Norfolk - Highest concentration of Numpties?
Discussion
Spent 3 days last week at the Norwich office and must of had every Norfolk Numptie out on the road in front of me.
One did 30 mph on a 60 mph road and none of the 8 cars between me and this numptie made any attempt to overtake!!
Other numptie favourites included slowing down everytime a vehicle was coming the other way - then speeding up when the road was clear and I was trying to overtake! How do you Norfolk boys cope? I am back up there again for three days - Help

Going back there for a week on Wednesday 
Last time I came back I had to follow a police car who insisted on doing 10 mph under the speed limit for about 45 mins, grrr (thru 40, 50 and 60 limits).
This time I go up there'll be the wonderful combination of tractors and caravans, that'll be fun

There is one other Norfolk trait that you haven't identified which very frustrating.....
Norfolk drivers tend to drive at 45mph.....evrywhere. Classic example is the Norwich to North Walsham main road which has 30, 40 , 50 and 60 mph linits along its way.
So there you are looking to get past numpty who is doing 45 in a 60 but you run out of road. You then drop into Coltishall in a 30 zone. Numpty then dissapears ahead of you at 45 ! When you get the other side of Coltishal yo get onto the 1.5 mile straight and catch said numpty up again to get baulked by traffic and then you're into the 50 where they're doing 45 again
I know Norfolk very well and this is the worst trait of the lot up there.
Where my parents live it is nothing for the main road to come to grinding halt as Dennis meets Harry coming the other and they stop to chat !! Cars waiting in a queue in either direction !
That's the pace of life though. What Norfolk does have though are some seriously fast flowing roads where you can really enjoy the TVR. All within the speed limits obviously

Just overtake him - he cant drive faster than 45, so he'll never catch you anyway!!
My tactic for the 45mph brigade is to:
1. Overtake
2. Wave a thankyou when they congratulate you on the manouvre by flashing their lights
3. Rigourously obey 30mph limits
4. Use rear foglight when the tailgating begins
5. If they persist slow to 25
6. Reduce speed by increments of 5mph every few minutes if they don't back off
