Coach's i have seen always appear to be flying up and down the motorway.

Lorry's usually sit between 55 and 60 MPH. I tend to jump on the back of these when i'm using my phone and then get back up to 70 when i'm done.

Can't believe you think it's funny to do 130 MPH on the motorway, never mind the fact you think it's funny you may get a ban.

People lives are at risk when using motorways, one mistake is all it takes.

That don't feel safe!

Yeah - I wasn't in a rush, and when you are in a rush in a 12v, it isn't nice.

You would be correct. I come off the roundabout onto downhill slip road in 3rd, so wasn't in the best power band. I didn't bother changing down, but I couldn't catch it.

some busses/coaches arent even limitted!

But they are meant to be limitted to 100KPH (62.4 MPH)

Lorrys are 90KPH (56.7 MPH)

but the limitters are not easy to get an exact speed, hence why the lorrys are constantly in lane 2 of the carriageway, taking a day and an age to get past the other

My work lorry Iveco 7.5T hasnt got a limitter and is capable of 80-85MPH

ffs, all I mean, you can happily go along at 20mph around a roundabout in 3rd, but as soon as you put your foot down, nothing happens. Be in 2nd, and you have a bit more chance of overtaking.

Seriously, anyone who has driven a 12v extensively (namely Fonz) will tell you that you need to keep your revs up to maintain any sort of speed.

That's all I meant.
