Slow Drivers
They're everywhere in the morning when you are in a rush to get to work. Learner drivers out on the road on a driving lesson clogging up the A roads. Do you think lessons hould be kept outside rush hour?

Plenty of people complain about drivers speeding, drink driving and tailgating etc. But there are other types of driver; maybe not so obvious that are still a menace to the rest of us. Old people for example?

| 12-8-2010 | Ralph, only persons I've encountered to memory, 3 of them, driving Range Rover Sports that have nearly caused my car or me, harm, happened to be men.
The women I encounter that have a dangerous driving style, own Audi S3's, Mercs and usually very powerful coupe's. Best one however, was a stupid 30 something cow with her 7ft tall bodybuilding hubby in the car that decided the middle lane was a 100mph undertaking speedway. At the last second actually kept diving into the 3rd lane to progress past a middle lane dweller.
After trying and failing to do this to me, I was followed for 26 miles to the next services with her up my bum and then overtaking infront and harshly braking. After phoning the police, I got out of the car, bursting for a wee. I had her drive at me at first and then her husband got out and punched me without warning.
Meh. Sorry for the story again.
A bad driver doesn't need a high powered performance car or to be a specific gender. | Chris. |

It doesn't occur to you does it that they may have worked hard at good jobs and paid for their own car? Jealous? | Kathleen W |
| 20-7-2010 | by the way the worst drivers are the stunning women who have baggd a rich husband who has bought them a BMW X5 or RANGE ROVER so many times I have nearly been ki11ed on my bike by them they soooooo sttuuuupiiiidddd | Ralph London |
| 20-7-2010 | I agree with sticking to the speed limit but only so you dont lose your licence I think it is a ridicolous speed and my car can brake in half the distance they say USAIN BOLT can run at 30 mph !! 30 is too slow and I have lost my licence for exceeding the speed limit apparently I hit over 60 mph on a hundred metre road now unless I had a ferrari this is impossible but as you say you cannot beat the system I guess I just have to wait either until the government is overthrown or untill I earn a 5 figure salary untill I can afford my insurance again it was already 3 times the amount of my car with no points !!! luckily I am more of a bike man and am quick to jump back on my bike were insurance is actually reasonable | F DA JUDGE |

| 14-6-2010 | I drive according to the speed limit ... not because I am a law-abiding nerd per se, but because I have been booked 3 times for speeding and I do have a brain ... a brain that tells me if I go on breaking the speed limit, even by as much as 4 mph, I shall lose my licence. If I lose my licence, I lose my job. If I lose my job, I lose my house and I starve. I am an intelligent human being, I learn that sometimes you can't beat the system, you have to conform. So if the sign says 20 mph, I do 20, even if it seems totally ridiculous. It is not a question of being a slow driver ... if you don't like abiding by the law, then don't, break the law and lose your licence. I don't care whether you lose your licence, but I do care if I lose mine. So ... I stick to the speed limit. And will get totally p'd off by morons or sit on my bumper trying to force me to drive faster. I won't. | Nikki |
| 14-6-2010 | I fully concur with this article and how refreshing it is to see this issue highlighted. It does not receive anything like the attention it should, in my opinion. It's a real problem, especially at the weekends when the part-time drivers are out in force.
Slow drivers are a nuisance. Period. If driving at 40 MPH in a 40 MPH limit is such a scary prospect, then get off the roads and stay off the roads until such a time it is no longer an issue. Or maybe you just like being awkward? Well, stay off the roads until you have grown up. Whatever the reason, stay off the roads until you can safely drive a motor vehicle without annoying other drivers.
Slow drivers cause unnecessary traffic congestion and so does the excessive braking they so frequently insist upon doing.
I have found the most persistent offenders to be women in powerful cars and 4 x 4s, pensioners and frugal drivers keeping too much of an eye on consumption, to the detriment of fellow drivers.
To you all, you're a nuisance, a pest, an irritant. Call it what you will, but get with it or don't bother. You have a responsibility not to drive recklessly, as do we all. BUT, you also have a responsibility to not drive slowly and dither unnecessarily. | The Voice |

| 10-5-2010 | I think is very useful infornmation and it can make people think in very differant ways | jack jolly |
| 21-4-2010 | the trouble with defining a slower driver as a nuisance that should be cleared from the road is that it tries to make your standard the norm.i agree that someone going slower can be irritating but their view of how fast the world should go is as valid as mine and I must respect it.conversely there are some going faster than me who are irritated by me,so it goes.it's only driving after all | realist |
