Well, for one thing, if I come up behind a 40mph lorry (or one of your 'flat-caps' from another thread) on a single-carriageway, as soon as a straight bit of road with no oncoming traffic presents itself I can pass him quickly and effortlessly - whereas you will be stuck behind him for the next 100 miles or so :twisted:
