No. Truth is that everyone believes they are perfect, and you seem to believe you are more perfect than others. Here's a hint: you are not. I would bet you break the road laws at least ten times a day. You won't know this, but you will.

Your time would be better spent watching your own driving rather than sensationalizing, apparently for your own amusement, the driving of somebody else. Not even those charged with monitoring the driving, i.e. the Police, are perfect.

Of course, if you believe you have a higher purpose, they may be recruiting.

We have, at #1, someone who saw something once.. Sure, that's happened to ALL of us. So, your "experience" is worse than mine? Sell it to the MSM. they'll make a buck.

At #2 Someone who saw something, and it was way worse than #1.

There could be way more, if you look.

Driving is a part of living at this time. Are you perfect at either one of these things??? If you are, can you please post how you are perfect at living? Because clearly nobody is perfect at driving.. And, if you cannot do either of these things, why not just shut up? It's not hard.

Can't remember the last time I abused someone for obeying the road rules. The idiots in question, if they wanted to press on at greater than the speed limit could simply have overtaken us when it was safe to do so but instead they had to be aggro.

Oh, and there was a prominent sign at the start of the roadworks that said that police were enforcing the speed limits, which it turns out that they were.

Quite an insight to your thinking.. I've said it already, but i'll say it again...: maybe your time would be better spent living your own life... You only get one.

Can we now hear from you, seemingly our new arbiter, what other rules you seem to think we should endure?

That was not, not once, the premise you started this thread on. You started this thread on a " i'm good and you aren't" premise, and you know it.

If you have something to say, don't hide it behind some pathetic 'I'm good' theme. You are not good, and you won't be until you are honest.

My son once told me that my CBR1000F would do at least 200km/h (after he’d ridden it).

Dunno how he knew. [bigwhistle]

On that theory, they can do 270, but with the milage on mine and my no so light frame shall we say - I know that number is incorrect. Closer to 250 (I believe) [bigwhistle]
