No Dennis, the problem is that she is a ****wit who should be put

Please cite the relevant legislation that makes driving at 45mph on a
motor way "an offence". It might be offensive but that isn't the same.

The offence is 'driving without reasonable consideration'. Same penalties
as driving without due care and attention.


Assuming the motorway is not chock a block it is dangerous though as
traffic doing the legal limit is closing at 25mph and that will catch
out half the day dreamers that populate our motorways (see comment
about the lane 2 hogs).

The other thing that annoys me are the number of people who think they
have right of way when joing a motorway from a slip road, combined
with those that blindly pull out into lane 2 at junctions. The
traffic on the motorway has right of way and those joining should
match their speed to that traffic and fit safely into the traffic
flow. It's not difficult, Highway Code Rule 259.

That drives me nuts as well. I've had drivers hoot & wave fists.

Applies to A roads as well around here. Entrance to the Medway tunnel is
especially bad. Have to say its mainly young females.
