It does mate, its stupid, theres no need for there to be a 56mph limit, but then you get idiotic car drivers who drive along at 54/55 mph so you cant easily get past them and then they increase speed by half a mph when you try to over take them and are all in a panic because theres a big truck next to them and they dont like it but they cant get it in to their thick heads that if they just stuck to 60mph which lets face it if you cant comfortably drive along at 60mph you shouldn't be on the road as they are the danger and not the truck.

The feeling to slow speeds down is everywhere. Now is the time to set all the European wrongs in England, though, instead of blaming Europe. But it was an eu law that the uk adopted for some stupid reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
