Anyone driving a car who is overtaken by a truck in normal driving conditions should have their licence taken off them.A.!00%, I’ve always said this!!
Sorry but you are wrong. As has been said a speed limit is not a target. It all boils down to the conditions and the confidence of a driver.
That is what was stated above. I don’t know who you are what other usernames you have and I don’t really care!
LEARN on a dual carriageway!! Motorway training is not allowed yet and the driving is quite different. Anyone who uses a motorway SHOULD be able to drive at the maximum speed - or at least keep up with the flow!!!

The ability is abundant, the preference is not always so.
I’ve got a little poem I want to share.
What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.
No time to turn at Beauty’s glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
See, when I’m driving in my car, at 50, I rather enjoy staring at the cows, the sky, the fields, pylons, accidents, and litter. It gives me a good feeling, especially when I see so many red faced, teeth gritting, steering wheel gripping, seat of the pants, type A morons who, for one reason or other, see life as a race, and not a journey. Then I get home to my wife who gives me a loving smile as she serves my tea, and says “I’m so glad you drove carefully darling. I’m so glad you didn’t die whilst driving too fast. I love you”.
Life is good, life is perfect.

Staring at cows and pylons, i.e. doing things other than driving.
Sounds about right for a dangerous, dithering halfwit.
Please surrender your licence.

You’ve made yourself look silly by not answering simple questions and then admitting you don’t pay attention when you drive.
Pipe down.

The motorway isn’t for sight seeing, If you look before you enter a motorway there maybe some signs that state ‘scenic route’. On those roads there are places (normally signposted) where you can have a good look on either side of a motorway. People using a motorway are using it to get to a place quicker than ditherers. Ooh those services looked nice maybe we could have stopped there 
Can’t cope with poems. If I had a job to do I generally got on with it…some people used to hold me up because they have nowhere to go and all day to do it in

If you want to think that, you think that.
Dr Damon:
Some need to get it through their thick skulls not everyone is in a hurry. Driving at 50 - 60 mph in normal conditions is quite acceptable in a car on a motorway (in the inside lane)
The thing is, my lorry is limited to 52mph. I often catch up to cars in lane 1 doing less than this, so I pull into lane 2 to pass them. Assuming they don’t speed up when they realise a lorry is overtaking them, it’ll take time for me to pass them. You now have two lanes of slow moving traffic in a high speed environment.
Unless there’s a reason, you shouldn’t be going slow enough on a motorway for a lorry to overtake you. If you’re not confident on a motorway, you shouldn’t be on one.

Much the same as when you catch up to lorries going slower than 52. You still have two lanes of slow moving traffic in a high speed environment.

That is complete and utter rubbish. As I said any car driver is quite entitled to driver at 50 to 60 mph in the inside lane.
Any traffic Officer will agree they are doing nothing wrong apart from it seems annoying a few impatient truck drivers who seem to think everyone should drive at a speed which suits them.

Please tell me it was sarcastic No way is a motorway a scenic route - ffs pull off and look 
If I put more it would be a rant and I’m not interested in them

Perhaps you should explain that to the traffic officers who pulled someone over on th a63 for doin 40mph.
And another thing, Can any of you tell me why lorry drivers never had a problem with cars doing that speed in the inside lane before speed limiters were introduced?

I thought you were smarter than that comment!
The A63 is not a motorway and if you care to read my posts again I said speeds between 50 and 60 mph.

Sorry, I thought you’d be smart enough to see the relevance of such a comment.
It seems you agree with me though, it IS possible to go too slow in a 70 limit. The only thing we disagree on is: how slow is too slow?
