>>Why are they a nuisance to you DF?
In a word, Pat, tailgating. It's not them holding me up in a 50 limit, it's the other way around. My impression (not very scientific) is that the majority of cars stick like glue to an indicated 50, but many truckers don't. Maybe it really is due to over-reading speedos in cars and calibrated ones in trucks. Or maybe truckers know from experience that they won't be ticketed for powering through a 50 limit at a true 56?
Interesting that trucks are increasingly being limited to 50-52. I have a friend in a vehicle hire workshop who says some customers are asking for Transit-type vans to be limited to 70.
