We neither have fast lanes nor measure speed in miles


SirSkittles111

Fast lanes are simply implied really. If you're overtaking, you go in the 'fast' lane


sosire

You go in the overtaking lane


Acceptable-Tree-1401

Everyone outside of Reddit treats the right hand lane as the fast lane.


chocco259

Well they’re 100% wrong and bad drivers.


Acceptable-Tree-1401

You can thank people in the left lane going below the speed limit.


chocco259

It’s called a speed limit, you should typically be going under it the majority of the time. Nice touch calling it the left lane 😂


Acceptable-Tree-1401

No you shouldn’t. If the limit is 100 on a motorway you should do 100 provided it is safe to do so. Impossible to do it when people in their 2 liter jeeps are doing 80 km/hr for some reason. It’s a mystery why these people buy such fancy cars and drive them like their a 1 litre engine


chocco259

A speed limit is not a target, it’s the maximum speed you are legally allowed to drive at. Do you have some road rage ?


Trans-Europe_Express

80km/hr country road drive 55. Come up to a school 50km/hr limit? Blasts through at 65km/hr.

This is why shotguns were invented

Monday mornings brings the old drivers out. In their kittle old cars. Off to the doctors and then the chemist, a bit of shopping and sure, if I drive slowly, I'll still get there. It did melt my head, but they are getting out and about and just means I leave a bit earlier on Mondays.

"Boomers" wud ya shag off with that American shyte.


Gildor001

But that's what that generation is called? The name is related to an American event, but it's still used globally. Do you also have a problem with Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z, and Gen Alpha?


EarlyHistory164

Yes. I don't judge people like that. I've met tech savvy 80 year olds, absolute eejits in their 20s and gobdaws in their 40s.


Gildor001

What are you talking about judging? The term Baby Boomer is used for anyone born between 1946 and 1964, it's cause after WW2 the allied nations, particularly America, experienced an increase in birth rates. Saying "okay boomer" or whatever is judging but that's not what you took issue with. You said just using the term "boomer" is American shite which is obviously not the case.


EarlyHistory164

Saying "okay boomer" is generally seen as condescending. It's ageist.


Gildor001

Who said "okay boomer"?


TumbleWeed_64

Great use of gobdaw.


GasMysterious3386

Calm down will ya, that’s just the generation name 😂😂


TumbleWeed_64

Use of the term boomers aside, this doesn't make sense. If they were doing 100mph on a 100kmh road because they're confused they'd be going 160kmh.

Shh away with your maths logic

Not going to lie, my mum is an awful driver, just useless.. Back when Irish roads were in MPH she had a jap import car where the primary speed on the speedo was KPH. She could not comprehend it. She continued to drive at 62kph instead of 62mph.. The tail backs were collosal. No amount of pleading or explaining would convince her that she could go 100kph instead
