    The Secret Brotherhood of C***s

    If you're in a line of traffic travelling at 35 mph on a 60 mph road, the car at the front is driven by a member of the The Secret Brotherhood of C***s.

    They do it on purpose. No-one is that ignorant of other road-users.

    Perhaps he has taken poorly whilst driving, maybe he almost had a crash further up the road and is a bit shaken, possibly his engine is knackered and he is on his way to a garage.

    There are a whole host of reasons why he might legitimately be driving under the speed limit.

    Benefit of the doubt, dear boy.
    Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

        They could have just been very old. An old neighbour in their 70's used to drive everywhere like a turtle.

          It's not a "he", it's a "them". We see different ones every day.

            Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.

              you could always try overtaking.

                At least two of those points can be answered by saying they shouldn`t be driving, should have pulled over.
                Most likely it`s some old turtle.
                What`s even more annoying in these circumstances is finding the cars in front of you (but behind the turtle) don`t overtake when there is an opportunity which make you think "shalll I risk overtaking these 6 cars".

                I`ve got a 30 mile drive to work through winding country roads and I`m always getting stuck behind one of these c**ts (as OP put it), or a lorry. Roads are so busy these days, even with plenty of power on tap it`s hard to get past without taking a stupid risk.

                    Just saying, like.
