I had road rage this morning. But I'm assuming I'm in the wrong for wanting to do 60mph because all evidence seems to be that the NSL is a max of 40mph. And usually 30mph. Twats.

Haha
The brainless are being brainwashed by speed nazis though

20 is plenty. If you're on a f@#king on bike its slow, actually.

I could get road rage every day going 10 miles across the city at avg 15mph & 15mpg

It's everywhere if you go looking for it.

I modify my driving depending on the car I'm in. Trying to make progress in a moderately powered car will almost certainly result in people trying to block you and generally be an arse. Power gives you options and the ability to deal with any fcukwittery with the minimum of fuss. In busy traffic it doesn't matter what you're in so I just cruise and refuse to get caught up in it. It's not even limited to when you want to get a move on. Tailgating is endemic round here amongst 4 x 4 drivers, women and builders.

My pet hate is people taking the right hand lane and driving like miss daisy.

I had a corsa 1.2 or some such shit pull up next to me, in the S. Noone behind me. Did the same at the next set of lights.

Its worse in the M with a shouty exhaust. Everyone wants to race that.

My 350Z sounds like this:

Not for much longer. I have a standard back box to go on. It's amusing on your own at 6am but embarrassing almost everywhere else. Even wearing my baseball cap.

And as you say, red rag to a bull.

I thought that now everyone was on Big Brother cams, that sort of idiocy had stopped?

Maybe I choose to drive in less-embittered areas, or what I drive generally confuses the shit out of the retarded.

It never occurred to me that be a causal factor until the BIL pointed it out.

I dont mind booting it at the lights if its safe to do so, i know seeing a cheeky launch in a lambo or something nice sounding always makes me smile so...

I wish they would do away with the NSL sign, and simple post up the speed figure instead. Most people, when asked think the national speed limit on a single carriage road is 50

People driving too slowly was one of the main reasons for getting a bike. I like to make decent progress, and even doing sensible speeds on the bike I can easily overtake/filter past all these mouth breathers clogging up our roads.
