Here’s an interesting question. How frequently do you get stuck on a dual carriageway with a central reservation behind a car sticking to 60MPH?

This seems to happen to me nearly every time I go out. Is it that these drivers just don’t feel comfortable doing more than 60MPH (in which case I would respectfully submit that they should not be in the outside lane), or is it because they think the national speed limit is 60MPH?

If so, I have news for them. The national speed limit for a car on a dual carriageway with a central reservation is 70MPH. It’s in the Highway Code – the book everybody is supposed to read before taking their test.
