Towing speed !

Why, did they inconvenience you? 

Whilst I agree (...kinda)

1. Have you never exceeded the speed limit or broken any other road law when towing or solo?

2. I regularly see behaviours both towing and solo, which I personally consider far more dangerous than a little excess speed on the motorway (towing without mirrors, massively mismatched rigs or rigs that are so badly loaded the car is pulling wheelies. Drivers on mobiles or undertaking other activities that distract them from driving).

I know I make mistakes and more on occasion!

....just saying

I'm not to bothered what speed people drive at , as long as they don't involve me in their accident .........

I thought it was a fair comment really , I don't exceed 60 MPH when towing , and generally drive within the Law , I have been towing 15 years and have seen  a few overturned caravans , I guess its not always caused by speed , but think as does the law that 60 MPH  is enough .

Can't see how it could inconvenience me other than if he lost control .

Cos that would cause a hold up ...........

Or may be injury or death even!

A question to those who think that speeders are doing little wrong!

If, 5 miles later down the motorway, you came across one of these same caravans lying on its side after presumably snaking and everyone  was out of the car and uninjured, would you stop to help or would you 'wave'   and  carry on?

You might think you are safe towing a caravan at 70 mph but if anything goes wrong such as burst tyre etc you have that much less chance of maintaining control to make a safe stop. We have all seen caravans pass us with the driver unaware of a slight sway and you wonder if it is going to get worse.  It could put others at risk so yes I think they are selfish idiots.

I can't control the world, and I'll lose no sleep if someone is towing over 60mph or someone solo is doing 80mph, just as it could be the doddery old person at 20mph or the 100's on the road that should have gone to specsavers.

Just journeying through life can be fraught with danger, I just do my own thing and chill.

As DaveFL says.  I could be argued that there are some caravans at 70mph that are a better all round outfit than those outfits we've all seen that are obviously mismatched or cars that are sat way down its suspension and are travelling at 59.9mph.

Whilst there will be cars safer than others at higher speeds it does not change the fact that the faster you are going the less chance you have of stopping safely or negotiating the problem.
