true.
the thing is though, if i stick to 40 people get agitated and try anything to get past yet when i do 50 most will happily sit behind and wait till the next bit of dual carriageway. i'm not an advocate of speeding but this new law seems sensible.

Wonder if this is why I still haven't had a court summons from my speeding offence, back in March?

I don’t mind when they do that. You can take the opportunity to slipstream in behind the outside one and fire a few texts off.

Thank god. The A69 is a pigging nightmare if you get stuck behind one.

This is true. I've overtaken cops at 75-77 mph and no problems.
Wouldn't push my luck at 80 though.

The A17 from Newark to Norwich ain't better especially the 60 mile stretch between Newark & Kings Lynn....

EVERY Fecking morning on the A19 this happens. They wait till they hit the uphill climb just after Hilton bridge
