Oops, poor telgirl, need to keep an eye on the speedo, I often find I'm going faster than I thought in the civic. Fond that out again after taking the courtesy Aygo back. 50 really felt tlike 70mph in the Aygo, the other ay round in the civic

It is very easy to go over the speed limit..... fortunately I have Eagle Eyes in the passenger seat telling me to slow down.

I have a driving instructor sat next to me even though I passed my test zillions of years ago.........

I also use the cruise control as I find that helps

The cruise control does help when you remember to set it to the right value. Doing a steady 40 in a 30 area is no good at all.

Well it isn't really reccomended for built up areas probably for that reason. Excellent for dual carriageways and motorways though

Yes, I agree. I love the feeling of power when it accelerates all by itself up hill to maintain speed.
