Do you speed?

Actually, no.

I got slammed with a BIG speeding ticket recently, and now I am incredibly conscious of my speed.

But I used to (obviously!).

Me too. I now use my cruise religiously. I am paranoid about going the speed limit now.

Time Save Per Trip at Different Speeds

Trip Miles-----45mph vs 55mph-----55 vs 60-----60 vs 65

----5-----------1 minute ------------27 sec. -------23 sec.

----10----------2 min. 25 sec. -------55 sec. -------46 sec.

----20----------4 min. 50 sec. ----1 min. 49 sec. ---1 min. 32 sec.

Trip Miles 1038.3 miles (the distance from my house to WDW)

Average speed of 60MPH - 17 hours, 19 minutes
Average speed of 65MPH - 16 hours
Average speed of 70MPH - 14 hours, 50 minutes
Average speed of 75MPH - 13 hours, 51 minutes

Average speed of 500MPH (airplane) - 2 hours, 5 minutes

Based on that last number, it's a wonder that we still drive to/from WDW.

I did make the drive home once (solo) in 16 hours. That included two mandatory gasoline stops (with associated bio-break) and getting caught in a blizzard in the mountains of West Virginia (where I only managed to go about 40MPH).

So you can decide whether or not I am a lead foot.

yes, I do, but when I catch myself, I do try to slow down. On expressways, etc. I use cruise to manage my lead foot. So far, knock on wood, no tickets.

9 points on my license says that I am a speeder.....oh wait- I might be down to 7 now, I think 2 of them came off late in 2005...whoohooo I can get another ticket now and not worry bout losing my license!!!

Not only am I a speeder, I also believe that nobody can drive as well as me....however I dont suffer from road rage...so it evens out
