The original submission notes: “When got behind this car, it was doing approx 50mph in this 60mph limit, that despite being a single track was wide enough to do 60 on. Although when this car noticed me behind, they slowed to 40, then 30, then indicated left and braked. Thus thinking they were stopping, I increased my distance/gave them room. However because of this they returned to 45mph. When we both entered the village of Grasby 30mph limit, this car did not slow to 30mph, just kept doing 40mph!” Keeping this first-hand wording matters because it preserves how the event was experienced at the time of reporting. As more reports are logged from the same area, small details such as overtaking style, lane movement, junction pressure, or recurring time windows can reveal whether this is an isolated event or part of a broader local trend.

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.
