Re: Speed Limits
As a learner driver, my instructor wont allow me to drive over the speed limit on any roads. I have lost count of the number of drivers who have beeped their horns, driven on my bumper and gesticulated at me to speed up. Luckily I'm a bit older than the average age learner and don't let them worry or upset me. I have had to do 4 emergency stops because cars coming out of side streets have decided they don't want to be behind me & have jumped out in front only to find the road blocked, or the lights on red.
I do find it a pain that on some roads I know I could go faster safely but on others It would be better to go a wee bit slower especially in the wet.
As for pedestrians their lives would be made so much easier if drivers would indicate, correctly, the direction they wish to take. The highway code says you should use your indicator to tell others which way you intend to go. All too often drivers don't bother, leaving us poor walkers to guess which way a car is going.
