lol...i have a low powered car...and i can only use first gear most of the time to its full potential without breaking the speed limit...
but really...no car to its full potential would stay within the law...jsut "high powered" ones get there faster...
and us younger generation have the reflexes and reaction times to justify this faster response...older people dont...so of course they are gonna complain...
if there were no oldies on the roads, trips would be 10 mins shorter, long trips would be an hour shorter (i can verify this quite easily)
Loganholme to Lismore
Midnight onwards. sat night/sun morning driving with a few freinds...they in their cars...5 cars total...
hardly anyone else on the road...
never exceding the speed limit (not me at least)
total trip time - 1 hour, 15 mins...
Lismore to Loganholme
midday onwards. sunday. driving alone...along with the "general public" on the road...not too many cars, but 40% of them were 5kph under speed limit. conditions would safely allow 20kph over...but yeh...and at least another 40% going 10-15kph under speed. like WTF for?!?!
total trip time - 2 hours, 10 mins
sure theres more cars on the road...which is a contributing factor...but the main point is, older people dont concentrate on the road and their car as much...and lose foot pressure on the accel, and thus keep getting slower and slower...then they look down...and think shit...going too slow...speed up to speed limit...and slowly back down...enjoy the scenery....GET OFF THE FUCKING ROAD AND GO HAVE A PICNIC!!!
i hardly come across people that hold a consistent speed...let alone concentrate on driving...
sure i sit back and all, but im always looking at the road ahead, what traffic is doing, whos around me etc etc...
my rant...and also the reason i think night driving is safer...old people stay away from it cos they cant see...
