| Another part of driving that is very frustrating. I drive for a living motly in a class1 hgv. If the police want people to take their signs more seriously then they must learn to turn them off when the incident is over. Ive seen signs left on for 3 days. Regularly signs are left on for many hours af... |

| very true.........but then the motorway police while driving on the m-way still only seemed concerned with speeding drivers. they still have to pull the driver over and issue a ticket. why not start pulling drivers over for staying in the middle lane or tailgating or any other dangerous driving habi... |

| hey there I'm not going to vote as your poll really doesn't cover the reality of long distance driving. Fully rested I can drive for 200 miles or more at 56 on a quiet road or m-way. Although tiredness is not the problem, boredom is, attention begins to wander and then were into an area that is real... |

| hey there i dont think your poll is asking the right question. i drive anything upto a 44ton rig and although there have been times when tiredness does have an effect its not the biggest factor. 56 is fine most of the time in heavy trafic.

| There are far far worse things a driver can do than speeding. Why are we all so hung up with speeding , wake up and deal with the real serious issues.[/b] I get really hacked off when all I hear is safe driving equals lower speeds.
