You are starting to get GOM/MOG syndrome (grumpy old man / miserable old git)

Normally I'd prescribe a Range Rover for your 'condition' as I feel a lot more chilled out when I'm driving mine, but as you've already got one I don't know what to suggest! MY23 Panamera E-Hybrid

Maybe Martin that’s the problem…I don’t have one yet. I’m either in the company barge (E class) or the wife’s Infiniti FX(which is excellent….except for “sporty” ride and lack of boot space!)

This gets right on my nerves. Going slow in nationals and then busting the speed limit by 50% in 30's! These people are bloody dangerous. They seem oblivious of anything further than 10ft from their bonnet badge. Christian.

A truck driver I knew years ago told me he often did that for no better reason than to annoy people..... Adaptive cruise control doesnt help the speed thing when going into a lower limit...... Not the scenario you describe but, imagine you're driving at, say, 50 in a 50 zone. The car in front slows down when it reaches a 30 zone. Your car slows down too. Then the car in front turns off...... 2010 Range Rover Autobiography TDV8 Santorini Black 2010 Range Rover Autobiography TDV8 Zermatt Silver [Gone] 2003 Range Rover HSE Oslo Blue [Gone] 1985 Camel Trophy 90 (Netherlands Team Vehicle) [Gone] 1990 Camel Trophy 127 (Workshop Vehicle) [Gone] 1989 Camel Trophy 110 (Workshop Vehicle) [Gone] 1998 Camel Trophy Freelander (South African Team Vehicle) 1995 Camel Trophy Discovery 300Tdi (Raft Unit) [Gone] |

. Yeet.... I too have a young lad around that age, apparently it means “to throw” in modern gaming parlance. A lot of the stuff is coming from the YouTube with some massive channels all about Roblox / Minecraft / Fortnite etc. a brave new world indeed.. |

As a trucker I know why the slow over taking happens. A long time ago, you used too back off the gas, let the overtaking vehicle pass and flash them in.

Surely then when you know they won’t backoff and you rely on it, then don’t overtake. Both are as bad as each other, just as selfish and utterly pointless to everyone else. |
