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.

while being 're-educated' for driving too fastWe were all taught how speeding's bad (m'kay) and all that, and they showed us the two-second rule advert which I hadn't seen since I was about 8, or an updated version of it, and the instructor used the phrase as used in the advert:
'Only a fool breaks the two-second rule'
and only briefly in passing did he mention that it takes about two seconds to say that. I mean sweet zombie jesus, it took me thirty years for hat penny to drop, so I'm either dead slow (and therefore one of those children crossing) or that's a terrible way to spread that message.
(Other handy everyday measurements include: 2p piece=1 inch diameter, and one verse of happy birthday = 10 seconds, or about three hours if it's being sung to you, in a pub, with everyone looking at you)
