Fair enough, continue doing what you do. Before long you'll probably be posting footage of a head on collision of some car trying to pass you.

Too much emphasis on the speedo and not enough on road conditions.
I'd guess you are slow to accelerate up to speed as your watching for that last km/h to come up on the speedo. You're not doing anything wrong and plenty of people drive like that, but it can be very annoying to be following a hestitant over-cautious driver.

I was one of the posters that pushed for chat to be allowed and stated that if people didn’t like the comments they got to just ignore it and move on. But............

I can’t ****ing believe the last few comments about Stealth’s driving. I wish I had Stealth’s self control with my speed. Good job Stealth, you done SFA wrong.

If that's the case, then you probably need to go on an anger management course, or stop driving.

Boards logic:

Cam car > speed limit: Slow down you reckless moron, you'll cause an accident.
50% Cam car = speed limit: Speed up you reckless moron, you'll cause an accident.
50 % Cam car = speed limit: Slow down you reckless moron, you'll cause an accident.
Cam car < speed limit: Speed up you reckless moron, you'll cause an accident.

You can't win - people are actually vilifying the op for traveling at the correct speed :pac:

The funny thing is, i do exaclty as the op here, go to 64 on the speedo on a 60 km\h road, 84 on an 80 et cetera.
First time i posted a clip here, a lot of the comments were exactly the opposite as what op here gets to swallow.
You cant win indeed.

Silent Running

There are some terrible drivers here on Boards. Just a fact of life, and you can see them on the road every day. Inappropriate speed and passing, running red lights, tailgating, non indicating on a roundabout (my personal hate) and generally acting the sack. They probably think they're skilled drivers though. :rolleyes:

did I say it annoyed me?It clearly does annoy some people though. I stated he is doing nothing wrong.

artanevilla

If you are behind a car going 50kmph in a 100kmph zone, you don't cross a continuous white line to overtake. You sit and wait.

Isambard

you might not but most people would.

With you on this...a case of doing the right thing rather than doing things right.
I remember when I had my first driving lessons being told to follow the traffic speed (within reason) and you could be failed for sticking to the speed limit if cars were 'forced' to overtake you.

I think that would be the correct thing to do if the roads were fairly busy but the majority of the clip it was just him and the car overtaking on the road.
I'm not sure what he should be doing different if a car blasts past him at well above the speed limit.

The 2 women at the end

I know the cam car had the right of way but life is too short to waste on people like that, pull in and move on.

They should hand in their drivers license for pulling over for that wench.

It's not unknown for some parents (the SUV driving ones) to "self impose" a one way system on some roads around schools, they will force others to comply, as demonstrated in that video.

Here you are blaming the safer driver instead of the idiot who dangerously overtakes.
:rolleyes:

If this is your attitude to driving I think we'd all be safer if you didn't drive...

If someone is getting over taken that much does it not make you think why it's happening?

This is the boards motors forum. Everything is wrong except going fast.

It seems like he has changed job and now does most his driving at times when the roads are quiet. Since there are less Garda on the roads at this time it's up to him to police the roads(speed up, block ext.) when someone goes to overtake on a solid white line.

I didn't see anyone getting blocked but don't let that get in the way of a good fairytale.

Always wary of that cross at Beamore. I've seen a couple of accidents there over the years and fair few close calls.

Yep, it's a dodgy junction. I always slow down there now, you can't see much from the video but he looked, saw me coming, waited and then pulled out. Much closer than it looked on cam.
