There was a discussion on here a while ago where Paul suggested putting a sign in the back window of your car saying 'nine points please pass' to encourage people to pass you whilst you sit on the speed limit.
Well i havent got any points and am trying to avoid getting any by absolutely anal concentration on speed limits and i was getting the usual loads of hassle all the time from people wanting to go faster (tailgating/light flashing etc). Most of its on a nice straight bit of road reduced a few months ago from NSL to 40 (and a prime scamera zone i would have thought).
Well i put the sign in the back window and it actually works..... three times now people have screamed up to my back bumper then actually pulled back a bit and passed me when the road gets clear (one with a cheery wave)....(makes driving in the gutter all the time so much more worthwhile
)
I can only assume that your average tailgater feels sympathy for you if it looks like you cant risk going any faster.
So am i being a sad bastard or is this sign a good idea (my only worry would be attracting the attention of the BiB.....that said you dont ever see Bib in Kent so its not a big problem
)
