Inefficient road usage (not making the most of our roads!)
I've noticed a few drivers don't follow golden rules of keeping traffic moving on normal A roads and even motorways recently:
- Not driving near the national speed limit (60mph). Trundling along at 40mph creates a tailback with often no safe overtaking spots. Solution: Drive the same speed as everyone else, like they do in the US, an evenly spaced convoy ;)
- Speed cameras and traps, at fixed locations and fixed speed limits delaying traffic 24hrs a day when they only need to rate-limit traffic during rush hour. I've been on dual-carriageways which are empty at midnight, still with a 50mph speed limit. Likewise driving past a school in on a Sunday is still a 30mph zone!
- On motorways some drivers forget to move back to the slower lanes when they've finished their overtaking manoeuvre. On four-lane motorways I see people trundling along lane 2 and 3 at 65mph, which bungs up the fast-lane with more traffic than the rest of the road (undertaking not being allowed!).
