It's because going fast doesn't necessarily change your average speed, and it's that you need to increase in order to get to your destination sooner.

On Friday afternoon I was coming back from Clitheroe and arrived at the A59 at the same time as someone in a Fiat 500 Abarth. I stayed left at 50, he thrashed it down the outside lane, and cut in ahead of someone right at the big roundabout with the A671 - he'd gained about 350 metres. By the time I arrived at the lights he was two cars in front. He hammered it again to get past the cars ahead of him so he disappeared from view - until we got to the lights where we split off on the 680 towards Great Harwood. Now there was only one car between us. At the turn into Harwood, the separating car continued off into Clayton. We arrived at my destination at the same time.

I hadn't needed to stop at the two sets of lights, he had. So that had cut his average speed down to the same as mine, even though he'd been thrashing it whenever he could.

Yeah but he had much more fun thrashing the spuds of his car. Its not always about getting somewhere faster, its about having a little fun.

It sounds like he was only playing or driving like a pussy and should have been passing more cars.

Try telling that to the guy who had to brake harder because his safety space was invaded by someone having fun.

Seriously - you're suggesting that the roads are there for entertainment?

I don't hear many people using the term overtaking lane these days, I usually hear it referred to as the outside lane and people tend to number them 1 2 3 4 5 etc.

I know anything pulling a trailer can't go in the outside lane but I still often see cars with trailers in the outside lane. Is there a weight limit as well as no trailers allowed in the outside lane?

Equally as bad as a speeding driver is the self righteous driver.

I ended up refusing to travel with a work colleague because he was a danger to all.
He would travel at 45 in the middle lane...

Nothing self righteous about asking drivers to take responsibilty for their own actions.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with asking drivers to take responsibilities for THEIR actions, you speed you get booked, don't complain.
THERE is something self righteous about an idiot that gets pleasure from putting folk in danger, he is far worse than anyone that breaks the speed limit.
Or would you like to come back with some sort of response that he was acting in a responsible manner and entitled to do what he did?

We can only drive one car at a time, drive yours to keep yourself safe, don't try to correct the rest of the traffic!

There is no excuse for what he was doing, and I don`t blame you for refusing to travel with him, sounds a right tool.
