sorry i may have omitted it was a diesel turbo and yes it was capable of 90+ because it had me behind him :lol:

speed limiters were a good idea yes but they should have been set to 60mph not 56mph the bit of leeway the 4mph gives you to overtake would prevent some of the bunching you get of trucks all doing the same speed

gtomo2:
and the eu wants to slow us down even more to 52mph :shock:

beast5680:
pity they dont apply to the rest of europe :evil:  you dont see any foreign trucks going that slow

I always thought compulsory re-tests every 5 years would get rid of most of the bad drivers on the roads today, but it wouldnt. We're always going to suffer them.
Some people cant think beyond the end of their bonnet.

I dissagree, it's far better than what we have now, ie nothing.  I'm firmly in favour of compulsery re-testing, the biggest problem is that drivers don't drive the way they were taught. most of them couldn't pass the test they originally took, let alone the modern test.  Plus if all drivers were re-tested insurance companies could insist that you took the test in your own car, that would get a few inapropriate vehicles off the school run given that the person at the wheel often can't drive it properly :roll:

Plus it would deal with the 'driving pensioner' question, wouldn't it?
