A follow on from my "Middle Lane" thread.
Why do drivers sit at forty/fifty on A & B roads & flash their lights at you when you overtake them :-/
I came up behind a few today on the A65 that where dawdling, if they don't like being overtaken, drive faster ;)
I did notice Trilbies in the back window ;D
-
They really love being overtaken by a Westfield with a side-exit exhaust doing 7K RPM. ;D

:y :y
Yeah, i used to overtake them in my Trans Am with straight through exhausts ;D
-
same for both threads really.
lazy and incompetent.

Again - missiles.

Some flash the main beam out of indignation, some do it to tell you it is safe to pull back in - copying HGV drivers.

Something that annoys me more than people who do a steady 40 or 50 are the people who do 40 and then slow down to 20 every time there's an oncoming car, as soon as it's dark enough to require headlights (so dusk onwards)..
I'm all for driving within the distance you can see, but if everyone did that we'd all just stop opposite the first car with it's lights on that we saw ::)
Ban 'em all.
-
That was absalutely my favourite game on my zx6, down a gear over take with a big hand full of throttle, then snap the throttle shut about level with the window and roll past on the over run....CABOOM with a big blue flash out the exhaust, faaaantastic. I even set the mirror on the rear pipe so I could watch at night ::)
Cirtainly saw the odd blue rinse wobble ;D
Clearly no idea of what's behind them, not just me but a bloody great queue of traffic >:(

Indeed, they simply can not see.

Ah you can't beat setting fire to the front wing of whatever you just overtook.. ;D

Pete, start a thread on lorry drivers darting out into lane 2 at absolutely and deliberately the worst time for no reason what so ever (except another lorry 100 yards ahead which will take them 3 weeks to catch up never mind overtake) ;)
-
The thing that annoys me is, when it's dark, drivers who park on the wrong side of the road and leave their headlights on, shining into the centre of the road, making it difficult sometimes to see past their car.

Yup. The Breastie's rather loud when on song, no faster i know just louder when she's in uncouth mode.
If i saw the Westie in my mirror i'd back off & open the window so i could hear it properly!!! 8-)

The problem is with the "limiters" not the drivers.
You'll find one going 1mph faster than the other other approach to a hill & he'll need the extra momentum to get up the hill.

There seems to be an increase in this blatant breaking of rules since the decrease of traffic cops.
I drove 230 miles today & saw one traffic car >:(

Mmm not convinced, I am absolutely certain theres an ever increasing percentage that take great joy in watching darting and evasive traffic in their aftermath, sure some mis judge it, must be difficult, but on the m4 nobodys that bad a driver, nobody.

Don't the driving schools teach them anything.
The other annoyance is cars that sit 2" from your rear bumper in traffic jams, still in gear with their foot on the clutch.
My dad taught me to drive back in the 1950's, and he always taught me 'Can you see their back wheels on the tarmac?'.
This allows a number of things, amongst which, if you are rear ended, you may not hit the car in front, also, if the car in front breaks down, you have room to maneuver around them.

As a truck driver myself i do sympathise with car/van drivers who have to wait for us to complete a long overtake. I drive a car too so do understand. As said all limiters vary within 2 or 3 or 4 mph & we're on cruise so to sit behind a slower truck can be frustrating. I always indicate & wait for a car who'se not in a rush to flash me out. When they do i pull out & flip my indicators as a thankyou. When i've crept past, got in again & the car passes me i wave thanks out the window.
I know some artic drivers consider thier truck a penis extension & think they rule the road but that does'nt apply to all of us...same could be said for 4x4 & BMW drivers...cyclists???? :y

not wishing to antagonise the HGV drivers here, I think you find it's called ...... might has right! I've had many a wagon pull out on me just before a hill while I've been towing in the middle lane, I would have been able to complete the overtake with miles to spare had I then not been forced to view the 4r$e end of a waggon cos they decide to pull out on me at the last minute. For some reason they then get upset when you 'remonstrate' with the horn when you eventually pass after they have eventually done their overtake or realised there's not a cat in hell's chance of overtaking up a hill & so have pulled back in behind the wagon they started to overtake 5 miles ago. ::) ::) ::)
The FOUR lanes up the M62 to Yarkshire is a classic example, lanes 1, 2 & 3 are full of HGV's all overtaking each other doing 55.5 to 56.2 leaving lane 4 for those who can manage 70 up a hill.
and breathe ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ;)

So what happened to the bit about...iirc....no manoeuvre should cause other road users to swerve or deviate in speed or course? ESP re truck drivers? Oh something is in my way, I'll just inconvenience or cause a near miss to 15 car drivers rather than take a foot off the throttle for 2 milli seconds...
....and another thing ::) ;D. How is it, no matter what time of night, no matter how remote a part of the country, if there is a slip road exit coming up, there is always always always 3 lorries in convoy blocking the exit and I have to slow down to 54 and wait? How do they do it? There could be nothing else on the road for the last 10miles, but as soon as I want to come off, 3bloody great artics... ;D

You've got it all wrong, Chris - you speed up and slice past the cab of the first truck*... ;D

I was taught that too, by my Driving Instructor in the 90's...

I've only just read this thread as I suspected it would mostly be full of what it was. I wasn't disappointed. So many issues.
I always said that folk who just drove cars ought to be made to drive a juggernaut, tractor, ride a motor/bike and and horse before being let loose on the roads.. Course it won't happen.
Most of the issues raised arise from two things.
1. Britain is a dog eat dog place where people haven't got a minute to spare and everyone feels they are the most important thing on the crowded road. You aren't.
2. Unfortunately people have become for whatever reason blind to the needs of others. For example a 70 year old man going home from visiting his sick mother inhospital has different needs from a 25 year old full of testosterone needing to get back home and change before going out on the pull/razz.
Going back to some practicalities. Juggernauts are limited to their speed but on a schedule from head office. So what if they pull out at 56 mph to overtake another juggernaut limited to 50 mph. You wait a few minutes then accelerate on. Your journey time is hardly hindered but theres would be.
Sadly there will always be bad driving. Folk happy to bumble on at 40 in a convoy nose to tale making ity impossible to overtake. They should leave a reasonable distance. Folk who when being overtaken leave their lights on dipped instead of main beam to help the overtaker. Folk who feel threatened by some lunatic who has been on his boot lid trying to get past for the last 3 miles with dodgy headlights or worse auxilliary lights too.
There I have said it an argument for the sitting at 40 man (or woman).
Oh and by the way since living here I have had to accept that you often get stuck behind vehicles travelling at 20 mph on open roads. I suspect they think they ar still riding a mule!! ;D ;D ;D

I agree with pretty much the most of that. :y
As for the highlit part, bear in mind that speed limiters on heavies are electro-mechanichal gizmo's and are subject to variations such as tyre size/tread depth as well as the calibration variables between machines, despite the best attempts of fitters with their rolling roads...
Thus, a difference of 0.2 or 3 miles per hour on a long uphill pull means that one waggon wants in front of the other and takes their opportunity when presented. I also see what Chrisgixer alludes to and do see similar regularly when clocking up the miles on the m/way network.
And to AndyB, when he presents the case for waggons cutting up those of us with pikey palaces hanging off the back.... ;D
-
I have ALWAYS recommended that HGV vehicles (or any vehicle limited to a 'industry standard' speed) should be fitted with an overtaking button.
The industry knows that every vehicle cannot be callibrated to .1mph!
Why not give the drivers of these vehicles an option to press a button which will give them an extra 5mph for a pre-determined distance, say 2miles.... limit this feature for one 'spurt' every 20 or 30 miles.
It will stop wagons from crawling past their compadre's for miles on end, forcing Mister Rover 414, complete with flat-cap and his already dead wife from hogging lane 3 at a constant 69.5mph. >:(
-
Ultimately, it's a matter of space, congestion, numbers on the roads, there simply isn't room. Everything else is a reaction/response to that is it not?
The further away from London, Birmingham, major citys and built up areas the easier it gets and the politer more easier going drivers are, unless your down Cornwall way in the summer holidays. Time and money and pressure to arrive on time all vanish when there's room on the roads, it's not a question of time for others in the first instance, take as long as you want to arrive, sit at 40 all day long for all I care, but drive to the conditions at the time where applicable, which may mean increasing speed to a heady 56mph.... ......stating the obvious now surely? We simply can't "drive how we want" and stuff everyone regardless. Be it an old duffer at 40 or a spotty yoof at 90, or an ignorant lorry driver swerving into lane 2 in the face of cars doing 80 or whatever in the middle lane... >:(
... With that I shall herumpf off to bed ;D ;)

Ah, good old road rage... ::)
Chris, after taking your prozac, ponder this. Driving could be a lot less stressful if you try to bear in mind the following:
1. Anticipate the road ahead. ie If you know a hill is coming up, then get ready to change lanes before your forced to brake/swerve.
2. Whilst everyone else drives like a tw4t, take comfort from the fact that, although not perfect, you are at least trying not to. This alone will help your stress levels.
3. You drive an Omega and therefore have nothing to prove. 8-) BMWs, Audis and the like, are generally driven by people who think they've something to prove and therefore are constantly trying to prove that they are the sort of people who buy these cars. (no offence del).
4. The more worked up you get when you drive, the worse your driving gets.
Now where did I put my ovaltine? :-/
-
It really does bug me, I've never understood the logic behind doing 40 in a 60, but it happens every day I go out >:(
Thing that bugs me is people pulling out of parking areas on the side of a single carriage way, I was going down one at 60 MPH in the van the other week when this Focus pulled right out on me and did about 30 MPH this of course sent me into a flashing headlight horn and every other thing rage, then they decided to follow me with their main beam on, I mean why? They're in the wrong yet they do something like that, I always find though these are the type of people that won't pull over for a chat.

I'm going to be honest here and say I totally agree that my driving gets a lot worse when I get road rage, for example people pulling out on me at roundabouts etc, I will sit as close as possible to their arse end that's another thing that bugs me too and I know i shouldn't do it but christ that winds me up. There is a mini roundabout bolt lookalike thing in Ashfords new shared space area and I'd say 40% of drivers still don't treat it as a roundabout >:(

;D so when this Lorry pulls into lane two where are you we assuming I am on the road as the resulting melay unfolds on this hill? Far too many presumptions in there Al, but over all your absolutely right IMO, I mean after 15 years on a bike I must be able to anticipate to some level or I'd have a lorries rear end parked in my face by now ;D :y

And interestingly I actually encountered a polite BMW driver the other day :o I thanked him, but doing so was painful, got to raise left arm, got to raise left arm, aaaaah. I don't get that pain thanking other drivers ;D

Far too many presumptions in there
::)
Yeah, sorry about that. I should have included Lexus in the list. :D
Joking aside I wasn't feeling particularly concise last night. This should better sum up what I was getting at:
1. Anticipation. (of what might happen).
2. Awareness. (of what is happening around you).
3. Acceptance. (that people will drive bmws/audis/lexuses in an irritating manner).
4. Alertness. (so you are better able to react).
5. Acknowledgement. (people who let you out have chosen to, so say thank you).
That should help restore peace and harmony to a roundabout/middle lane/carpark near you in time for Christmas. :y
Also another couple of tips:
1. Pulling up so that you can still see the rear wheels of the car in front works regardless of what you are driving.
2. Make sure that the car behind you hits you before you've hit the car in front.
Be safe out there boys and girls. :y

2. Awareness. (of what is happening around you).
3. Acceptance. (that people will drive bmws/audis/lexuses in an irritating manner).
4. Alertness. (so you are better able to react).
5. Acknowledgement. (people who let you out have chosen to, so say thank you).
That should help restore peace and harmony to a roundabout/middle lane/carpark near you in time for Christmas. :y
Also another couple of tips:
1. Pulling up so that you can still see the rear wheels of the car in front works regardless of what you are driving.
2. Make sure that the car behind you hits you before you've hit the car in front.
Be safe out there boys and girls. :y
Oh sigh...
