You mean the guys with one eye and no arms?

Given the choice, I know some people I'd rather be a passenger to when they're drunk than others who are sober. And by drunk I don't mean unable to stand up, I mean 4 or 5 pints.

You make it sound as though he was driving on narrow country lanes, he was driving on an A road. If a corner were so sharp that he couldn't see around it, then I doubt he would have been able to take it at 172mph, even in a 911. It could very well have been an empty dual carriageway that he was driving on, making the chances of him actually hitting anyone fairly slim. The biggest risk is of him losing control and crashing the car, chances are he's only killing himself.

And then they hit the brakes forcing you to wipeout into the ditch and crash. You manage to crawl out of the burning wreck of your car leaving your dead girlfriend/ wife/ children behind. Then the slow driver walks up to you laughing diabolically and you ask "Why? ... ugh... why did you DO that?" and he replies "IT IS THE LAW MUAHAHAHAHA" and then 10 other slow drivers show up and they circle you and close in on you slowly while chanting "One of us! One of us!" and the night swallows your screams of despair which noone will ever hear.

THE END

send this story to 10 people or you will get stuck behind a slow driver

Marry Me.

What really gets me is roads with needlessly low speed limits. Like dual carriageways that should be 70 but some nonce decided to make it 50 and then stick cameras on there to rob innocent drivers of their money. Or dual carriageways which should be at least 50 but are only 30 or 40. With cameras. Right pain in the arse it is.

I take it you hold a degree in civic engineering then?

Do you? Some roads just need faster speed limits, while others need slower. I was on the highway the other day and the speed limit was 70, amazingly I was only going 60 because I saw a kind of sharp turn coming up, and right off the road was about a 100 ft drop. As I went on the turn going about 55 (when the limit was 70), I noticed a LOT of pressure on the outer part of my truck. My tire would've screeched if I had been going 60, and I probably would've been close to out of control if I was going 70. That road should've had a sign saying "SHARP TURN, 45MPH!!!" but it didn't and because I'm not a complete idiot (just partial), I used my judgment to determine the danger of the turn, thus slowing down. Then miles and miles down the road, I get off this junction onto a highway that's 3 lanes on both sides, NO TRAFFIC!!! Plaines and flatland all around!!! And the speed limit was 55. Go figure. Cops were the only creatures lurking about this ridicules money making highway.

Yes they do try to rob people. And if you resist getting robbed, you get a FELONY CHARGE and go to jail. Sorry judge, I just didn't want to get jumped by the blue man!
