Third time now out of four journeys. Turning off into a side road, a shout from the car behind. “You don’t have to go everywhere at five miles an hour!”

I was doing, until that manoeuvre, 20.
In a 20 zone.
Driving a car.
Behind a bus.
On a narrow road.
With oncoming traffic.

sigh.
Yes but IME most seem to read that as 50 not 20.

I used to work for a Fiat dealer so quite often would drive a Fiat Panda. Many times when I could see the whites of their eyes looking at me, they would still pull out, junctions, roundabouts etc. Would often almost cause an accident just to get in front of me. People assume certain cars are driven by old, slow and incompetent pensioners.
We used to get this in our Morris Minor. People didn’t seem to realise that getting up to speed with modern traffic wasn’t a problem, but stopping was. It did occasionally work to our advantage - on more than one occasion a copper with a handheld speed camer dropped his ‘weapon’ because he naively assumed we couldn't be speeding.
