Know what you mean
I hate it when people tail you to make you move over. Makes me slow down to 20 and crawl along with them stuck behind

Re: Dont you hate it when......

Don't worry it happens in any car, my laguna doing 30mph in a 30 zone on a normal single lane road often gets overtaken....

Re: Dont you hate it when......

Just let them A lot of cars can do more than 80 without a problem, a 999cc uno doesn't have a huge amount of go above that point....

Re: Dont you hate it when......

I don't speed much, I wouldn't really on a dual carriage way, not above 80mph no way, however, on an open motorway 80mph is nothing in a 1.8 litre car....

Re: Dont you hate it when......

i do let em pass lol, me 999cc aint quick enough, the other cars are all beasts compared to my motor, but it kicks all them in town on rounderbouts. The other day i had a race off with a 1 litre honda jazz, i left it in the distance hehe, Uno is so light when compared to a modern car! Top speed is bout 95 in a uno i thinkkkkkk!

Re: Dont you hate it when......

Yep about 95 - you will get more with a nice wind and slope etc. but you will also get more dropping it off a cliff, so a little irrelevant

However, 80+ isn't exactly on tap.

Don't worry, a few years time you will be on of those wanting to go past.

80mph on a motorway is generally 100x safer than 35 in a 30.....blah de blah
