Towing a caravan at 50mph on a 60mph single carriageway is no worse than most HGVs - I don't see many of them pulling into laybys to allow traffic to pass.

It's the idiots that can't wait to pass you then either turn off at the next junction or match your speed that annoy's me - I think why ?

A few years back I was towing a van in Norfolk with a tail back of 20/30 vehicles it was like a night at Blackpool illuminations honking horns flashing lights failed attempts to overtake me.At last a sign said dual carriageway a head soon as my rig was fully on dual carriage way people roared pased shaking their fists ,then they saw the tatty old red mini in front of me  who,s driver was about 90 I dont know whether it was the drivers age or the smoking mini that couldnot do more than26/28 MPH what a lot of red faces. automatically jumping to conclusions that it was I who was to blame because I was towing a caravan. 

But all highways and byeways that have a speed restriction sign, Remember its the maxium permitted speed allowed not the minimum speed permitted on that road,Which I think a lot of people think it is.
