That's actually what you write. You seem to think the speed you have chosen is the speed I should be going. You don't allow for people with greater skill or less fear to go faster.

A group of cowboys were branding some cattle.
While they were out the cook saw a sheep tied to a post. Thinking it was for that nights dinner he cooked it.
That night after dinner the cowboys were all sulking and ignoring the cook. He pulled one aside and asked, "Did I screw up the cooking?"
"No", the cowboy replied, "You cooked up the screwing."

That may not be possible, depending on the road conditions -
narrow/windy road, oncoming traffic. It may not be possible for the
person in front even to stop or pull over to let you pass. Now, should
they speed up to what the consider to be a dangerous extent just to keep

In most situations you can either slow to allow them to pass easily, or you can pull over into a layby for 10 seconds.

There is a maximum permitted speed which applies, if there is a speed

You have no right to overtake any driver who is travelling at that

No, it's unlawful whether or not you are caught. getting away with it
this time does *not* make it legal. And if you are caught next time, and
proof surfaces during the proceedings of a consistent course of actions,
then the court take that into account when determining your punishment.

action puts you outside the protection of the law.

Stealing money from a bank is criminal. Speeding is not. You don't go to jail, you don't get a criminal record.

And you've ignored what I said. MILLIONS of people break that law. And you still think it's right?!?

Which part of they were obviously travelling too fast for the road
conditions do you misunserstand?

The part where I've never had it happen to me, yet you seem to have
witnessed it. The difference between the two is you were present when
he crashed and I wasn't.

Then your stated assumption as to the cause of their problem is
unjustified.

WHAT?!?!? Listen to what I write for crying out loud. YOU caused him
to crash. *I* did not. YOU are the dangerous arsehole.

No, *he* caused him to crash. He was, as the driver, in sole control of
his vehicle. I wasn't anywhere near him at the time. If it had been me
in the hedge, I would accept full responsibility for that fact. If it
had been you, presumably you would be blaming the driver you had just
overtaken or your passenger for distracting you, or the road conditions,
rather than accepting any responsibility for your actions.

Cause and effect. Buy a Physics book.

"Correctly"? So there is one fixed speed that is correct for everyone?

There is a maximum permitted speed which applies, if there is a speed
limit for that road. Which there is on every road in the United Kingdom.

You have no right to overtake any driver who is travelling at that
speed, whether you consider it to be safe or not.

So ****ing what? Everybody does it. What right has the government to dictate how quickly somebody carries out a task?

"Risk points on your license" indeed. You have to get 12 to lose your
license. You only get 3 for speeding. There's a good margin for error
there.

Why should he?

Why don't you go chew some mains flex - there's a fair chance you'll live so
you have some margin for error.

That is a chance. But speeding has precisely ZERO chance of losing your license unless you've already been caught three times in the last few years (in which case you need a satnav with a speed camera database).

No, it's unlawful whether or not you are caught. getting away with it
this time does *not* make it legal.

Don't be a childish pedant. What the law doesn't know about won't hurt them.

And if you are caught next time, and
proof surfaces during the proceedings of a consistent course of actions,
then the court take that into account when determining your punishment.

That means being caught more than once.

Not sure if your 240V is AC or DC though as that could change things.

Every time anything is conencted to a voltage that is capable of conducing
current will flow, whether or not you se that as a sudden rush I guess is up
to the observer.

Thass why I think it's a silly phrase to use in this context. They way
it's been written about so far would imply to me that the user thinks
that you connect up the volts, and the amps "rush in" until they notice
the resistance and then decide to be sensible and slow down to the
proper value.

It was quite clearly a reference to a filament bulb where the
initially cold, and low resistance, filament allows a "rush" of
current that decays quickly as the filament gets hotter and lower
resistance.

Its stupid to speed up if you are being tailgated.

You tailgate me and I will slow down.

And I would just ignore the tailgater, or allow him to pass.

The slowing down is to allow him to pass. If neccessary I will slow to
complete stop until the ****wit is out of harms way in fromt of me.

He is tailgating you BECAUSE you are going bloody slow.

No, he's tailgaiting (ie driveing far too close) and making no attemp
to pass because he's a ****wit.

If someone tailgates me, I feel guilty for holding him up, as I am obviously in a slower vehicle.

That's no excuse for tailgaiting (ie driving too close). Slow down
some more and let them pass and be on their way.
