I reckon there's a fair few people who wrongly think the limit on single carriageway is 50. It was for a time many years ago. I have had to follow at dead on 50 for miles on many occasions.
Yes I overtake often, on bike and in my quick car. Nice of the overtakee to flash their headlamps after my move to thank me.
I agree Andy, and if you were 'following' in your even bigger beast of a car then I would be most disppointed
There is this odd thing in the car world where some of the fastest cars are driven the slowest; I have never seen a Porsche, of any stripe, going over the speed limit. Audi R8/10's keep getting in my way.
And, even when I wake someone up and they start to press on, they tend to give up after a few miles, missing overtakes, panic-braking for bends etc.
We have, in this country, bred a whole series of generations who have not a single clue about how their car or bike works, what its capabilities are in terms of engine, chassis or tyre performance nor how really, really good almost every modern car and bike is. A Triumph TR2 (with 4A engine and gearbox and clapped-out rear lever arm dampers) on Michelin X's anyone?
Ee, them were't days lad...
