I wish they'd put some limits on some of the rural roads around here.Some are 70mph, but I don't know of any rural roads with a limit below 60mph.
Boy racers in their tarted up Fiestas love going out for a hooning session up the narrow lanes in the summer.
I saw a couple on one lane a few months back who were using walkie talkies to let each other know when the road was clear so that they could drive a stretch with blind bends without having to slow down.
Normal drivers would probably do the same lane with three blind bends at about 25mph max. These guys were doing the full sixty.
I did have one guy hurtling towards me last week on a straight stretch. When he saw my three lights, he must have assumed I was a car because he slammed on his anchors. Took him an age to come to a halt on the wet gravel.
If it had been summer, he probably wouldn't have bothered trying to stop and would have forced me into the hedgerow.
