This weekend we voyaged south yet again from the crusting metropolis of D'Auckland to the mighty city of Rotovegas and the geriatric commune of Roundabouta (formerly known as Tauranga). This was a trip we'd made far too many times in the last few months, and it seemed to us that the skyrocketing fuel costs seemed to be making an impact on people's driving habits where all the bullshit propaganda had failed.
Yes, people were still driving like pillocks, but there was a noticeable absence of vehicles traveling any faster than maybe 110km/h at most. Overtaking maouevres in passing lanes and on the motorway were executed by and large with a minimum of acceleration, and just sufficient extra velocity to actually get past.
In fact, the only vehicle I noted driving with any alacrity at all was a Polis Falcadore exiting from the Meremere Dragway entrance - I'm reasonably sure he accelerated fast enough to spin up the rear wheels.
