That's because people, as a rule, are idiots.
My Dad would drive smashed, his line to my mother was 'we're all safer with me driving drunk than you driving sober'!
He indiscriminately smoked.
In 30 years time Jnr will be saying 'that's nothing when I was a kid my Dad ...'.
I have no idea what those dots might be, but I'm blooming sure whatever it is will make me look an idiot.
Fairy nuff. Maybe it's just the M5 - but I'm still mystified as to how it changed so radically literally over-night.Yes we all drive at 80 on the motorway. Except we don't when the speed average cams are out. M25 is very 70ish. M2 and M20 somewhat less so. When cars go off the M25 onto the M26 the speed boots up an extra 20 MPH in many cases. M25 is slightly different because you only need a few hundred people going 70 then the rest have to because it is nose to tail on so much of it so much of the time, and traffic in a procession can go only go as fast as the slowest care.
Either speed cams, rumour of speed cams, or it just seemed like overnight. Like the wine gut I suddenly found myself with, one morning.
what a mug.Acceleration - to 'take off' quickly you need enough power. Hard to have high power without high top speed. This is increasingly the case as the size of the car gets bigger. A tiny two seater made of aluminium could do 0-60 in 5 seconds and a top speed of only around 80, but the top speed would be much greater for a family estate.

(if you know that junction, you’ll know exactly where the police were sitting)
