So many drivers just seem to speed up when they see a sportscar...  |
I think it's "sportscar syndrome".
Having been burned by Namibia's speeding fines a few times, I nowadays stick to the speed limit on long roads like a choir boy. (4 grand is no joke)
That this provokes people is understandable, but if some idiot in a massive bakkie decides that I have to be overtaken when I am already doing well above posted speed limits in town, you quickly realise that he just felt provoked, or felt that I questioned the size of some of his body parts or something...
