If I was in the overtaking lane, then maybe that would be an issue, but drivers just overtake if they're going faster than me. Honestly, I didn't think we're particularly chilled out here, but it seems we are by comparison to what your expectations suggest.

Yeah, I'm more of a if you are afraid to drive, your probably should take public transport type of person.

So if the speed limit was 40 MPH, how fast would you drive?

Even if in the slow lane, if you're going too slow, that will cause people in thebslow lane to have to merge in to the fast lane just to do the speed limit. Don't you think that backs up everyone?

Oh, on a 40 road, I'll do 40. I'm talking about the motorway where the limit is 70mph. I'll do 65 in the slow lane. Where there's no overtaking lane, it's down to conditions and traffic that determine the speed I'll choose.
