Even if they do indicate I still don't trust them , 95% of ppl not indicating or indicating incorectly . And as long smb don't indicating u know u have to observe him but the moment u starting to trust ppl they go where they do indicating u will end up in collision ...
Zain K that's how a filter lane is meant to be used though. It's why you get traffic signs now saying "please use both lanes." Merging before the merging point is actually what causes traffic jams.
For me tailgaters is a really bad one. When I was on holiday in the US, everyone leaves a pretty sensible gap. But here in the UK it's like everyone has some weird fetish for being as close to the car in front as possible.
I am oddly annoyed by punters on motorwars who either think indicating automatically means you must stop to let them do whatever they want, or the people that indicate to move lane, and move lane in the exact same second. By the time you've noticed the blinking light, they are already halfway over. I always keep a big ass space in front of me on the motorway in case I end up parked inside someone's boot, haha.
Could you do a video showing the best way to reverse in to a parking bay, such as if there are two cars parked either side and reversing from different angles.
Scott Greenhill not like how you're taught for the driving test because that's just silly and time consuming. Basically, you want to get in front of the space to a point where you can see at least 1 line in your side mirrors then turn either way until you can see one line in each of your door mirrors.
Just like to add a note about braking distances - On wet roads you should allow double the braking distance compared to a dry road, 'Oh, piss on that, I have got ABS!' you might say, and then get slammed into by the guy behind who had NOT got ABS. So keep your speed reasonable and your gaps wide if it's pissing down. Next snow - You need to allow TEN times the stopping distance if the road is covered with snow. It is incredibly difficult to deal with at times, but try not to brake at all except very gently, accelerate minutely ie: tiny pressure on the pedal, and if your cornering goes wrong take your feet OFF THE PEDALS and steer, steer, steer...
I find drivers constantly (perhaps suddenly) changing speed to be more of a bad habit and danger than ones going consistently slower than the speed limit. At least in the latter case you can plan ahead to get round them (OK it can be annoying and can lead to impatience and possible accidents especially on single carriageways). In the former case you see a slower car ahead, pull out to overtake then suddenly they're doing 20mph above the speed limit, possibly be forced to pull back in, oh no, now it's 20mph below again. Irritating on a motorway/ dual carriageway, can be downright dangerous on a single carriageway.
Definitely. I've found when you're trying to overtake someone on the motorway and they speed up and down constantly it's incredibly frustrating. Especially if there's a queue of people behind you trying to go faster too.
Not planning ahead can get you screwed, and not using this little cheeky leaver called indicator won't be doing much favours either lol good vid, keep up the good work bud!!
That's why driving race car style and looking out for others mistakes is your defense against other idiots on the road you can use it to avoid a sandwich from cars, merging to the same lane, etc. Road ragers.
My partner just got his licence in August. He's confident and all but the two things that bother me most are that he doesn't leave enough space behind vehicles on the motorway (and doesn't slow down if they start braking), and he has a habit of keeping too left in his lane that sometimes the line of the road is in the middle of the passenger side seat. He's so afraid of being too far right, but he doesn't see it.
People that suddenly stick their nose out too far at junctions as you're approaching and you shit yourself and end up having to swerve out the way potentially into oncoming traffic.
I got tailgated by a damn truck yesterday, I was going the limit, wasn't slowing down the traffic. The driver got real close and started honking. I don't know if there was something going on behind him that I couldn't see or if he was really angry that I wasn't driving faster. I was really kind of scared in that situation. I am a new driver and I have a lot of anxiety about causing accidents and a big truck distracting me on a high traffic road really was not helping anything. I dunno what he was trying to achive.
Once i was on a two lane road which was merging into the right lane, was driving slowly and merging into the right lane and noticed the person in the right lane behind me was driving a bit too quick so i had to quickly move left and hit and kurb my wheel. after that i just tailgated him until he put his foot down (had a black box then). Seriously at the end of the day you dont want nothing happening to your car.
The most annoying thing for me has got to be either when people forget to use indicators, they indicate WRONG (indicate left then turn right etc) or if they or when people are in the wrong lanes and end up honking like its your fault.
I don't know about England, but in my country, when on a crowded roundabout, people look the other way while entering in a speeding manner just to scare you into letting them pass, it gets to me every time.
always leaving the car in 1st gear after stopping the car (so tht he can getaway faster on a red light) the worst thing is he left the car in first gear even after he turn it off! And when he came back and started the car again the car launched forwards! very dangerous
I don't know if it's a bad habit but if I'm driving on a motorway (which I don't do regularly, Northern Ireland doesn't have many, also mostly 2 lane) and someone has completed an overtake but not move back into the left lane, while sitting below the speed limit, I sit behind them with my right indicator on and occasionally flash my headlights at them until they move over, I do this instead of undertaking them. I have in 1 past occasion tailgated in this situation because they were persistent to sit at 60 in the right lane after overtaking someone doing mid 50s and cutting me off to do so.
When I'm in my 1.9tdi VRS I have a habit of double clutching and swerving in an out of traffic. As soon as I go into the 5 series, I drive far more sedately and stick to pure straight line speed
rolling back a lot not letting pass parking in d road lights not working not setting mirrors high beam not giving signal over speed , under speed turning at tight places parking on turns wrong side overtake splashing road puddles onto others ...
5:13 that's the point if someone's giving you a driving lesson it feels wrong to say stfu but I am sick of being told to pull in to open traffic when I know for a fact that the following 40mph traffic will be on my ass before I'm at 30 mph
In Scotland tailgating is something people don't even care about now or people who pull out on you. We usually acknowledge the person doing so and just carry on not caring.
Not really terrible ones imo but ones i've managed to pick up even before passing my test: Coasting in neutral up to junctions/lights Hooking steering wheel to steer round sharp bends palming steering wheel. luckily I seem to somehow lose the bad habits in lessons and on the test I failed, but when driving with a family member, they all crop up.
thing is does putting the clutch down whilst approaching a junction / lights save fuel or does engine braking while approaching a set of lights then pressing in the clutch save fuel?
Zain K I don't think either save more fuel than the other as in both the engine is idling and due to you not accelerating the fuel is cut off from the injectors and therefore not being burnt in either case. It's more to do with brake wear. Engine braking is much more effective at reducing the speed of the vehicle than coasting with the clutch pressed or in neutral. This means that your dependence on the brakes to bring the car to a halt is much less when engine braking than coasting, so your brakes should last longer.
The worst of the habit is definitely people changing lanes or turning without giving any indicators.... Damn.. it is so unnerving... Alex... Thank you once again for nice video. Will you please make one for the best turning and overtaking practices? Cheerio
Where I live we have a big problem with people who don't understand the rules of the road, and they make up all sorts of fake rules that don't exist. A lot of people here don't understand how right of way works, and that makes something simple like a 4 way intersection really sketchy. Just today I had a guy in a box truck pulled over on the side of the road with his four-ways on and the back open naturally everyone was going around him when he randomly pulls out in front of me without indicating and continues to drive with the four-ways on and turns again onto a side street again without using his indicators.
People that try desperately to make the yellow light. Almost got into an accident a few times when I'm starting to go on a green light and an idiot just shoots past in front of my car
When people want to turn right into a main road and they pull fully into the left hand lane and block everyone so they only have to look for a gap on the right
People not checking their blind spots, especially in car parks, probably the dangerous parts of driving. I was going to reverse out of a parking place, checked all mirrors and didn't see any cars, checked one blind spot and there was a car coming.
hegotaspare Yes however this is easy to avoid if you adjust your mirrors properly and look over your shoulder. What's irritating is the people who don't do this and cause car companies to put irritating blind spot monitors that nag you on the car.
Really Annoys me when people drift lanes in city centres. This happened to me the other day. Some old guy was in the lane to my right going around a roundabout (3 lane roundabout), he drifted into my lane once but i was a little bit behind him so i just lightly braked. He then proceeded to do it again but when he was just in front of my nose. I had to slam on the brakes and naturally beeped my horn in frustration. I personally think that after you pass a certain age you should be made to take a check test every 10 years. It becomes unsafe when very old people who can't react as fast are driving dangerously on the roads too!
The worst of the worst are the professional drivers who think because they are professional drivers the don't need to follow when law, and they do all kind of dodgy shit on the road.
60mph is way too fast for a single lane especially on a single carriageway. On coming vehicles both doing 60mph with 1 of them overtaking is is like one vehicle doing 120mph towards a brick wall They are not restricted for usage like on motorways.
My city is the worst. New Jersey has the worst drivers ever on the road half of the people don’t have a drivers license he just making up the only moves. It is going to cause a bad accident one of these days they don’t starve.
Tailgating should get your license revoked for at least 12 months. It's especially dangerous on the highway and at night where the person in front cannot see what behind the real car because the headlights from the rear car are right in your face.
People who drive fast on curves are really stupid, people who cut in front of each other last minute, people who are distracted, people who speed at school zones (really??) people who speed anywhere, people who tailgate, people who move from lane to lane... more and more people are driving like this now. It's horrible.
I obey speed limits, and I'm good enough to stay in the slow lane most of the time. But even when I'm in the slow lane, idiots tailgate me as if I'm camped out in the fast lane. They sometimes blast their horns to say "Come on!!! Move your ass!!!!" Also, I'm good about coming to a complete stop at a stop sign. There have been times when I came to a complete stop like I'm supposed to, the driver behind me sees that nothing is coming, I've had idiots blast their horns then too. Aggressive drivers, who attempt to bully me when I'm doing the right thing has been my biggest driving pet peeve for years!!!!! When a driver behaves like that towards me, I get just as offended as a black person gets if a white person calls him the N-word. When a driver tries to bully me, the phrase that goes through my mind is "TAKE HIS VEHICLE AWAY FROM HIM!!!!" I personally really would like to take his vehicle away from him!! Then I'd like to drain both the oil and the antifreeze, and put two quarts of sodium silicate in the engine crank case. Then, I want to get behind the wheel of his vehicle, start it up, and RED LINE IT!!!!! REVV IT ALL THE WAY UP TO 8,000 RPM. When the pistons expand, the engine will not only seize up, but the inertia at 8,000 will cause the engine to grenade itself. It will shatter the engine block. Then, put it on a flatbed, and transport it to the junkyard, and the engine having been destroyed will ensure that the forklift will take the vehicle off the flatbed, and put it in the "FLATTENING MACHINE!!!" Better known as the car crusher. Then I'd like to jerk the lever, that brings the crusher lid down, and reduces the vehicle to a pancake. That's my fantasy for getting back at aggressive drivers who try to bully me, and pressure me to speed or treat a stop sign like a yield sign.
What advice can you give to people like me who have passed their test but haven't drove in months? (5-6 months in my case) Also thanks man your videos helped me pass my test in may and i have a car and it has MOT. Just saving for tax and insurance
Hey ninjamat, in my experience when i got my first car its best to do short local journeys so you get used to your new car and familiarise yourself back into driving. after that just drive alone to places as you will get that independence
Jacob Graham thats when i shift with diesel, then 40mph 4th, 55-60mph 5th. but yeah like you said depends on torque range of engine/gearbox ratios/turbo
On a race track short shifting is a no no. On a road however short shifting is not a bad habit and prolonged over revving will wear the engine. Short shifting can also save fuel in the long run. Up steep hills however you shouldn't short shift.
i tailgate knowing the risks but people who hog the fast lane even at the max speed limit should always go the slow lane if the tailgater wants to go fast and pay a ticket let him earn one
Whats this fast lane and slow lane you speak of? Ive been driving 15 years, 1000 miles a week and I've never seen a slow or a fast lane! Its lane 1,2,3 (or more). The speed limit is the same for all 3 lanes. As soon as people realise this, people will start using the motorways properly. Don't be the problem.
Hardly anyone uses the motorway properly. The driving test doesn't take you onto the motorway. You should always be in the left hand lane unless you are overtaking. Hogging the middle lane can be dangerous, especially if you are travelling slower than traffic in the left hand lane. You should also leave AT LEAST 2 seconds between you and the car in front and that's only in dry conditions. (4 seconds for wet and 10 seconds for treacherous conditions.) Most people it's like less than a 1 second gap. You need to think that if someone breaks suddenly in front, will you stop before you crash into the back of them?
People who hog the middle lane of the motorway are the worst people in the world! If they insist in hogging it, I don’t mind if they’re driving 70mph+ but not when they’re driving 50mph. Move to the left where you belong and let me use the middle lane to overtake you!
Even if they're doing 70+ they should be in the left hand lane if it's free. People mistake the left hand lane for being the "slow" lane and the right hand lane for being a "fast" lane. The highway code says something like you must stay in the left hand lane unless overtaking other vehicles and you must not pass on the left. Personally, I think there shouldn't be a speed limit on the motorway. I mean, if its empty then why can't you do 100 mph? Cars have gotten much safer over recent years with stopping distances being much shorter than the ones mentioned in the highway code.
Worst I've experienced is just plane zoning out whilst driving like looking through things and not at them and then realising there's someone crossing ahead of me
I disagree I do 55 60 on motaway it allows me more thinking time when it say at night or low traffic I do may 70+. The most dangerous drivers are people who do 70+ regardless of weather or traffic conditions plus I save fuel.
Because we're stuck in our ways xD. And everyone here knows how fast 30 or 40 mph is visually. So to change the system would hard for a lot of people. In europe I believe they started with km/h? So they never had to change it either. And besides in the uk to use both imperial and metric units. Like saying "im 6ft tall" but then say "This is x cm long", in the same breath, is quite normal.
Australia went full metric in 1975. It seems strange ( it's the UK after all) you didn't do it to be in standard with the EU. Instead, tout seem to have had this solidarity with the U.S, even though Australia managed to convert. You are very unlike the U.S in many other ways but stick steadfastly to this. Mmmkay!
James French I think it's also part of "British identity" we drive on the "proper" side of the road and use the "proper" units. Km/h and driving on the right hand side if the road is just the exact opposite of what we do. And we are proud (maybe wrongly) to be different. And it'll be a cold day in hell before British people give up something we see as very British xD. It's got nothing to do with Americans :) And besides a in the UK we never really consider ourselves European. Even a "remainer" like myself. I suppose we like the idea of being our own thing.
People not indicating annoys me, especially on roundabouts
Luke Davies Yes people who don't use their turn signals are infuriating especially considering its one of the easiest things to do.
Even if they do indicate I still don't trust them , 95% of ppl not indicating or indicating incorectly . And as long smb don't indicating u know u have to observe him but the moment u starting to trust ppl they go where they do indicating u will end up in collision ...
Another one is when someone tailgates at night and all you can see is their lights beaming into your car!!!!
Make a POV driving video with a shift and foot cam. It would be very nice to see driving in the city and your foot work!
Yes!
YESSS!!!
Yes! Vote
Yeah that'd be pretty cool
PLOT TWIST: HE CANT DRIVE AND/OR HASN'T PASSED HIS TEST.
You have a great radio voice. So relaxing 😂
People cutting in filter lanes at last minute to gain one space, realllllyyyyy gets me!
the government should put cones on the filter markings at a certain distance to prevent these impatient drivers from cutting in.
Zain K that's how a filter lane is meant to be used though. It's why you get traffic signs now saying "please use both lanes." Merging before the merging point is actually what causes traffic jams.
You’re so right about the 40mph drivers
I also seem to be wearing the BRIGHTEST shirt in the world
Paynos the lighting from the car.
Upside you get a mysterious look with half your face shaded
Advert for Daz.
Brighter than my future!
L_Tillett brighter than his future 😏😛
For me tailgaters is a really bad one.
When I was on holiday in the US, everyone leaves a pretty sensible gap. But here in the UK it's like everyone has some weird fetish for being as close to the car in front as possible.
Dan Coulson Where in the US? People in NYC and NJ are notorious for tailgating.
Do a POV driving video of you just driving casually!
Yes!
I'd like to see a video of you out on the road just talking through points and what's happening around you.
I am oddly annoyed by punters on motorwars who either think indicating automatically means you must stop to let them do whatever they want, or the people that indicate to move lane, and move lane in the exact same second. By the time you've noticed the blinking light, they are already halfway over. I always keep a big ass space in front of me on the motorway in case I end up parked inside someone's boot, haha.
Yes! Someone who also notices these 40mph plums. They absolutely infuriate me and are everywhere here in Northern Ireland.
That's not there fault u have to do 45 for a year
Could you do a video showing the best way to reverse in to a parking bay, such as if there are two cars parked either side and reversing from different angles.

Agreed. During the snow its good practice to say in a higher gear as possible to avoid using too many revs.
I love this channel I passed my test two days ago. Watch your stuff all the time
2 month in? You must have done at least a couple of these by now!
Tailgating is the worst, I hate people who do it

We get a lot of snow here in Western New York and I've had a lot of fun fish tailing. I would like to here your tips on taking slippery corners.
good advice man, cool video, always enjoy. I have sent I stop at lights then the car in front rolls on another half car length. have good one

5:13 that's the point if someone's giving you a driving lesson it feels wrong to say stfu but I am sick of being told to pull in to open traffic when I know for a fact that the following 40mph traffic will be on my ass before I'm at 30 mph
In Scotland tailgating is something people don't even care about now or people who pull out on you. We usually acknowledge the person doing so and just carry on not caring.
Not really terrible ones imo but ones i've managed to pick up even before passing my test:
Coasting in neutral up to junctions/lights
Hooking steering wheel to steer round sharp bends
palming steering wheel.
luckily I seem to somehow lose the bad habits in lessons and on the test I failed, but when driving with a family member, they all crop up.
I do palming around car parks quite a lot too, way to easy to get used to haha. Get your next test booked mate ;)
I booked it straight after whilst moaning to my mate about failing my test lol, in two weeks today!
Hope it goes well for you Lewis.
thing is does putting the clutch down whilst approaching a junction / lights save fuel or does engine braking while approaching a set of lights then pressing in the clutch save fuel?
Zain K I don't think either save more fuel than the other as in both the engine is idling and due to you not accelerating the fuel is cut off from the injectors and therefore not being burnt in either case. It's more to do with brake wear. Engine braking is much more effective at reducing the speed of the vehicle than coasting with the clutch pressed or in neutral. This means that your dependence on the brakes to bring the car to a halt is much less when engine braking than coasting, so your brakes should last longer.
The worst of the habit is definitely people changing lanes or turning without giving any indicators.... Damn.. it is so unnerving...
Alex... Thank you once again for nice video.
Will you please make one for the best turning and overtaking practices?
Cheerio
Cannot stand tailgating, definitely the worst!
40mph drivers 🙄 that’s what my instructor used to call them !
I've got a bad habit as well,while I'm changing gear i press a little the gas
Where I live we have a big problem with people who don't understand the rules of the road, and they make up all sorts of fake rules that don't exist.

Like my driving instructor said the worst drivers are the ones what go 40mph for example all the time like you said, and they are out there sadly. :)
People that try desperately to make the yellow light. Almost got into an accident a few times when I'm starting to go on a green light and an idiot just shoots past in front of my car
driving with the knees is less than ideal
When people want to turn right into a main road and they pull fully into the left hand lane and block everyone so they only have to look for a gap on the right
People not indicating on roundabouts
If its a clear road drive near the roads limit but extra care in busy places or more parked cars
This guy is a legend! One of the laidz

One person was indicating to go left so I began to cross the road, but I ended up walking quickly because she just drove at me.
Driving with family before doing your test is a horrible idea

Tailgating should get your license revoked for at least 12 months. It's especially dangerous on the highway and at night where the person in front cannot see what behind the real car
because the headlights from the rear car are right in your face.
Imma continue doing it
Can you make another first car video as there are a lot of new cars and changes in prices since the last video.
People who drive fast on curves are really stupid, people who cut in front of each other last minute, people who are distracted, people who speed at school zones (really??) people who speed anywhere, people who tailgate, people who move from lane to lane... more and more people are driving like this now. It's horrible.
I do all of these and will continue
Speeding is something that most of us can handle. Speed limits are way too low.

Throwing fresh shit at someone's windscreen on the M1 is pretty bad.
Driving all the time in the fast lane and not let any car pass
Jarri Ullah Its called lane 3. No such thing as a slow or fast lane in the UK.
It's called fast lane because it's for overtaking not driving ;)
@@ollylewinTthat's a US term.
I obey speed limits, and I'm good enough to stay in the slow lane most of the time. But even when I'm in the slow lane, idiots tailgate me as if I'm camped out in the fast lane. They sometimes blast their horns to say "Come on!!! Move your ass!!!!" Also, I'm good about coming to a complete stop at a stop sign. There have been times when I came to a complete stop like I'm supposed to, the driver behind me sees that nothing is coming, I've had idiots blast their horns then too. Aggressive drivers, who attempt to bully me when I'm doing the right thing has been my biggest driving pet peeve for years!!!!! When a driver behaves like that towards me, I get just as offended as a black person gets if a white person calls him the N-word.
When a driver tries to bully me, the phrase that goes through my mind is "TAKE HIS VEHICLE AWAY FROM HIM!!!!" I personally really would like to take his vehicle away from him!! Then I'd like to drain both the oil and the antifreeze, and put two quarts of sodium silicate in the engine crank case. Then, I want to get behind the wheel of his vehicle, start it up, and RED LINE IT!!!!! REVV IT ALL THE WAY UP TO 8,000 RPM. When the pistons expand, the engine will not only seize up, but the inertia at 8,000 will cause the engine to grenade itself. It will shatter the engine block. Then, put it on a flatbed, and transport it to the junkyard, and the engine having been destroyed will ensure that the forklift will take the vehicle off the flatbed, and put it in the "FLATTENING MACHINE!!!" Better known as the car crusher. Then I'd like to jerk the lever, that brings the crusher lid down, and reduces the vehicle to a pancake. That's my fantasy for getting back at aggressive drivers who try to bully me, and pressure me to speed or treat a stop sign like a yield sign.
I hate people that don’t use there turn signals
Do a video on whether it's better to rent a car or buy one if you don't have much money
What advice can you give to people like me who have passed their test but haven't drove in months? (5-6 months in my case)
Also thanks man your videos helped me pass my test in may and i have a car and it has MOT. Just saving for tax and insurance
Hey ninjamat, in my experience when i got my first car its best to do short local journeys so you get used to your new car and familiarise yourself back into driving. after that just drive alone to places as you will get that independence
Zain K Thanks man I appreciate it
id say i was a good driver,
bad habit: shifting gears too early (should be diesels 2500+rpm, petrols 3500+)
Depends if the petrol is turbocharged. If I revved my TSI past 3500 before changing gears I'd be stuck in second gear doing 30mph haha
Jacob Graham thats when i shift with diesel, then 40mph 4th, 55-60mph 5th. but yeah like you said depends on torque range of engine/gearbox ratios/turbo
On a race track short shifting is a no no. On a road however short shifting is not a bad habit and prolonged over revving will wear the engine. Short shifting can also save fuel in the long run. Up steep hills however you shouldn't short shift.
Hi
THE GAMING WOLF goodbye
i tailgate knowing the risks but people who hog the fast lane even at the max speed limit should always go the slow lane if the tailgater wants to go fast and pay a ticket let him earn one
338 1024 imo tailgaters are some of the worst people on the road. Be prepared to get brake checked if you tailgate me!
Whats this fast lane and slow lane you speak of? Ive been driving 15 years, 1000 miles a week and I've never seen a slow or a fast lane! Its lane 1,2,3 (or more). The speed limit is the same for all 3 lanes. As soon as people realise this, people will start using the motorways properly. Don't be the problem.
Hardly anyone uses the motorway properly. The driving test doesn't take you onto the motorway. You should always be in the left hand lane unless you are overtaking. Hogging the middle lane can be dangerous, especially if you are travelling slower than traffic in the left hand lane. You should also leave AT LEAST 2 seconds between you and the car in front and that's only in dry conditions. (4 seconds for wet and 10 seconds for treacherous conditions.) Most people it's like less than a 1 second gap. You need to think that if someone breaks suddenly in front, will you stop before you crash into the back of them?
People who hog the middle lane of the motorway are the worst people in the world! If they insist in hogging it, I don’t mind if they’re driving 70mph+ but not when they’re driving 50mph. Move to the left where you belong and let me use the middle lane to overtake you!
Even if they're doing 70+ they should be in the left hand lane if it's free. People mistake the left hand lane for being the "slow" lane and the right hand lane for being a "fast" lane. The highway code says something like you must stay in the left hand lane unless overtaking other vehicles and you must not pass on the left. Personally, I think there shouldn't be a speed limit on the motorway. I mean, if its empty then why can't you do 100 mph? Cars have gotten much safer over recent years with stopping distances being much shorter than the ones mentioned in the highway code.
Competitive driving
Paynos are u a hip hop fan ??
hip hop sucks
Notification squad 😅
My maaaaan!
Worst I've experienced is just plane zoning out whilst driving like looking through things and not at them and then realising there's someone crossing ahead of me
Gonna get wheel spin because someone's driving a fast car? Whatcha chatting?
ello Lads!
You said hello lads but I'm a girl watching this😂
Honorary lad!
I disagree I do 55 60 on motaway it allows me more thinking time when it say at night or low traffic I do may 70+. The most dangerous drivers are people who do 70+ regardless of weather or traffic conditions plus I save fuel.
Plus at busy times I will catch up with people doing 70+ and I use less fuel.
Why do you British people still cling to MPH. I cannot relate. I thought you lot adopted KM/H.
Because we're stuck in our ways xD. And everyone here knows how fast 30 or 40 mph is visually. So to change the system would hard for a lot of people. In europe I believe they started with km/h? So they never had to change it either. And besides in the uk to use both imperial and metric units. Like saying "im 6ft tall" but then say "This is x cm long", in the same breath, is quite normal.
Australia went full metric in 1975. It seems strange ( it's the UK after all) you didn't do it to be in standard with the EU. Instead, tout seem to have had this solidarity with the U.S, even though Australia managed to convert. You are very unlike the U.S in many other ways but stick steadfastly to this. Mmmkay!
James French I think it's also part of "British identity" we drive on the "proper" side of the road and use the "proper" units. Km/h and driving on the right hand side if the road is just the exact opposite of what we do. And we are proud (maybe wrongly) to be different. And it'll be a cold day in hell before British people give up something we see as very British xD. It's got nothing to do with Americans :)
And besides a in the UK we never really consider ourselves European. Even a "remainer" like myself. I suppose we like the idea of being our own thing.
