Sorry Simon, disagree with you 100%Originally Posted by SimonH
90% of the time I'm in agreement with you Les, but on this occasion
So you're a professional driver but can't judge speeds or distances
Who's weThe law also says that doing 80-85mph is wrong
If you don't leave a big enough gap to stop if someone is stationary when you approach then you deserve to have your licence taken away from you
Ok, of course I can judge speed and distances, I'm pointing out a simple fact that pulling in and out over what may be a 4 hour-8 hour journey - or any journey - would definitely lead to more chance of driver error.
I don't know what motorways you drive on Simon, but on the M1, M62 and A1, you get very few people doing 70mph dead on. We are talking realism here.
For many years, the AA and other credible motoring organisations have said the speed limit is too low - look at Germany - where there is or was no speed limit on the Autobahn's.
I would say at least 70% of motorists go faster than 70mph.
Regarding you third point; of course that's true, but again in the real world, many drivers do not leave enough of a gap - I do.
