Just because a road sign shows 30, 40, 50, 60 or 70 mph it doesn’t mean that everyone has to dash along at that speed. The road sign is a SPEED LIMIT meaning that you must not exceed that limit and that means that you can travel at any speed UNDER that limit subject to the road conditions.

I find that Mr BMW and Mr Merc, as you put it, have more respect for their vehicles to try and force their right of way. It is silly to generalise a driver by the car he drives but if you must go down that road then I would suggest that most 4 x 4 drivers are the ones who are pushy.

Drivers in vans of any colour are the real pain in the butt. They hurtle around as if they own the road and try to push the car in front to go faster by tailgating.
