Rayman Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 That will just cause road rage and further increase accident/incidents! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 who ever thought of that is brain dead utterly brain dead, agree with last post will just cause road rage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terawua Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 OMG... my mates grandfather used to take it upon himself to do this as he felt that people should stick to the limit. All it resulted in was a load of people undertaking him and gesticulating w**ker signs at him. What a self righteous tool.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

how_supra Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 If that is the case, then people will just undertake them, you'll get idiots in the outside lane thinking its acceptable to sit there at 70, or 60omh just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLicense Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Surely they'll get pulled over by the local constabulary for not observing the highway code, as in the 2nd and 3rd lanes should only be used for overtaking, and you should pull back in as soon as it's safe to do so.

Yeah, right. How many traffic coppers do you see these days? I do 70 miles a day on the motorway, and see _maybe_ 1 per week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Don't know what all the fuss is, i've just signed up NOT!!!! Why do they need to employ people like this?? Why not first clean the roads up ie. get rid of those idot middle lane hogs before trying to keep the speeds down and forcing more undertaking?

ChrisSZ Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 It won't work!!! You'll never get BMW drivers to drive that slowly in 'their' lane:rlol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffvalenti Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 So what do these tossers, sorry pace drivers, do? Go up the motorway to the next exit and then back again? We've already got far too many prats on the roads these days as it is, FFS we don't need any more, with a misguided opinion that they are driving like a fcukwit for other peoples good.

Gaz Walker Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I'd get bull bars fitted, drive in the middle lane, and just when you see one of these fellas, just give them a quick nudge in near side quarter and send them into a spin! But thats just me! Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
how_supra Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 It won't work!!! You'll never get BMW drivers to drive that slowly in 'their' lane:rlol: Thats mostly true Except now we will have idiots in the middle lane doing 50mph and idiots in the far right hand lane doing 65mph. Bmw drivers will have to start using the hard shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Hang on did any notice that quote from auto trader the one saying that it would cause chaos etc etc. Is it just me or does it sound like they want us to speed?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Well i recon that after the second accident caused by one of these "pace drivers" they'll rethink the whole idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
how_supra Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 But they won't blame the pace drivers for the accidents. They will just increase the number into all of the lanes instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethr Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council site -- 13 May 2003 http://www.doncaster.gov.uk/db/enews/article.asp?Archive=Y&CatID=37&Art=922 I can't see anything about "volunteers employed to keep a steady speed of 70mph or less in the third lane of the motorway". I'd guess that the intention was to explain to following traffic just why the car in front was sticking to the 30 limit. EDIT: Hey, I do that! Can I have a sticker?

letmeshowyou Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 utter madness. Raises the question about calibration of pace driver speedo's doesn't it Or will they all have GPS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 So in these days of "ban the motorist" they are actively paying people to drive around for the sake of it? What a waste of energy and fuel... (At least, that's one argument that could be used against it...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 "Anyone interested in joining the scheme, which is supported by South Yorkshire Police, or requiring further information, should contact Peter Oliver, Senior Public Safety Officer in Neighbourhood Services on 01302 737538." Hey, how about we all ask for one of those stickers too? That'd cause them a few headaches when their Pace cars all do 80+ on the motorways...
