Driving etiquette?

What are people like regarding driving etiquette?
Do you give way when you are supposed to?
What are your views on cyclists on the road and people driving too slow on the motorway?
As for cyclists, unless there is a dedicated cycle lane, for me they should drive on the pavement. Less likely to cause a fatality if a cyclist hit a pedestrian than say a bus hitting a cyclist.

Cruise control generally gets set to 77mph on the motorway, as in actual terms this is 75mph and wont trigger any cameras.
Anyone who says they have never driven faster than the speed limit in their life is a fucking liar.

What do people do when it’s pissing down with rain and there’s puddles in the road and pedestrians on the pavement?
Not that long ago, some bellend in a BMW drove straight through one and soaked me whilst I was out jogging.
Whilst basically every other driver has slowed down or moved out of the way of it slightly.

Wait mate, is it really mph in the UK too, not just in the USA?

Imagine what would happen if we switched the road system to metric, lol.
70mph = 112.654kmh.

The speed limit would likely go to 120 like it is in Spain, much more sensible tbf as 70 hasnt changed for decades and modern cars are now safer.
