Ok point taken its a silly manouver to do, its something i wouldn't do, just like that Vectra that pulled out in front of my disco exiting from a fuel station last week causing me to stand on my brakes.
But why are 2 cars driving down the motorway side by side, unless they are overtaking they should be in the inside lane (the one on the far left btw) so is that not a silly manouver in its own right.

it is indeed and I'm amazed at the number of times I have trundelled down the inside lane at 70mph whilst happily undertaking everyone sitting in the middle lane at 60/65mph. And before anyone tells me what I'm doing is illegal the Highway code states the following
"traffic in left-hand lanes may sometimes be moving faster than traffic to the right. In these conditions you may keep up with the traffic in your lane even if this means passing traffic in the lane to your right. Do not weave in and out of lanes to overtake."
Yoshi:
if you in a car doing 55 overtaking a car doing 50 your going to be side by side. the last time i nearly took out a motorcyclist was when i was overtaking a van, i was doing 70 and a gust of wind took me sideways, i missed the biker (who was between me and the van at the time on the white lines) by milimetres.

I say they should be limited, as with cars as well, there is no need to go above 70mph as that is the top speed limit in this country.

So if we limit your RR to a top speed of 70mph - that'll be going down hill of course - how fast do you reckon you'll be going to get back up it?
To limit speed you have to limit power, that is why every vehicle can go faster than the max sppeed limits in any country :roll:

You dont have to limit power to limit speed. :roll:
