What drives me mad on motorways? Is it other drivers, the idiots who treat changing lanes like a game of chance, the ones who show no consideration for others whatsoever? Well, yes, they are a factor, but they aren't the focus of my rant today.
Motorway signs, overhead, that declare the speed limit to be 40mph when the traffic is stationary. Forty miles per hour? I'd LOVE to be doing forty; what I'm actually doing is sitting here getting bored out of my tiny little skull and contemplating whether a horse-drawn carriage would have got me to my destination faster.
Honestly, the people who set the speed restrictions on those signs obviously know what's happening on the motorway - they've obviously heard about the crash/roadworks that has caused a problem, surely to goodness they must have heard that the traffic has stopped altogether.
Forty miles an hour - even FOUR would be an improvement!
A fairly pointless rant, but if you've ever had to drive on a UK motorway then you'll sympathise.
