You really need to learn what a stopping distance means.
Just over a car length (14-18 feet?) at 70 mph is just way too close.
And then looking to undertake as I am about to pull over out your way as you are so obviously impatient....
What is thinking distance?
Thinking distance is the distance the car travels after the person driving has seen the danger but before they’ve applied the brakes.
Thinking distance is roughly 1 foot for every 1 mph you are travelling. In other words, if you are travelling at 30mph then your thinking distance is approximately 30 feet.
No consideration to allow drivers onto a busy dual carriageway (A1 at Stamford), then overtakes at first opportunity just to drive ridiculously slowly and brake-test every two minutes.
Seen this car many times, pointlessly overtaking fast flowing traffic, often on blind bends at ridiculous speeds into oncoming traffic. Would not want to be the next owner of that car.
This bellend almost took me out on a roundabout in Swinton this afternoon. Too impatient to queue in the correct lane, they undertook in the bus lane and cut into me.
