Do you know the National Speed Limit?

[mat1978]

..on a Single Carriageway. I ask because there are people who do not seem to know. Now I dont know whether its because they dont understand what the National Speed Limit sign is or whether they dont know the speed limits.

 

I was stuck behind some **** today doing 35mph on a Nat Speed Limit single carriage way - from Morrisons at Catcliffe under the M1 toward Brinsworth. This is just the one example of many.

 

IMO these people are just as dangerous as those in excess of the limit.

 

 

No answers on the thread please, it would be nice to see how many of us get it wrong.

Yes, i know what it is.

 

Hope this helps.....

The national speed limit doesn't mean that anyone has to drive at that speed. If the person in front of you wasn't comfortable with driving faster than 35 mph, and they weren't driving dangerously, then they were quite within their rights.

 

National speed limits, for anyone who doesn't know.

Who thinks it's 50?

 

I'm pretty sure it's 60, and I don't drive.

Dont be ridiculous. I take it you were the one who has it wrong then? 35 mph on that road is dangerous.

If they weren't comfortable / confident with driving above 35 then they were showing undue hesitancy, delaying others and would have failed their driving test. They may have been drinking.

 

Either way they shouldn't be allowed on the road.

Woops, I put 40 and I don't even know how to drive.

I must havin been towing a caravan at the time or imagining i was.

[savbaby]

i know it;)

 

but as ann said, its a limit but if the person does not feel comfortable going that fast then they can do what speed they like, i think there is a lower limit though of about 30mph bt dont quote me on it!
