Please cite the relevant legislation that makes driving at 45mph on a

The offence is 'driving without reasonable consideration'.

That is some what of a "catch all". What legislation directly enforces a
requirement to drive at over 45 mph on a motorway?

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

Same here, they can't really have an excuse that they haven't seen me in a
Land Rover FFS but they seem to object to my horn and headlights when they
pull in with their back end 6' from my front doing 50 when I'm doing 60...

Applies to A roads as well around here. Entrance to the Medway tunnel
is especially bad.

A road design can be a bit poor there is one entrance slip in Leeds that I
always avoid. It's too short, even when I was driving a car with a bit
more go than the LR. Not helped by it being on a gentle left hand bend and
in a cutting so you can't see anything in lane 1 until you are more or
less in the final 20yds of slip road. And being in a cutting there is no
hard shoulder to abort down if you need to.
