The Secret Brotherhood of C***s

Over the years I've noticed that people in estate cars are more likely to be slow. Especially those big Volvo estates.

Perhaps it's because when you are driving something large, you need to exercise more care and attention, rather than just fling it around the bends and hope for the best ?

I always make sure the chaffeur keeps the Bentley under 40, otherwise the wear and tear will be hideous, and more importantly, it's difficult to keep one's Cristal at the correct poise for cultured drinking.

They tend to be driving 4x4s these days.

travelling at 35 mph on a 60 mph road

You do understand the concept of a speed limit I assume? This is the maximum permissable speed under the laws of this country, not a recommended average

Just saying, like.

superiority complex, like.
feel the need to correct internet ramblings of someone, like. why does it matter, like.
maybe not everyone has English as first/main language, like.

If you're in a line of traffic travelling at 35 mph on a 60 mph road, the car at the front is driven by a member of the The Secret Brotherhood of C***s.

They do it on purpose. No-one is that ignorant of other road-users.

What annoys me is that even if the speed limits drops to 40 or 30, they will STILL be driving at 35 mph.

I think you missed the point, and perhaps that's my fault for not making it clear, sorry.

The point was your sentence was punctated by lots of "I's", hence it was noticable that you emphasised the "me" factor.

I can see what's confused you. You thought me highlighting the "I's" was because of poor grammar. It's not. You've completely misinterpreted my post.

The point is that the main focus of your sentence was yourself, and the inconvenience you feel, and the trouble you experience, and the hassle you get.

In other words, it's "me me me".

Does that clarification help you ?

You're right.

I think a lot of drivers feel that if the speed limit is, say 60 mph, then they have to do 60 mph or more. Anyone doing 50 mph is somehow wrong, for whatever reason.

I've never understood this personally.

A bit like a supermarket saying "you can load up to 10 items in a basket for free", so everyone loads 10 items. Why ?

12 MPG has something to do with it!

Maybe they were drunk? Surely you dont want them to speed and cause an accident.......
