That is because that particular piece of wisdom relates to a certain situation, not all (as I suspect you already know). However the received knowledge nowadays seems to suggest you can apply it in all situations.

Anyone driving at 45mph on a 60 road should be shot. What makes it worse is those guys speed up when they enter a 40 zoneThe court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

Why is it always 45? Is it they think the limit is 40? why do they then break the limit in a 40 zone? Doesn't matter where you are in the country it's always 45Originally posted by TrollThe court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

They have their attention on everything but the road, much like motorway middle lane hoggers.Comment

Yep, but the really nasty one was when a lorry going Northbound crossed the central reservation, and so killed a few people going Southbound. That sort of thing does scare me.

Motorway driving needs to be part of the test.Originally posted by VectraMan
If drivers remembered or even knew the following there would be far fewer accidents.
1/ At the end of the slip road you are supposed to give way, not the other way around
2/ The middle lane is for overtaking, the outside lane overtaking only, move to the left when safe to do so
3/ Keep a 2 second gap
4/ Don't tailgate lorries and pull out infront of faster moving traffic
