So, I jumped into the thread, explaining this with the speed limiter as regards my car. The way everything is set up needing valid road signs and the appropriate speed limit on your SatNav, it won't work. Of course the obnoxious guy rounds on me...I NOW HAVE A TROLL!!!!!
That's one example of the disgraceful behaviour we see these days. Nobody has the right, either online (cowardly) or face to face, to berate anyone else in that way. How dare they?
Then there is the issue of speed limits. 20 mph is, presumably, the upper limit, not the required speed. A driver has every right to be driving at 18 mph when the limit is 20. People who sound their horns or display aggressive behaviour to people keeping to the speed limit, or even 2 mph under it, or even 10 mph under it, is just plain bullying and dangerous driving. I don't suppose the police will do anything to stop it, but it should be some sort of driving offence.
A story comes to mind - not the same thing, but it is about driving. Years ago Neil lived on the other side of the Island from us and the way from there to here was across moorland. The road was only actually paved a few years ago but it was single track all the way with passing places. If you saw a car coming the other way and you were past your nearest passing space while the other drive had a passing space available, courtesy and practice indicated that you could keep driving and the other driver would pull into the available passing space.
One day Neil was in just that position. He had passed a passing place and there was another a couple of hundred years ahead when another car appeared over the hill, kept driving and went past the passing place meeting Neil in a narrow part of the track with no space to manoevre. So Neil stopped where he was. The other driver clearly thought that Neil should back off to the passing place behind him a good number of yards back along the track. A difficult manoevre although Neil is a good driver and could have done it. But he didn't. He sat, quite at ease, perfectly patiently, waiting for the other driver to do something about the situation. Neither of them got out of their car but just sat looking at each other through their windscreens. Thus they sat for coming up on half an hour (Neil at least was in no hurry to get anywhere) when, finally the other driver backed off and into the passing place a few yards behind where she should have gone in the first place. You don't win competitions of patience with Neil.
Last year DIL came in to tell us that she had met a woman who was telling the story from the other viewpoint - obviously not to be forgotten and still rankling even after so many years. DIL recognised the event the woman was talking about and could hardly keep her composure! She was still laughing when she arrived here to tell us.
