    A few years ago I was "upgraded" to a Camry hybrid at Wellington airport. Driving it on that road gave a whole new meaning to understeer!

    Dashcam perspective can seem worse than reality. In saying that there were some suspect overtakes too close to a corner going on there lads.

    I rode over that hill today. Idiots who aren't confident enough to drive a twisty hill road at a reasonable pace should stay the hell off it. Take the train. A stupid woman in yellow VW Bug doing 42kph the whole time. Oblivious to the long line of frustrated cars behind her. Limit is 100 and any car can comfortably do 80kph. 42kph what a bitch.
    Happiness is a means of travel, not a destination

    she was doing her public service of keeping the traffic travelling at an appropriate speed for that road.
    by you wanting to travel faster very obviously means you have no idea of what is a safe speed to be traveling at, she very obviously just saved your life and you should have tooted your appreciation and given her the very friendly wave as you went past her
