Diogenes 1 Dec 9:12am, 1 Dec 2024 89,608 posts	0 Diogenes Yes, but people driving 30mph in a 50 limit when conditions are perfect are really bloody annoying. Something I’ve noticed a lot lately is how many people drive manual vehicles but don’t use their gears. There’s a steep hill out of our village and several times I’ve been behind cars that get progressively slower as the go up the hill, dropping to 20mph in a 50 zone by the time they reach the top before eventually reaching 50+ as they go down the other side. That’s just bad and lazy driving.
