The original submission notes: “Along this stretch of main road this driver drove at 35mph in a 60mph zone. As the weather was clear, dry and there were no sharp bends, he was something of a Sunday driver causing a tailback. If he had been driving at a reasonable speed and slowed down at bends then it would have been okay. This low speed wasn t maintained because of safety but was down to being in front and not showing consideration for other road users, unless he didn t notice the tailback he was causing which would mean he was unfit to drive. Should impatience have occurred it could have resulted in an accident with the winding of the road. I hereby would like to praise all drivers stuck in the tailback for not trying to overtake along this stretch but waiting until it was safe to do so. --- Context --- Type: Bad Driving Location: Warwickshire Vehicle: Vauxhall Registration: RA12 VKV Date reported: 2025-06-24 --- Safety takeaway --- Stay defensive, leave space, and avoid escalating risky behaviour.” Keeping this first-hand wording matters because it preserves how the event was experienced at the time of reporting.

This incident is best read alongside nearby reports to understand whether the behaviour is occasional or recurring. Comparing reports by location and incident type helps surface trends that are more actionable than any single account on its own.
