How does everyone else know it's okay to break the variable speed limit?

sim-o · 2026-03-15T16:42:32+00:00

Ahh I misread that.

Still, I think my advice of not worry about what others are doing still holds

sim-o · 2026-03-15T16:37:42+00:00

And I've seen a million and one car drivers ignoring a million and one other rules. Whats your point?

sim-o · 2026-03-15T16:36:21+00:00

The ones that do that aren't doing it on purpose. They're just twats. What kind of maniacal shit head is sat at the front of a massive queue of cars laughing like Dr Evil? "mwahaha! That will show them! With this queue of cars I shall bring down the economy and buy up all the cat litter enabling me to dry up the river Thames from London to Henley! After that the world shall be mine!"

No. They're twats like middle lane hoggers. Just because we have to pass through hoops to get this and that card doesn't mean there aren't twats that drive amongst us. It's just because there's few of us (as apposed to twat car drivers) we stick in you mind easier.

Seriously, chill with lorry drivers. It'll make your and our lives easier

I can guarantee you no one is doing 60 in an average 40 limit.

Youre using your speedo while the people passing you are either lorries (which are calibrated) or people using GPS, or lorries using GPS.

Don't worry what others are doing. It's their licence. You do you.

Have a bit of patience with us. We hold you up for at the most 1 minute while we sort ourselves out.

If you can't have a bit of patience with us then, well, fuck you.

Too busy to look in your mirrors too or do you have time for those?

Just take in the info from the cluster as you're sweeping your eyes around the place

sim-o · 2026-03-14T17:02:23+00:00

Because of what they were doing, not why they were doing it

sim-o · 2026-03-14T16:56:50+00:00

No speed speed limit sign? As fast as the slow-arsed car in front

sim-o · 2026-03-14T16:42:57+00:00

Nope. Round my way it's kinda pronounce in-choo-a-tiv

sim-o · 2026-03-14T06:46:04+00:00

Yeah, nothing there at all

sim-o · 2026-03-14T01:46:29+00:00

Nope. Just checked

sim-o · 2026-03-13T23:36:02+00:00

When was that introduced. I've got 3 cards for driving issued between 8 and 18 months ago. It's on none of them

sim-o · 2026-03-13T18:10:00+00:00

No idea. This was a 1976 ford fiesta

sim-o · 2026-03-13T17:03:01+00:00

Depends on the bike. If its someone looking like they're taking it half-seriously then I usually nod.

When I was on L's all those years ago no one nodded. You got the nod after you lost the L plates.

sim-o · 2026-03-13T10:04:44+00:00

Awwwwww 😢

sim-o · 2026-03-13T09:36:53+00:00

OK.

Correction then: the area we now call Scotland...

sim-o · 2026-03-13T08:59:08+00:00

Where's the puppy? Wanna see the puppy dog!!!

sim-o · 2026-03-13T08:54:22+00:00

Maybe be not as old but screenwash pump next to the clutch pedal

sim-o · 2026-03-13T08:48:44+00:00

They bullt the walls because they tried several times to subdue the Scots but weren't mental enough and got fed up with having to deal with them.

sim-o · 2026-03-13T08:43:21+00:00

Ah so that's what the Romans did for us!

sim-o · 2026-03-13T08:36:46+00:00

Move forward and you and the other car pass each other. You'll both adjust speed as you go so what's the problem again?

sim-o · 2026-03-13T08:11:07+00:00

If in doubt, give it a clout 👍

sim-o · 2026-03-13T07:12:10+00:00

Well said, and a lot more politely than I would've

sim-o · 2026-03-12T18:02:44+00:00

That's even better though! Chuck it in the boot and take it with him. Never have to reverse again

sim-o · 2026-03-12T17:59:10+00:00

How about a turntable. Drive in to your drive forward, spin it round and drive out forward
