Excellent video of a B4 RS4 showing 2 motorbike policeman that they aren't the only ones with a monopoly on safe speed.

Isle of Man. I've driven it with the road closed in a Honda Civic Type R. Unfortunately, got one that wouldn't rev, so saw no more than 120. The bikes were probably Honda Pan European. Commendably safe driving by the RS4 driver, who I guess was probably a cop as well.

Do I understand that the Isle of Man doesn't have the NSL? What fun.
|
|
Correct. Out of towns and villages it is GLF!!!
|
|
But in the clip, I noticed that local traffic was often pootling along at 40... Just like the old days. Good for everyone's driving.

No NSL though dangerous driving convistions can be served, actually makes much more sense encouraging speed to be in line with the conditions rather than a falt 60 or 70 waht ever the weather, traffic density etc.

Sorry, I meant to say:
The IOM has no NSL though dangerous driving convictions can be served, which actually makes much more sense by encouraging speed to be in line with the conditions rather than a flat 60 or 70 whatever the weather, the traffic density etc.

That sounds remarkably like commonsense to me.
You want to be careful the Orwellians don't come on and get you.
"Speed is bad, speed cameras good"... repeat ad nauseum.

Last bastion of old-style robust English civilisation... I seem to remember they kept the birch longer than the rest of us too.

Last I heard, it is still legal to shoot at Scotsmen on the IOM.
Not very friendly if it is true.

It's a pleasure to see driving like this, it's very rare to see somebody who can drive like that, most drivers would struggle do 70mph safely along those roads. I was supprised to see the other vehicles going so slow though.

Very restrained. I was hoping that a large Yorkshireman would hurtle past.
