Yesterday was very foggy in East Anglia and the Yarrow family was heading up to Southwold, on the Suffolk coast. It’s back roads and tiny villages all the way, so narrow 60mph speed limit zones broken up by occasional 30mph areas. In the fog, I didn’t want to be doing much than 20mph in any of it. I was pretty content following a Ford Fiesta doing that speed and there was no chance of getting past anyway. But that didn’t stop two young lads in an old VW Golf having a go at a double overtake. Needless to say, they got halfway through the task before bottling out and diving into the gap between me and Fiesta. A friend travelling the same route a few minutes behind had also come across them and had a similar experience. Drivers like that will kill us all. Idiots. More fog today, so a slow trip down to Hatfield, Herts, to meet up with team behind the relaunched SsangYong and drive the all-new Korando (pictured). Key question is why are they bothering. Finding customers might be a challenge.
