drive too slow, much to slow

  21. No way, but my dad drives like that and its scary to watch, tried telling him but he won't listen

  22. no i'm always stuck in one of those queues though!

  23. I drive half the speed limit to show how safe I am

    everyone toots to say well done very safe

  24. first i take it ,you a young kid, , an to  your ?, yes at times, , here why, ,, the truck are car i driving, may be have trouble, are i pulling a heavy, load,,but most of the time , i driveing at the speed , zone,, just because, my truck, will run , around 130, dont mean i got to drive, at that speed, , for you never know when a tire going to blow, are a part, of the car are truck you driveing going to break, , an too, you never know, , if a person are a animal ,going to run out in frout of you,, , dont get me wrong, i hate to get behind some one , driveing at 20, when it safe to drive 50,,

  25. No, but I could punch out the one that does.

  26. No it suggests that you feel that you know better than the traffic engineers, police, and accident investigators that established the speed limits.

    What is really stupid is when I am in the high speed lane of a three lane highway with a speed limit of 55, doing 65, passing those in the middle lane, and you idiots come up on my bumber and flash your lights.  

    Just think of it as drafting, it makes it more exciting.

    If you wanted to get there so soon, leave earlier!!

  27. Have you noticed that everyone thinks you must be wanting to break the speed limit?

    Nowhere in your question did you say that.

  28. No

  29. I'm never in a rush to get anywhere because i don't have any real responsiblity like work, and i live on campus for school soooo.... but anyways, 70MPH limit doesn't mean 70 MPH minimum. just cause it says 70 doesn't mean i have to go 70. why can't people understand that. i like to drive 65 or even 60 sometimes but in the far right lane, but that's only because i don;t rush for anyone unless i have an emergency, in fact i do everything slow.......talk, walk, eat, dress.

  30. if you are NOT going to overtake then leave a gap so the person behind you can get past......!!!!!!!

    If there is a big line of traffic behind you pull over and let us all past then you can drive at whatever speed you want?

  31. nope im always the one thts stuck behind someone else lol no somtimes it can just mean tht u are being extra causious expecially if u have kids in the car x x
