I try really hard to keep to the speed limits.

The limit through our village is 30 but this is usually completely ignored by drivers passing through. Nipping along as fast as you like on a open clear road maybe OK, but tearing along on a single track lane you have no idea who or what you're likely to meet round the next bend, children on ponies, stock being moved from one field to another - or my husband and the tractor.

If some of these drivers realised in car versus tractor there is only one winner (and no its not the car no matter how good a driver you think you are) !

However, at 3am on the M5 I can do Bromsgrove to Padstow in 3hrs 20mins, so I'm not preaching just asking drivers to have a little more consideration in the countryside.
