And there's the planks who no matter what HAVE to get past the vehicle in front, be it a truck, land-rover or another car, twunts in roller skates are a particular issue with must pass that land-rover around here...

They are funny though...Especially when they suddenly find thar old and muddy does not equal slow :lol:
We seem to have a rash of daft speed limits here of late. Daft because the sort of people that hit the scenery are travelling well in excess of the existing speed limit, and are just as likely to ignore a lower one!

Highway code rule 169

Do not hold up a long queue of traffic, especially if you are driving a large or slower-moving vehicle. Check your mirrors frequently, and if necessary, pull in where it is safe and let traffic pass.
although i think the 6 / 12 car rule was his interpretation.. :) so no need to raise the limit just enforce the rule 169 withy more gusto :)

mmm it would appear bending the words to suit your own means and ends are something you enjoy .......you must be an MP or a NERC supporter

40mph on single track is still right for LGV - takes a lot of road to stop a fully laden one.

Whilst I applaud the sentiment of Rule 169 (nice to see MC members have the new highway code) and apply it whenever appropriate it isn't backed up by specific legislation and so cannot be "enforced" with, or without, gusto.
:D :D

Highway Code? What's that then? I bought my Licence from the GPO for 7s/6d, and all you common folk need to get out of my way and doff your caps when I approach.
