When making a commentary, I sometimes find myself left with an uncomfortable gap where there is nothing new to describe - No junctions, other traffic (At all or impacting us), or new hazards, features deviations etc that can be talked through - Just a straight cruise along at the speed limit.

I do have some filler material for these, such as commenting on the road itself (Quality of surface, condition and engineering) and other environmental conditions, but it generally doesn't take too long to get through these, and even the most outlandish hazards have been covered in the initial commentary.

Any ideas for filler, or additional items that can be covered?

I like to think so!
It is very rare that I have the opportunity, but some of the roads that we use do have inappropriate limits for otherwise well engineered roads, which would cause a few awkward minutes of silence otherwise - Eyes are up as far as possible!

Think of a scene like this, minus the other traffic - 50 Limit, plain lane as far as can be seen, with a limit point far in the distance, and no particular features for the next few minutes of rolling at 50.
