Well I’m not particularly bothered at what speed others do, if they’re slower than me I deal with it, if they’re faster than me I deal with it. What’s really bothering me though is the Scottish government! I don’t do nearly enough runs to Scotland nowadays but having watched Braveheart and Trainspotting both more than once I consider myself to be Scottish in spirit, so how can the contradictory barmpots in charge exhibit such glaring double standards as having the A9 where it’s perfectly legal to roll along at 50mph whereas another perfectly safe s/c has a limit 20% lower on it?
Methinks it’s just them getting all uppity and refusing to do what Longshanks’s people are doing!
I’m more concerned about that road trip video we did Maost. How did Conor get hold of it?
If it was the one where you missed the turn off and then demonstrated the lunatic grip levels of your starship then I think that his hair would turn white in shock if he watched it.

If he saw me rallying my Topline around the Lakes he would probably faint.
Adonis.:
My boss doesn’t tell me to speed, I do it because I’m not sitting hours and hours waiting for a boat, mess up an entire weeks worth of work just because some beano who can’t drive won’t get the foot down.

You need your licence taking away, something not right with you. Nothing big or clever with what you spout.

Company I do a lot of work for monitor your driving and are strict on doing 40 on a single carriageway. I got a word in my ear once because I had my cc set at 41 on a run down a major A road.

That is just bloody ridiculous, and an example of how these management type knobs apply this sort of crap far too seriously.
These guys have no bearing on reality.

You are quite correct. It is ridiculous but have you ever asked yourself why it’s happening? I am sure you have. It’s a lot to do with ‘keep er lit’ mob. Most drivers drive at a reasonable speed but you always get the ones that go well ott.
It won’t be that long till we are all restricted to the speed limit(exactly) and spaced correctly and all because of the selfish brigade.
Thank goodness I will not be driving by then.
Adonis.:
Get the foot down or get out of the way. I bet you put it up to the limiter on the dual carriageway sections too, why speed there but not anywhere else?
If you want to do the limit, fine, but be prepared to stop in every layby to let the miles of traffic behind you clear, simple. Its called not being a wee snivveling beano fanny.
What’s it got to do with you how fast someone else is going anyway?
Just get out the way, you irritant, is what I’m saying.

Your boss has given you an impossible job and you don’t have the nuts to tell him so you lube up, break the law and drive dangerously because you don’t want to disappoint.
Or
Adonis.:
I get paid more than you.

You’re carving the job up.
I don’t work for the types of companies you work for where it’s acceptable to take 15 hours to do an 8 hour shift. My boss doesn’t set me impossible work so I don’t need to tell him that it can’t be done. It can be done because I’m not a dawdling fanny. I’m not an hourly paid goon that needs to drag the job out to make a wage worth taking home because I actually get paid what I’m worth.
You’ll need to explain which job exactly I’m “carving” up?

You won’t be driving then because you don’t drive now, you compulsive lying gimp.
Wheel Nut:
Tossers mate, the job was better when the A74 was 40mph too
Yeah used it all the time in the 70’s and early 80’s although they were fairly hot on speeding lorries then as well but not with stupid cameras. Patrol cars that noticed the idiots and pulled them in.
There was an accident around then involving a lorry where a police officer was killed and after that for a long time they were ready to pounce.Bring them back to take the clowns off the road I say.
As you say ,job far better then, far less idiots and proper lorries.
yup I mind that big accident just north o Lockerbie lateish 70s,the north bound patrol car wae 2 traffic and a wheeltapper in went to pass iirc Raleigh bikes artic he never seen them (due to the speed the car was doing ),pulled out and the patrol car went airborne and went into a southbound Mixer part o the car landed on the mixer drivers lap(he survived but lost his legs). all in the patrol car died. Can mind it clearly as was first time I saw pieces o dead folk all over the place. …sorry for taking this of post.
I’m in no rush, no pressure off my gaffer, it gets there when I get it there, safely and in one piece.
An I really do not give a monkeys who passes me, I have nothing to prove by going flat out all the time, nor do I have the neanderthal Adonis outlook that if I’m in front then I’m clearly the best.
I’ve dealt with and seen enough dead bodies and carnage in my career so far to know it’s not big n ain’t clever to be in that much of a rush.
I love the “keep her lit” supertruckers, especially their top quality advice on their vast knowledge and superior driving skills. Truck on youth.

I love the old saddos who think they’re far superior because they sit at the speed limit and claim to be perfect at all things.

A worthy application and we welcome you to the fold adoptive brother.
However to fully pass a Scottish citizenship test, you need to have performed at least 80% of the following -
Shouted “errapolis” as two of your mates have a square go outside a nightclub at 4am
Know what a “square go” is
Said “Whats all this green [zb] on my plate? Wheres the fried stuff?” (Asking a waiter to substitute your veg for chips also counts)
Drank a full 2L bottle of Irn Bru in under an hour
Refuse to acknowledge diet irn bru as “real”
Have had someone ask what school you go to and straight away know they actually want to know what team you support
Left a house party at 2am carrying a microwave and claiming you brought it with you
Went mental at a party after bringing 12 cans, drinking 2, giving one away but finding out theres only 8 left
Tried to chat up a female police officer. After shes just arrested you
Shouted “Taps aff” and went ■■■■■■■ 3 seconds after the sun shines, despite the temperature still being in single figures
-You consider scattered showers as “not bad weather today”
You use the word “how?” instead of “Why?”
When the national team plays a country with a team of part timers from a foreign land with a population of less than 2000, you fill with dread as you know Scotland will probably get beat
When Scotland are winning 2 nil at half time, you say “well 2 each wont be a bad result I suppose”
Youve been called “a dafty” by a ned
Youve told someone a haggis is a wild animal
Youve had an argument with a shop keeper in England and demanded that Scottish money is legal tender (bonus points if you did this whilst fully aware that it actually isnt)

Listening to Nicky Campbell this morning, apparentlly some Top notch ■■■■■■ in the Police Traffic Division is advocating a change in law to nick drivers for doing 1 mph + over the speed limit.
Good old UK eh?

I was lucky enough not to see it and was not sure of the exact details as I was based in London at the time and traveled up to Scotland once a fortnight.Every lorry driver that traveled that road knew about it though. It was the main topic in the transport cafes for a while!

Look on the bright side. We will soon get rid of the ‘flat to the mat brigade’ roads and people will be a lot safer too.
