It's a pet hate of mine. You're driving along the motorway or dual carriageway and you're in either the outside lane or the middle lane overtaking the car on your left. Along comes Mr. Impatient who can't wait to get wherever he's going and of course, you're in the way!
An attempt to force you into moving over...
He starts by manoeuvring his car as close as possible to the back end of yours in an attempt to force you into moving over so he can go past at breakneck speed. Is he blind or something? Can't he see that you are already part way through an overtaking manoeuvre?
"Well come in why don't you You're knocking on the back door there so you might as well!" I'm not dragging my heels here; I'm actually overtaking at or above the speed limit so you're not sitting behind a little old lady peering over the steering wheel.
The tailgating hasn't worked so Mr Impatient tries a different approach. He starts flashing his headlights at regular intervals. Well what is this meant to achieve? Do you think that I didn't see you there? Flashing your headlights to attract my attention just demonstrates that you're rude and arrogant. It's not going to have the desired effect of getting me out the way no sir!
This kind of aggressive driving irritates the hell out of me. You're supposed to pull over and let these idiots go by like that discourages it. I'm afraid it just makes me see red though and I stand my ground, carry on overtaking and move in when it suits me.
If anything I take my time about it all. Yes I know. It's the wrong thing to do, but I don't feel inclined to make life easier for these rude and arrogant idiots.

Try to understand this. You already understand that drivers are a cash cow, it's not a big leap in logic.
But that's what the traffic cops are doing, stopping speeding drivers breaking the law and thus protecting us against speeding crims. ( once caught your name is on record, and your money is in thier pockets).Whatever some people think the posted speed limits should be to suit their own beliefs (and habits) they are wrong, if they break the speed limits they will get targeted by said law enforcement. No matter how you feel about the current setup, thats the way it is, so live with it, the police are our friends, love them back.
"This is why there are speed limits on roads in the UK, set by people that know what they are talking about."
?
The USA and many other countries has debunked this rule, it is now outdated, redundant, in fact it is very dangerous. This is why there are speed limits on roads in the UK, set by people that know what they are talking about.
Stretches of the M4 are among the roads in Wales which are affected, with reductions at Newport and Port Talbot.
The report also calls for more average speed cameras to be introduced, pointing to figures which suggest average speed cameras reduce fatal and serious collisions by 36%, and a reduction in the threshold for speeding prosecutions.
The report recommends reviewing national speed limits, with a particular emphasis on single carriageways in the countryside – suggesting that a 5% decrease in mean speed could produce a 30% reduction in deaths on these roads.
What made you think that I didn't accept this? Doesn't make it right! As I said before, it would be better if the police were patrolling the streets and stopping crimes which actually have victims. If you should ever have the misfortune to be mugged just after drawing out some cash I'm sure you would agree.
We can only hope that under some future government road safety will come first and the 85th percentile rule will again be used to determine speed limits.
