Cars"Here in my car", said 80s pop hero Gary Numan, "I feel safest of all". He obviously never shared the same stretch of road as me, then. Automotive tales of mirth and woe, please.

*Beep*My mum's car does this every time I (or indeed anyone) drive the car over 75mph. I was giving my dad a lift to Luton airport, and the bloody thing gave away that I was speeding.
"Funny thing dad, it doesn't beep again when you get to 100!" I said. That didn't calm him down.
I then managed to follow it up with
"Yeah, and it stays quiet even when you go over 130."
It was fascinating watching my Dad's facial expression turn from "OH-DEAR-GOD-MY-SON-DOES-130MPH-HES-GOING-TO-DIE" to "I wonder how he managed to do that in a Fiat Punto?" to "That's mildly impressive" to "THAT-LITTLE-TWAT-BETTER-NOT-DO-THAT-WHILE-IM-NOT-AROUND".
Fortunately he didn't ban me from driving cos I needed the car for work. Should take an hour to get there, takes me 30 mins! Huzzah.
