I rather hate people that do 45 on a b road

Depends on the road... Some only justify that speed but I know what you mean!

Well alot of the main roads here are between a and b roads so they take alot of traffic and can easily take 60 and then you have some thingy holding everbody up.

I'd say just as many accidents are caused by people like that
That pro

If they are doing that speed, and you have enough visibility to overtake, it is easier as you just drop down / kick down and you are past!!

It's when they are doing say 55 mph that it is harder, as you have to really kick down accelerating to speeds well above the speed limit ( ) to safely get past, hitting possibly 85 - 90 before quickly knocking back to the legal limit

[KillerWatt]

These idiots make my blood boil (not hard). I know I shouldn't but I get right up their arse, headlights on main beam, and hand pressed firmly on the horn.
I have actually done that for about three minutes, until my missus nearly died of embarassment, but the tinker moved!

If you truly do behave like that, then I sincerely hope that someone takes you out before you end up killing someone.

I woudn't overtake at that speed (nothing to do with me driving a 4 pot ), its not too slow to risk, and I've seen a couple of near misses from that

If you have the adequate visibility that your maneuver will require, the road space, and the experience to handle the situation coolly, then it is not dangerous .

Indeed... And I must confess it is something I have done frequently

Well visability can be a challange on Irish roads as well as road space.

Although I do handle situations very coolly

Addendum: If I happen to notice that the driver is a hairy arsed gorilla, I always calculate if my top speed is greater than his...just in case.

Until they stick their windscreen washers on..then you back off because you can see f*ck all!

James May tried that. It didn't quite work

[LaserLance]

Oh no .......now these is my pet hate grrrrrrrrrr ,you think its bad in a car try it in a hgv when your on m/way and some old foamer is doing 52/53 mph ,you go to overtake you get level with them and they speed up ,then they slow back down , then you try again and they do the same.Now im getting in to raging hump mode when they do that Right I better go take me tablets and sit in corner and calm down

That works both ways though. I've had HGV's have a go at overtaking me & the caravan ........ everyone HAS to be in front of the caravan,  don't they! ...... on a down hill section of a dual carraigeway. My cruise has been set & my speed hasn't altered. He's ran out of steam as the road goes back up hill and so eventually pulls back in behind. He's had a clear view of what the road's going to do ..... but apparently it's my fault that he's not been able to overtake.  :-? :-? :-?

i must admit i hug the middle lane


but at 90mph where i can

if i come to a car that is only doing 50/60mph in the middle lane and the slow lane is clear i get the lights flashing to get them over
i hate it having to break for people doing 50mph on the motorway
if they can't do the motorway speeds they should not be on the motorway in the first place

but you're supposed to 'keep left' what ever speed you're doing.
