As long as I'm moving I'm happy to be doing less than the limit as give me more time to scan and stop.
Having done the Train Vs scooter/motorcycle comparison I'm mostly taking the train as its only 15 minutes difference in time.
I did my licence test in Silverdale in 1977 having had paid lessons. The test was more than described /\ /\ and the inspector had to pretend we had traffic lights as the nearest ones were in Takapuna.
Parallel parking was also a challenge as had to imagine cars as none around as eveyone had sufficient space to park on their properties.
