If an inconsiderate driver is holding up half a mile of traffic, he/she should pull over. I don't disagree that slow drivers should pull over when there is an opportunity to do so to let traffic past. I would contend that a road in which it is impossible to overtake safely anywhere is probably not capable of supporting traffic moving at 50-60mph. I suspect what might have been actually happening here was an example of what is to my mind the worst form of driving, where someone drives very slowly though bendy bits, but then speeds up when the road straightens out, preventing people from overtaking. I have no problem whatsoever with people driving slowly, there may be a million reasons why it's the right speed for them, but this 25mph through the bends/50mph on the straights nonsense is extremely frustrating. One reason why the Plus 8 is so rewarding, it is easy to overtake the typical modern driver who proceeds at 45mph on a 50 mph limit that was, until last year, a "national limit" road. The only problem with "ballistic" overtaking, motorcycle style, is that it frightens the driver of the car being overtaken as it seems these people don't use their mirrors, so have no idea that I'm there. I now mostly drive with headlights on and flash main beam before overtaking.... I have often found that I have held up traffic when in the Morgan and whilst travelling at the designated speed limit (not below at least! )for a particular stretch of road. The mirror is full of those jostling to overtake each other so according to these posts one should just pull over and let them overtake at way above the designated speed limit?
