I'm not likely ever to have a speeding ticket these days. On the rare occasions I drive a motor car, I drive like a pensioner. This has amused me for a few years now! I used to drive around in suitably fast cars (Ford Crapi 2.8i, then Honda Civic 1.6 VTec which was awesome. That was all in my jet flying days, when I had the patience of Saddam Hussein. I'd get really pissed off with old dodderers wearing loads of hats and coats, driving at just under the speed limit everywhere. Those little old ladies who could barely see over the top of the steering wheel were the bane of my life.
Now I'm one of them, and can't quite understand what all the angst was all about. Maybe it's a result of doing 3mph everywhere for the last 6 years!

Patience is a quality you admire in the driver behind you but despise in the one in front!

Speed is all relative, apparently one of the British racing car drivers (I forget which) got out of a car at 30 miles an hour and broke his collarbone, he had thought it was stopped! ...the biggest thing that gives you away as a pensioner Loafer is your term "motor car" :) Would Einstein have agreed with that, I wonder?
