Anna B Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Went on a speed awareness course last Friday, that was a waste of time too. 4hrs solid, punishment.. saved me 3pts though. Been on one myself, and I actually enjoyed it! The presenter was brilliant; not patronising, informative and very, very funny. And I have to admit I did learn a thing or two I didn't know before. Mind you it was all down to how it was delivered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 why would you be unhappy with this? Where do you go if something happens? If it blows a wheel out or suddenly swerves, or just the driver isn't paying attention and crosses into your lane?? You could brake, unless there is another truck up your arse, but you might not have the option to swerve out of the way. No hard-shoulder on smart motorways now, or on many A-roads either. I"ve not noticed any lumbering HGV"S on the motorway. lumbering adjective moving in a slow, heavy, awkward way. To move clumsily or heavily, especially from great or ponderous bulk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resident Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Overtake a German eurobox in a 10+ year Mondeo diesel estate. It really winds them up As does dropping into 4th and burying the loud pedal. The large carbon cloud usually makes them aware of their tailgating ways ... As for moron who mentioned he brake-checks other vehicles. I truly hope you try this with a fully loaded 44-tonner one day...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLASGOWOODS Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 In the outside lane is where you'll find people who drive mercs, audis, bmws and volks wagons. These drivers have the capability of knowing how fast they need to drive. They don't need the nanny state to tell them how to think. In the slow lanes are societies losers, people who will.drive at 60mph because they are told to do so. These people are unable to think for themselves and this is shown by the types of cars they drive. In the slow lanes are where you find nissans or middle aged men driving honda jazzes (losers in life) Note the lack of audis in the slow lane on any motorway. You are defined as to where you are in.society by how you drive on the motorway Mercs = winners Big car, small penis syndrome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluePolo Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Unless it's changed since the 80's there was a minimum speed capability of (I believe) 35mph. You didn't have to do this speed, but you had to be able to if necessary. If I remember correctly, around this time someone was prosecuted for taking an electric milk float on the motorway, and it couldn't get up to the minimum speed.
