What irritates you more?

[R13...]

1. Someone doing 50 in a 60 zone. Here's why;

A pr*ck doing 110 in a 60 zone zooms past you in a second or two. Yes he is an idiot and a danger on the road, but he is only an irritation to you for the short duration that he zooms past.

A slow fart doing 50 or so in front of you sits at that speed for for ages, and it end up grating your tits for ages if you can't pass.

What stops you passing the slow fart?

What stops you passing the slow fart?

A single lane carriage way.

...

And if the said pr!ck loses control just behind you for any one of a hundred reasons and careens into you, wipes you out or family or a friend, that's still only an irritation?

Different topic completely. The OP was a simple question between the two. Variables are unlimited. As I said I condone neither.

No worries. If I bring fear factor into it (like you said different topic), I am poop of the second scenario. Really poop.

60 Zones

I'm in no rush anymore. If I'm late, I phone ahead which is rare but then again I don't have the 'luxury' of sitting in peak hour traffic much.

So 110km in 60km zone as my family could be out for a stroll down the road when some ijit loses control of his rocket.

110km in a 60km zone ......... hate speeders with a passion. Just take yourselves out.

What is wrong with speed?

Speeding over the limit? You need someone to explain that to you?

Are we talking from a legal point of view, or actual speed (e.g 60 vs 120) ?

Legally. Never mind that most other vehicles on public roads are travelling at half the speed.

 

[kripstoe]

Legally.

Ok. Carry on.

No need to. I have nothing against speed. On public roads with excessive speeding I do.

110 & the people annoying people who cross into the lane over a barrier line making it impossible to merge because they floor their luxury cars.

I really think SA needs to pass laws that say if someone is not obeying the law, they fall out of protection.. i.e. I'd drive these f*****s off the road and beat them as the cops are never there.

I drive nippy generally but not in a way to make nuisance of myself to others. Seems the guys in the luxury cars think everyone owes them and needs to get out of the way. I won't if well within the legal wY and you being an arsehole.
