Are you ever driving your car within the speed limit and passers buy think your'e speeding and give you the evilest stare ever?! Twice this week I have been subjected to this! Other day driving up to my house in 2nd gear doing about 25mph and some woman practically through a stinger in the middle of the road! Last night a woman walking a dog gave me the same treatment as I was doing 30 in a 30 
Years ago my brother was reported to the Police for apparentley driving recklessley in the Mini in my avatar, the bloody thing has no silencers so sounds like its going 100mph everywhere!
Grrrr!

You should have dropped down into first at 25 and seen what she did then

Me too 
This stupid old duffer. He'd flap his arms around as i went past 40 in a 40 in the corsa chirping away.
I did an experiment and drove past him @ 70mph in the merc (see him everyday on way to work) didnt bat an eyelid 
Sound does not equal speed dumb fucks.

Depends on the shape of the sign I believe, or if it has a red circle around it.
