LOL, I just typed a response to this thread but then deleted it. I have used the roads since 1976 mainly on motorcycles. My safety is my responsibility, it is not another person's. Once you are smashed and broken, blaming someone else is not a lot of good. The possibility of suffering permanent brain damage in a crash means that even if it is not your fault, you'll never know.

Agree 100% Shaun - no shortage of knobheads on the road, but it is up to us (as far as possible) how we deal with it, hence "defensive" riding/driving. Being in the right means nothing when you're brown bread.

I don't know, my car is about 220bhp, I wouldn't mind losing 120bhp on the proviso I could keep the 275ft/lbs from 1800-45000rpm lol

But we really need to torque (sic) about bhp/ton ( or the equivalent in metric) so I have a low in one car of around 250 and 400 in another, DC motors give torque from virtually zero rpm, but I don't know of any DC motor that will rev at 45000 shaft rpm?

...... Is only half the story, everyone else's safety is my responsibility too.
No good being sorry when someone else is brown bread.

True enough, but defensive riding/driving means assuming everyone else is an idiot and putting yourself in the best position and at the best speed to (a) make yourself visible to other road users, and (b) be ready to react to a hazard as early as possible. I'm sure driving like this would help keep everyone safe.
