Is that the worst you have to moan about?

Jeez, get over yourself.

7 posts and this dude talks sense! ^^
If you can just overtake a line of cars, it is your duty.
I hate horses with a passion and they shouldn't be allowed to be ridden on roads. There are so many fields FFS!

Horses are disgusting so any opportunity to kick my Vtec through my chavvy loud exhaust is much welcomed.
How to lose friends and alienate people.........now thats a good film.

Yeah, but Con Air is the best film ever made...

Some serious intolerance here.

Maybe only young persons with sharp reactions and the ability to drive racy sports cars at break neck speeds should be allowed on the roads during the day, during rush hour and at weekends. Oh and absolutely no animal transport at all, so no burgers etc for you lot, or horse steaks.

"the speed limit for an HGV on an A road single carriageway, its 40mph"

I genuinely didn't know that - I had always thought it was 50 - you live and learn...

Try that behind a TESCO wagon all the way from Milton Keynes to Buckingham

40mph is correct - roof down - kick back and enjoy the scenery

What bugs me more than horseboxes (they don't annoy me that much), people that drive at 40 no matter what the speed limit is, be it 60 or 30, there they are merrily wafting along at 40. They won't go fast but they'll happily break the speed limit when it gets to a 30...

LOL i agree about the 40mph mob, they tend to sit there oblivious of all that going on around them full stop. And when ur observing the limit in a 30 they drive right up your arse looking frosty, nail it into the 60 and they vanish.

we have a road with a 30-60-30-60 in about 7 miles the number of tools that sit at 40 regardless apart from at the one well placed ( IMO ) camera in the 2nd 30 limit is a pain, you pass them easy + legaly in the 60 and they flash you or worse then in the built up 30 as soon as your past the camera there up your ass again.

I had one dolt who after I passed him in the 60 on my bike I hasten to add then sat right up my ass in the 30 zone and went to pass me whilst still in the 30 zone whilst I was doing 30, not wanting to be taken out I kept to 30 in the 30 zone and past he went cuting me a dirty look as he did we then enter the 60 zone and he just sticks at 40, 100 mtr straight no solid lines no junctions so flash of the right indicator drop a cog and pass wide and fast full beam and horn beeps from behind told me all I needed to know make a bit more distance and next time pass him sooner in the first 60.
