Sunday drivers and bikers!

Why don't they keep out of my way? An otherwise normally fun drive yesterday up the A82 over Glencoe and up to Inverness was spoilt by the number of 40 mph numpties on the road.

The worst offenders were, of all things, two bikers that I was stuck behind for 20 MILES

They went storming off down the straights (not many on that road), but slowed down to about 40 for the bends, many of which I could have taken at 60.

Re: Sunday drivers and bikers!

Did they then continue at 40 through the towns? That's what I hate most...

Re: Sunday drivers and bikers!

These 40mph'ers do my bl**dy head in, I get them everyday to and from work, holding entire queues of traffic up. Worst of all, even when you speed up and give them a gentle nudge on their rear bumper, they call the police on you

My Sunday blast was ruined by two idiots, one on the way out and one on the way back, holding everyone up by crawling at 40 in a 60. I laughed when I got to the front of the queue behind them, the first one holding everyone up was an Octavia and the second one was a Fabia

Re: Sunday drivers and bikers!

Those bikers sound like the group of ******* I encountered on that road a month back heading down through Glencoe. Came up behind them about 10 miles north of Strathyre and got past a few of them but then had a couple of their mates come storming up on the outside to block me overtaking any more whilst trying to pen me in and brake test me in the corners. I was not happy. Was ready to ram the arseholes off the road by the time we got to strathyre as they just weren't going to let me overtake them. Some bikers don't deserve their licenses. I usually try to avoid that road unless it's early morning/late night now due to the aforementioned toss bikers and idiot 35mph brigade.
