Do you get irritated by people driving too slow?

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.

| 24-7-2008 | Danny, maybe you should try driving in any of the tourist areas on 'the continent' at this time of the year and you will be held up by dawdling Dutchmen, braindead Belgians, snaillike Swiss, and the French who only have two speeds, snail slow or superfast up your rear bumper. | MikeP |
| 24-7-2008 | Thanks for the advice Danny, but I do not need to book a track day at anywhere to overcome my fear. I used to race MGA's, and for a few years took part in enduro motorbike events. My nervousness is caused by an accident I had on the road whilst out riding a horse, nothing to do with cars. Whe...more | Nikki |
| 24-7-2008 | Nikki, you are definitely a nervous driver, you should book a track day at mondello, or somewhere like that, to overcome your fear. Although 80KPH is not bad, I am referring to the people who drive at 30MPH on national roads, especially here in Galway.
I ride a bike and I am more aware of the dange...more | Danny Mitch |
| 24-7-2008 | Driving too slowly, apart from on a motorway could never be classified as dangerous in the same way that driving too fast is IMO. What IS dangerous would be to be bullied or forced into driving faster than YOU feel safe at driving because some stupid tw** up your chuff trying to chivvy you along!

| 24-7-2008 | "How come they are so common over here whilst you dont see them on the continent"
You don't? Ypu obviously don't drive in the places I drive then ... the 'continent' is a big place! Or maybe you zip past them so fast you don't notice them. Otherwise a visit to th...more | MikeP |
| 24-7-2008 | Nikki, that is true also. I was making the point that driving too slow is just as dangerous. Everybody knows that excessive speeding is dangerous!
That was not my point. Drive at the correct speed limit depending on the road and the conditions. What generally happens is that if a person drives too...more | Danny Mitch |
| 22-7-2008 | Danny, people who drive fast on main roads don't seem to realise the harm they cause either ! !
A friend of mine's best friend has just been flattened by a speeding Porsche driver whilst out jogging. He says he didn't see her, but she was wearing hi viz clothing in good visibility. ...more | Nikki |
| 21-7-2008 | I totally agree. A lot of people drive well below speed limit causing more harm on the road. The driving test in Ireland only tests driving ability in a city/town, People who drive slowly on main roads dont seem to realise the harm they cause. It is truly amazing. The driving test needs to be revise...more | danny mitch |

I so agree with you there about indicating especially when turning right. I drive artics so when fully laden at 44tonnes I take a long time to pull away and need a large gap due to being 60ft long but it infuriates me when I pull out as a car is clearly going straight on, yet low and behold...more | C+E |
| 08-7-2008 | I quite agree Dean, you take your life in your hands when you drive around those dang roudabouts in MK ! Especially if you are not that familiar with the place. Unfortunately, I have to visit there because my daughter lives in MK. I used to go down and see her on the train because she lived near ...more | Nikki |
| 30-6-2008 | I was taught to use left lane for first exit, either lane for straight over (or second exit) and right lane for third exit or turning right. Milton Keynes drivers are nutters, almost as bad as Bedford. Best stay away from that part of the country. | Dean |
| 29-6-2008 | Aha Petralava, you have touched upon one of life's great mysteries! I am with you all the way on this one, but my daughter, aged 21, tells me that I am in the wrong when I stick to the right on a roundabout if I am exiting on the 3rd exit. She lives in Milton Keynes, and they seem to have a co...more | Nikki |
