Just followed a plonker doing 45mph in a 60 limit area. No traffic ahead of him, but traffic coming the opposite way made overtaking impossible.

Then we entered a 30mph limit and the tw@ continued (estimated ) at 45mph.

Duh!

Yes these people drive me potty. Thankfully they have their heads so far up their own fundaments that they don't see speed cameras either and then complain when they are nicked.

So far the only real up-side I've found for the blasted things...

Another lot that drive me insane are the fnckers who overtake me as I drive up to the NSL sign at 30mph only to dither about at 48mph thereafter so I have to overtake 'em again....

Think we live in the same general area Streaky and never cease to be amazed at the number of people who seem incapable of adjusting their speed to posted limits and road conditions. They just do a constant 40-45mph regardless. Really p****s me off when I'm observing 30mph restriction and they are 2 inches off my bumper.

It's even worse in the countryside where I live. These effing eejuts drive tractors and drive their cars the same way.

You need a fast car (got one!) to get past them at the few overtaking opportunities on the twisty roads.

A helicopter with a big magnet is required to remove these inbreds from the roads.
