30 mph !

[movingtables]

So i've had a 19 year break from driving.
If I didn't need to drive i wouldn't but i do.

soooooooo:

I stick to the speed limit and the roads on my commute to work are 30 mph zones.
I'ts starting to wind me up the amount of people that drive up me bum because i am sticking to the speed limit.

I don't remember it being this bad 19 years ago or are people just more rude these days?

Also do cars behind appear closer in your rear view mirror than they actually are ?

i'm trying to train myself not to look in my rear view mirror if i am just staying in my lane because
i think i'm getting a bit obsessed with it and i try and tell myself to keep an eye on where i am going rather than where i have been and just let the law breaker behind get angry instead of me.
BUT i am struggling

anyone else experience my 3rd world issue ?

Thanks all for confirming they are the idiots and not me

@movingtables I'm an advanced driving tutor with RoSPA RoADAR on the other side of the water from you. I'd strongly recommend a few sessions of extra tuition after your break from driving, to allow you to get back up to speed, gain confidence and learn a few tricks for managing traffic. If you fancy an informal hour or two out without committing to anything, just drop me a PM and I'd be happy to come out for an assessment/coaching drive with you.

Edit: To be clear, no charges or anything - it's something I do as a volunteer because I enjoy it. I'm qualified to teach and we can have a bit of fun.

thanks so much for the offer buddy that's so nice.
I've been taking it all to personal on the road mostly because my dad recently passed away and he left me his car and any aggression towards it
on the road felt personal, daft i know.
I've been driving without looking in the rear view mirror constantly and it all feels more relaxed now.
If i run into any issues and the offer is still available i'll take you up on it if that's ok.
many thanks again buddy.
