You've all got the same speed limits you pricks! You're the only prick here if you think that's the case. Really? So the trucks I regularly see holding up queues of cars on the M25 side by side on three lanes all doing exactly 56MPH are not likely to be limited? THey're not all doing exactly the same speed. |
Over the 15 years I've been driving them, the limiters range between 53
and 58MPH.

Moreover, since said moron typically builds up a queue of dozens of cars, this effect is significantly increased. /tongue in cheek 3.6 days = 1% of your life? 1% of a year, maybe.... |
