I'm much happier when keeping up with traffic, in primary. Unfortunately, to 'fit in' with the traffic flow, this often means travelling at a distance behind the vehicle in front that is acceptable in terms of being able to stop, but risky in the sense of not seeing upcoming road defects in sufficient time.
I'm not sure how best to handle this - drop back (frustrating drivers behind), get tougher wheels, or start writing letters to the council about the road quality?
