I just need to vent!!

I ride about 20 miles each way to work when i use the Vfr on a mix of main roads and back roads. What has me vexed is the car drivers that are only able to drive at 45 mph in a National limit where there's far less to cause you trouble, that's not the problem though they can go as slow as they like that's fine, its when you get to a 30 mph limit where we all know there is far more dangers for drivers and riders and those same car drivers are such experts at the craft of driving that they seem to believe there safe going 45 mph. I have on a couple of occasions had cars that i passed in the National limit a few miles back catch me and over take me while im doing 30 in a 30.  Off cause there never far away when we hit the 60 limit where i catch them and pass them Again. If there in such a rush they should go fast where its deemed safer to do so. THE NATIONAL LIMIT areas.  Vent over. As i have written before i am running on the Michelin Pilot Power tyres at the moment and there great. They offer good feed back and grip really well and provide great confidence. There is a draw back though my rear tyre is near the wear limit and its only covered nearly 3K miles. I think though its worth the extra running cost as they are so good to ride on. Also i got a cheque from the Insurance company of the the Focus driver that hit me so that's all finished with now.
