Along the lines of "driving without due care and attention" I propose that a new offence be created specifically that of

"Driving without flair or intention"

The driver may be found guilty of this if driving in a manner which leads the officer observing to believe that said driver might be better off taking the bus or train.

Examples include, but are not limited to, the following:
Maintaining a steady but irritatingly slow speed on NSL roads (e.g 45mph irrespective of posted speed limit)
Failing to make use of main beam to allow safer progress at night

Please feel free to add other examples worthy of this charge.

Found this via the knob thread.

Mr/Mrs/Other Average would be SP30 so report them is it's that's big of an issue.

Mr/Mrs/Other 45 in a 60 would Due Consideration if the is no reason for the hold up.

Having said that a lot of drivers on national speed limit country lanes take it easy this time time of year...



...with good reason.

Drive according to the prevailing conditions - my commute is mainly rural "A" roads, a surprising number of motorcyclists and "hot" car drivers completely oblivious to the possibility that a tractor may emerge from that field or be lurking in that dip. They surely can't be so keen to get to work that they would risk a trip to the undertaker?
