Why don't people understand what a speed limit is for in built up areas? Today I'm officially sick of people sitting on my tail 'looking for a race', especially in 30-50 zones.

Don't get me wrong, I'm always up for a good blat, but not in built up areas.

Two plonkers in a red ferrari and silver porsche were doing ridiculous speed chasing each other down 9 mile ride this afternoon nono. Left us for dead in the 50zone. Just stupid at a time when pedestrians were out and about. Grrr.... (p.s. Hope it wasn't anyone on here?)

Do others on here get people sitting right behind them looking for a race, or is it my 'chavvy vauxhall' that isn't helping?

I haven't been pulled over at all in it yet... but then again I'm normally wearing a suit driving in rush hour traffic.

The VXR forums have a growing number of reports of "just getting pulled over to 'check'" as apparently thefts of them has been climbing :-/
