I commute down lanes as it is eaier and quicker than the main road (no long queues behind Mr/Mrs 40), I often come across same speed people, I pass on clear safe roads then they tailgate me through a village.

That one absolutely does my nut in! The lanes I use to & from work don't have many safe overtaking opportunities (too many hills & bends, and my eyes can't see over hills, sadly) - much less in the Omega - so I tend to be stuck behind the person doing 40mph..

Who invariably speeds up when they get to a 30 or 40 limit village!

I swear, they feel 'safer' in a village (despite all the side junctions, parked cars, SCHOOLS!, children, etc) than they do on a country lane .. proximity of trees must really freak them out.

</rant>

I'm not even going there ::) ::)

 ;D I just couldn't help myself.. self restraint never was one of my strong suits ;)

I had some little chavvy scrote climbing all over the rear of my car through all the speed limits the other night on my way home so I decided to teach him a lesson once out onto the open road... Didn't see him again until the next speed limit  ::) ::) :D :D

Horses are different, they weigh about 2ton on their own!  :o
So does an Omega.

You wouldn't want someone riding a bike without a licence, would you  :-/

License has sod all to do with it.

Person 1) Passes their test in 1995, they can tow more than a gross weight of 3.5 ton, they had no extra training for this.

Person 2) Passes their test in 1998, they are now limited to 3.5 ton.

What training has person 1 had extra? What makes them more qualified to tow?  :-?

Older generation with full license can tow a caravan, I've seen some really awful towing by older people. They had no extra training  :)


Why don't you just take the towing test, it will come in useful one day.

Think I might  :)  :y
