ROTFL! You're right, it's such a rare event.

@StingrayBadger just snarkin. I rarely drive except to visit parents and I'm amazed how long it takes - 3 hours last time, mostly motorways, so averaging 40mph. I'm careful to remind myself that I am not _in_ traffic, I _am_ traffic. But I wonder how people apparently do this all the time. I had to drive my dad to a heart op. Maybe everyone has a similar reason. But I bet there's loads who are just addicted to the cult of individuality, which sees public transport as failure, a view backed up by awful public transport links. As a motorcyclist, 55 limit sounds very boring. But safer, greener. And if it was 55 reliably, it would likely be faster than a theoretical 70 limit.
