Boring. No wonder it takes so long to get anywhere with people like
you on the roads. You gotta push the limits, man.

Fraid it doesn't work like that. Try going at different speeds on a
known journey in traffic and see how your arrival times vary. Then try
the same journey but stopping all the time - e.g. for petrol etc. You'll
soon see what makes the real difference - not speed but time spent not
moving.



Whooooosh ... !


You may say that... but having been overtaken no less than three times
by the same police car (hence recognizable) in the space of ten miles on
a dual carriageway, then ending up right behind him on the same
off-ramp, I became convinced that speed (from say 45-75) matters little
in overall journey time, it only makes seconds of difference. Hence no
need to push the limits. I'm sure Jenson Button might well agree.



Whoosh again!

Don't you know what it means? I mean whoosh.
