![]() It’s amazing how often they chicken out though, which also annoys me. Myself, I slow down if I see an opportunity for the car behind me to overtake. ![]() And they are the only times I will sometimes go over the speed limit – to overtake them on a straight stretch. I too get frustrated when people don’t do a constant speed. (Unless it’s Brown Mountain, but I pull over immediately to let people overtake there) I usually go about 15kph over the limit on the yellow signs going through bends as that is what my car is usually capable of. I do not slow down for bends unless there is a need to. I drive the speed limit because I think it is the safe thing to do. Ever since then I am the annoying person who sticks to the speed limit regardless of how many cars are behind me or how many bird brain drivers want to make wild assumptions about my driving skills. Until I calculated how much time I actually saved doing that and my brain finally woke up and told me that those 20 minutes are really not worth risking my or anyone else’s life for. It’s the only place where you can do it without getting caught really, so I thought “Why not, it’s a long drive and I want to be there already”. ![]() I went through a stage of speeding on my way to the coast. And most likely feel insecure about their masculinity. That just confirms my suspicion that drivers who have a compulsive need to speed do so because they want to show off. The same kind of arsehole who objects to motorcycles lane-filtering.Īnd I find it rather disturbing that there are so many people out there who assume that someone only sticks to the speed limit because they are scared of going any faster. Only a complete arsehole fails to recognise the commonsense in letting them past. If somebody is right behind you – it means they are travelling faster than you. This causes anger, frustration, excessive speed and unsafe overtaking maneuvers. It’s commonsense and its being considerate.īack to the idiot with traffic banking up behind him – when he gets to a nice straight stretch of the road, what does he do? He speeds up to 100km/h in order to prevent the people who have been patiently waiting behind him from getting past. If I see somebody in a car that can comfortably do a good speed on a gravel road catching up with me, I will even pull right over early to let my dust settle so they can get past quickly. Personally, my car is not much good on gravel roads. This is the reason the traffic banks up behind them, and this is the reason a considerate road user does what they can within reason to help those travelling faster than them to get past them. The reality is that the person who “is travelling at 100km/h” is positively terrified of bends and crests, and slows down to 80km/h for each one. All speedometer accuracy aside, if someone is following me at 100, they should be happy that I am not holding them up. There will be some great, extremely noisy, fun to be had with Rhino.Maybe but I dont agree when the car in front is travelling at the posted limit. Anyone who has kids will have learned to drown out noisy toys, but this one is quite obvious, especially if it is hurtling towards you and can’t be turned off or down. There is a speaker that mimics the engine starting up and driving as you go along, as well as the sound of the truck crashing. This also means that the trucks are loud. It takes moments to rebuild and start again, so you can crash back into a wall! If nothing else, the flying drivers may encourage the use of seatbelts.Īs this is a toy and not a high end remote control car, it has been designed with a young market in mind from the colourful livery to the stickers you can add. A relatively small bump sends your driver flying out, whilst bigger hits can see you losing the bonnet. The sweet added extra is the fact that they are designed to fall to pieces if you should crash. As a simple remote control they work really well and you get a surprising amount of control and speed out of the trucks. The ‘Monster Smash Ups’ are essentially a ‘my first remote control car’, but with some added extras. Rhino is driven by someone who is part Rhino. Not only do you get a different colour truck, you also get a different colour driver. This won’t be an issue if you stick to the ‘Monster Smash Ups’ range as you can get one of three types that are all similar, but different colours Rhino, Raptor and Venom. Unfortunately, I received a monster truck, whist my pal had a racing car – the races proved a little one sided as they either happened on tarmac or gravel. When growing up I was super excited that I was going to get a remote control car so that I could race my friends.
