Irritating impatience

Posted by Andy C <iframe src='https://members5.boardhost.com/classicbikemart/info/user=Andy+C' width='330' height='300' border=0 style='border:none;'> on March 22, 2026, 5:53 pm

Nearly everytime I go out on the bike, in 20MPH limits drivers get right up my chuff, dangerousley so IMHO.

Perhaps it is just drivers around here, or is anyone else finding this?

Mind you not much different in 30 limits.

Who needs a signature anyway......

Agree!
I find either they overtake me at the first opportunity or they realize I'm sticking precisely to the limit (thanks to cruise control) and they drop back to follow at 20mph
I guess they fear a bike sticking to the limit so accurately might just be an unmarked police bike? (it is a BMW RT with a visible rear facing camera!).

I use cruise control set at 20 mph on the car but the old bike struggles to sit accurately at 20 mph. Most roads i ride are over 20mph. Just a short patch very near the house at the large school

Spot on Andy even worse in London where everyone is in a rush.

Seems to have only become noticeable around here since the introduction of 20 MPH limits.

Drivers get right up your chuff in the 20 zone and stay there when it becomes 30.

Really unsettles me I'm afraid.

Royal Enfield Bullet riders don`t have these problems.

I break 20 limits, any time I think I’ll get off with it.

So do all actual men.

Re: Irritating impatience

Hmm, interesting standpoint.

So only actual men get points on their licence.

Been quite a few nicked here in 20 limits, I dont want to be one of them, guess I will have to put up with not being an actual man.

If you get enough points to get banned for exceeding 20mph limits it’s difficult to explain to the lads down the coffee bar on a Saturday night. No street cred.
