    It's a limit not a target. Maybe they're not confident enough to reach the limit.

    As post one, why signal left then, the left lane is for left turning vehicles.

    If they aren't confident enough then they shouldn't be on the road in the first place, let alone driving !!!!!!!

    As the early post says it's the limit. Not a target

    Driving 45 mph on the motorway is dangerous

    Hence the reason police could pull you over for doing so

    The speed limit is too slow in the U.K. As it is never mind people going half the speed limit at times

    60 is a maximum not a minmum

    At over £1 a litre it isn't too low. They should reduce it

    I don't think the speed limit on roads are linked to the cost of fuel

    It's linked to how much you spend

    The markings on Harborough Hill are hardly visible. They have all but worn away. That is true across large parts of town, and it's pretty dangerous if you don't know the roads.

    The speed limits on roads are linked to how much people spend? I don't think they are.

    Wagon drivers that insist on blocking up a dual carriageway because they HAVE to try and go 1mph faster than the wagon infront.

    Wagon drivers who pull out into the fast lane about 100 yards behind the actual wagon they want to overtake.

    Car drivers who sit in the fast lane regardless of it anyone behind wants to get past them.

    Infact any **** that gets in my way.

    Sio having the skill to drive but not the confidence to reach the MAXIMUM speed limit means they shouldn't be on the road? Give your head a shake, Mr Perfect.

    Or in front of their face.

    That makes me laugh; they hold the phone in front of their mouth rather than up to their ear as they think that will prevent them from getting done.

    That's because they've been watching too much of The Apprentice

    Because I can't see what it hurts, simple as that really.

    Snipers leaving their car with the hazard flashers on while they shoot at the US police. People think putting the hazards on makes traffic laws null and void.

    The point above about faster you drive the more fuel you use.

    I drive about a mile or two in town traffic to train station in a morning. I use more then when car cold and stop start than going ten times as far to Meadowhall at 70 in 6th.

    For longer journeys when I'm cruising at 70 (ahem) my range barely seems to dip. It's when you put foot down to go up places like Hoylandswaine hill that your tank empties for some reason.

    I have a 2.2 petrol Vectra.
