I agree with you Midnight,I always considered them as C roads.
The biggest problem with OUR motorways is not the speed limits,BUT the morons who will not follow the "Rule of the road " and DRIVE ON THE LEFT.!! Its the same every time I use the motorways ,as yesterday coming down from Perth M9,M6 etc,clear road ,slightly higher than speed limit on speedo,but sat-nav says not,and 4 or 5 times I have to come out of the left hand lane,and go over 2 lanes ,then back across again to pass an idoit who is passing NOTHING,and thats simply because they believe its the "Fast Lane".
In Germany there are signs quite frequently reminding driver to keep over in the right lane "When NOT overtaking"
That was one of my pet peeves in the UK, and it still is... here in Germany :dozey:Quote:

Same here yet so many times even then they don't get the message and continue in lane 2 oblivious!
I don't think the 80 limit will happen. I heard that in an interview on radio the other day it was said that you'd only get prosecuted for doing 80 + 10% +6mph, so you'd be able to go along doing an indicated 100mph perfectly legally.
I'd like undertaking to be legal, it is abroad without deaths galore.Quote:

Once driving standards are improved, then I'd like to see motorway speeds increased to 80mph.
I do not mind so much the slow ones in the fast lane, on a mostly empty road except (although it does mean they are at least intelligent enough to actuall look in the rear-view mirror) when you move over to pass on the right and when you are two hundred feet back suddenly change lanes, but it is the ones in heavier traffic who, even when being passed in the slow lane, repeatedlyl stay in the fast lane.Quote:

They did not pass in one giant block of cars;
Now the others did not go back into the fast lane for some time as the next slow lane cars was about one thousand feet ahead, but when I saw the line of cars behind me in the fast lane I thought this is bs, so after I passed her I cut back in front of her quickly. (No I did not tap my brakes to scare her)
When I looked in the rear view mirror, her turn signal was on to switch over tot the slow lane.
It should not have to take such a belligerent action to get these morons to drive in the lane they belong in.
