"A police spokeswoman refused to comment on Ms Green's case but said driving too slowly could cause problems on the road. "In general, driving too slowly can be a hazard. It is not an offence in itself, but the manner of driving can cause a hazard, and be dangerous, which can lead to an offence," the spokeswoman said."

Actually ... I passed one of them at 117 and he just kept going. Maybe he was on police business.

He also sounds like a professional bully. Instead of slowing down and dealing with the situation, he flashes his headlights at them and sits up their arse to get them to speed up? Having said that, drivers traveling below the speed limit in the middle or right lane is inconsiderate and is the point Dave raised, not the one I was making.

Your interpretation ... I think he'd have enough experience not to create a dangerous situation ..

I'd trust the opinion of a well trained police officer over someone who drives trucks for a living.... just me.

never mind what he said, he's got no idea
seriously, if a copper pulled you over on a freeway and told you what you were doing was dangerous, you'd take it a bit more serious than a b-double driver having a sook to the local rag. If you don't think so you're kidding yourself, or you should be in the next mad max.

That would be an ideal situation .... most drivers/riders would adjust their attitude in that case..
But in the real-world, they collect the tax (aka fine) for their masters, and send you on your way ..

Trouble is, they don't pull them over and tell them - and as a consequence the numpties believe they haven't done anything wrong.
